From timesonline.co.uk:

The government’s new health campaign suggests that video games are causing inactivity and obesity among young Britons.

Representatives of the British game industry reacted with outrage on Monday when the latest video in the government’s Change 4 Life healthy living campaign featured a young boy on the sofa playing with a games controller, below the caption “Risk an early death, just do nothing.”

“This sort of campaign just reinforces the worst stereotype of the games industry,” a spokesman for Sony told The Times. “It feels like, once again, the video games industry is being made to carry the can for society’s ills.”
