The University of Central Florida has invested $434,000 in federal tax dollars to develop a video game designed to educate preteen girls about how to deal with peer pressure to have sex. The game works by using simulation and digital puppetry, and players will have the chance to interact with avatars and earn points for making responsible decisions.
But don’t video games already prevent people from getting laid?
Your First Day On The Job
You get introduced to the same people five times and you still can’t remember anyone’s name, then you’re seated at a desk and given nothing to do, so you spend the afternoon straightening out your piles of Post-It notes and grinning like an idiot at your busy new colleagues who keep whizzing by your desk, wondering, “Who is this schmuck?” If I wanted to sit around all day surfing the Web and refreshing my e-mail, I would have stayed unemployed.
