Glad I am not this guy's kid

[~~whimsy~~]

In a recent interview with the New York Times, the U.S. secretary of education touted his own TV-less upbringing before unloading the chicken-dinner applause line that he's "not a fan" and "absolutely" wouldn't get his kids an "Xbox."

Arne Duncan said this despite answering that "every student needs access to technology," when asked if they need a computer. "I think technology can be a hugely important vehicle to help level the playing field."

Duncan, a father of boys ages 6 and 8, was asked what he'd do if they asked him "to buy them an Xbox."

"Not a fan. No, absolutely not," he replied.

Though Duncan and his equally uninformed questioner clearly meant "games console," and not specifically an Xbox or Xbox 360, I think it's legitimate to ponder his response had the reporter asked him if his kids wanted a Wii.

So when his kids fuck up in 10 years, he'll have only himself to blame

there are alot of people like him

it can also be political cause he is promoting and taking the backing of some video game hating parents and other people

i wouldn't be surprised if he says this to the people but goes home and plays xbox with his kids
