Microsoft and its crack ad team have come up with a really bad commercial that touches on the increase in attention deficit disorder and what parents can do to “entertain their children.” I am fairly certain that for most parents (especially parents enrolled at Better Parenting University), entertaining your child with a pretty woman dancing in a lab coat and two guy doing goofy dances and hand moves is not the answer for child friendly entertainment. And if your child does have ADD / ADHD, I am fairly certain, you do not find the commercial particularly amusing.

Of course, maybe that’s the point…these aren’t good forms of entertainment, but the Xbox is a good choice to keep kids entertained? I am not so sure about that either. Certainly video games are one choice for entertainment, but children will ultimate place a much higher value on the time you spend with your child vs. an Xbox.
