BrainBank: What a Waste of Money Edition

So this is a terrible, terrible idea. The University of Florida are spending about half a million dollars developing a motion capture game aimed at tween girls. This is supposed to help girls practice rejecting pressure from guys, which is an admirable goal. However, this is just not going to work for so many reasons.

First of all, in order to play girls need to don an awkward motion capture suit. Secondly, and more importantly, for all of that half a million dollar budget the boys look more like horrific marionette demons from hell.

Well, I guess it's still not finished, so there's time enough to at least improve the models.

... I still don't see how this is supposed to help.
