August 17, 2005:

Young girls, ten, eleven, standing before a large screen TV in the electronics store. Beneath their feet a rubber mat with symbols of feet. On the screen: an interactive dance instruction program. As they throw their arms up, vamping like video girls, the program tells them, "Yes! That's right! Excellent!"

First time I laughed all day.
