At the Franklin Mills Mall, drop the kids off at the Army Experience Center while you do your last minute holiday shopping. They’re in good hands!
Be sure to come by Tuesday for the Rainbow Six Vegas 2v2 Tournament!
From Alternet:
The Army Experience Center, located in the Franklin Mills Mall just north of Philadelphia, bills itself as a “state-of-the-art educational facility that uses interactive simulations and online learning programs to educate visitors about the many careers, training and educational opportunities available in the Army.”
Nonsense. The only thing they’re teaching here is how to blow shit up. If it’s state-of-the-art anything, it’s state-of-the-art adolescent boys’ wet dreams.

Having grown up in Phila, I’ve been to this mall many a time. And I am really not surprised that people from around there are turning out to go to this. Do you think people in CT would be into something like this too or am I just being too hard on my hometown?
what kid wouldn’t want to act out a video game? Hell, I would! In fact, this type of full body game interaction is probably where the industry is going. But, these types of games are designed for adults, not kids. Most have M (Mature) ratings, yet kids are playing them all over the place. Add the Army’s manipulative tactics and you’ve got a Petri dish of impressionability. The army sucks.
