NINTENDO: THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA

A. Isaac Senior Editor

On Christmas day 1987, I received the original Nintendo system. I was a highly intelligent child at the time, well ahead of my peers in elementary school. Teachers commented to my parents that maybe I was a genius of some sorts and that I should be tested.

Thankfully for me, the tests weren’t until school came back after Christmas break.

By the time the test rolled around, I had played so much Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt, that I was borderline retarded.

Essentially, Nintendo saved me from being an ultimate dweeb that would have ended up at MIT or something.

Instead I have a blog about sports and chicks.

Ah, the life I tell you.
