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

I tip my hat to the marketing boyz of Nintendo of America.

Maybe I'll get me a copy of Brain Age.

If I'm a Republican can I make a joke about the irony of Nintendo sending Bush that game and not some other much easier game like Super Mario. I can see him now..."Dang this game is hard...." "Mr. President, it's not turned on..."

Republicans can do what they feel!

Honestly I just thought it was funny because they sent a video game to the Prez...just like that. (I don't think they'd risk alienating half the country by making a joke out of it, although it can be taken that way too.)

Can anyone honestly see the President sitting around in his spare time playing a DS? Now that'd be a Kodak moment....

*Raven* · 07-08-2006, 03:02 PM

Thats great that they gave him that, but would he actually use it? Hell would even know how to use it...

Yeah, he's too busy helping Telco's take away the interent from us, rather than sit down and play a video game. Those things will rot your mind ya' know.

I perfer to think of this is the joke way, even though he probobly couldn't even turn the damned thing on.
