What is Bush's Brain Age

2nd Opp · 07-06-2006, 06:07 AM

President Bush, Nintendo is looking out for you. As an early birthday gift, the Big N sent the current President of the United States a package containing a shiny new DS Lite bundled together with cerebral hit Brain Age. This perky note was included:

"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"

Yes, it is likely this stunt is moreso a marketing ploy designed to draw the attention of potential new American portable gamers than a kind-hearted gesture towards the President's mental preservation. It may very well prove to be brilliant if the President holds up the device in front of the media hordes even once. Still...anyone want to take a guess at President Bush's brain age?

I'm guessing his brain age is the same as his regular age: 60.

Asking about Bush's brain age is a cheap shot waiting to happen.

Anyways, yeah, this is a publicity stunt. It's unlikely that a huge, multinational corporation has feelings.

^You clearly have never used a grapefruit spoon.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
