Bush primeşte cadou un Nintendo DS şi jocul Brain Age

Nu mă prea dau eu în vânt după politică (decât dacă e vorba despre politicieni inapţi care se iau de jocurile video), dar când "Nintendo" şi "preşedintele Bush" se nimeresc în acelaşi titlu, înseamnă că e ceva tare putred la mijloc! Sau cel puţin amuzant, cum e cazul de faţă. Nu prea îndrăgitul preşedinte american George W. Bush a împlinit 60 ani săptămâna aceasta, şi se pare că cei de la Nintendo au văzut în asta o ocazie minunată să facă iar pe nebunii.

S-au sfătuit ei ce s-au sfătuit, şi în final i-au trimis preşedintelui Bush ca-cadou o consolă handheld Nintendo DS Lite şi jocul Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day, alăturând şi o scrisoare nu tocmai subtilă cu trimitere la intelectul "sublim" al preşedintelui. Se ştie deja despre pasiunea lui Bush pentru iPod-ul său, dar dacă-l duce mintea să citească printre rânduri (deşi nu cred că-i pericol), tare mă îndoiesc că va deveni un fan Nintendo după faza asta.

Vezi mai jos scrisoarea completă.

"Dear President Bush:

Happy Birthday!

Don't worry, turning 60 is an exciting milestone. As you know, you've joined millions of other baby boomers in an invigorating new decade of your life. And, like many boomers, you may be looking for ways to keep your mind sharp. That's where we come in.

Please accept our gift of a new Nintendo DS Lite system and a copy of Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day. You now join millions of people around the world who have fun challenging themselves with Brain Age. If you have never played a video game before, don't worry. Brain Age is part of our new Touch Generations brand, which includes games that are easy for people of any age - regardless of their video game experience - to pick up and start playing immediately.

It's obvious you don't have a lot of time to play games, which makes Brain Age such a great activity for you - just a few minutes a day with more than 15 daily training tests will help keep your mind sharp. Training tests include categories like math, reading and memorization. Try it for a few days and watch your score improve. Brain Age also comes with more than 100 sudoku puzzles - these could make your next long flight on Air Force One a bit more fun! (Perhaps copies of Brain Age for journalists joining you on your next flight would be a nice distraction!)

Have fun exploring Brain Age with your Nintendo DS Lite and be sure to let us know your brain age!

Have a tremendous birthday!

Sincerely,

Your Friends at Nintendo"
