35, Fat & Depressed

According to a recent CDC study, the average gamer is all three of those things. Apparently, no one who posts on abodes is an average gamer. None of us is 35 years old, nor do I believe any of us is depressed. The study was done in in Seattle, a city I that’s kinda known for having high rates of depression. As for the weight issue, what American (celebrities don’t count) couldn’t stand to lose a few pounds? Really, this just seems like a poorly constructed study. But it’s more fun to just argue with the results & say the CDC is wrong.

Also, who comes up with the ideas for these studies anyway? And if I can’t be a Cocktail Historian, how do I get a job conducting them?

Vortigus: Sure, I won’t sue, but you agree to let me violently beat you and your family if you screw me over

I award Vortigus a
