"Pop the Pig" promotes preschooler fatism

Wow.

According to developer Goliath games,

"Everyone takes turns to roll the die to see how many chomps the pig will take. Push down the pig's head to chomp the burger. With every pump, the pig's stomach will get bigger, bigger, and bigger. But don't feed him too much because if he pops, you lose!"
Because everyone knows that people are fat because they're pigs and they eat too much, and if your kids didn't think that before, they do now.



Want one? You'll have to find it yourself as I'm purposely not linking to Goliath Game's website - wouldn't want them to benefit from my Google juice.
