If you want kids to get off the couch then give them a compelling reason to hit the playground. Besides, I would think that poor eating habits have a lot more to do with shortening a child's life span than a sedentary lifestyle.

I absolutely agree with you Beestie. This is 100% the wrong way to motivate. Not all kids are getting enough excercise, true. But what kids are doing otherwise is not all bad either. I know many kids who spend their free time working with clay or like some of you said, reading. This add is simply ridiculous and I think most people will see it as that..therefore although whoever put the add out could have had a very effective and and meaningful add, they wasted millions of dollars just pissing people off.
