Videogames to Blame for Child Obesity?

Steve Easterbrook, the chief executive of McDonalds UK, has recently blamed videogames for child obesity. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Are videogames really to blame? It seems kind of silly and stupid of a company such as McDonalds, which makes its money stuffing the mouths of children (see above), to blame the gaming industry and counter-culture for unhealthy eating habits.

It must be the games that have been climbing the sales charts lately - I bet Call of Duty 4 is responsible for thousands of pounds gained over the holiday season, not those Christmas cookies.

What else is new? Our good 'ol pal, Steve-O, finds himself drunk (as I'm sure he often does) at this year's Spike Video Game Awards on stage presenting an award. You may know Steve-O from the popular MTV show, Jackass. Without further ado, peep the pointless, but hilarous after the jump.
