Eh. Kids with epilepsy know not to play video games or watch anime. This warning comes with every game.

Also, for Christ's sake, close your bold tag. You've made the entire Slog page "emboldened."

I'm, like, totally confused. Since the "patterns may trigger seizures with NO [emphasis added] prior history," why doesn't the warning advise all users to consult a doctor before using the product?

I wonder if any local doctors specialize in treating people who are desperately seeking to groove on singing along with High School the Musical karaoke.

I inflicted the same horror on my sis-in-law by buying this for her 13 year old daughter. MUAH HA HA!
It's been a war between my wife and her sister for over 10 years, each buying the other's kids a really obnoxious toy. My daughter got a painting set from her this year, but it all started when my wife got her then 3 year old niece a xylophone.

Internet notoriety

Romero became a FARK cliché in October 2005 after his article effusing about the phenomenon of blogging was posted to KABC's site, several years after blogs became widely popular.[2][3] Romero's name is usually attached to an article where he reports the obvious.

My little sister got Guitar Hero(es?) III for Christmas, so we spent significant time busting out the fake power chords. No seizures were had.
