phonics for (ADHD) kids

Trinity loves playing games on the computer. She is so good at them, too. Well, Gregory bought this seemingly cute , educational game for Cin-cin to play. It is called 'Phonics for Kids' and is for ages 3-8. It is the most bizarre (not to mention difficult) computer game for 3 year olds I have ever seen. It starts off fairly innocent, then it just gets...weird.I can just imagine the guys who developed this game.
Jim: "So... we've got a cuddly little raccoon, that collects letters and fruit in a maze."
Bob: "Whoa, Jim! What are you, some sort of sissy? Ya gotta add a few ADHD dinosaurs in there, too. Jeez."
Jim: "Oh, man, that would be so cool. And the dinos EAT the raccoon!"
Bob: "Yeah, ha ha ha ...totally."
Jim: "Ha Ha. What do you think about adding a mental case skinny dude in a cape with a sawed off shot-gun that just randomly pops up and shoots the Raccoon in the face?"
Bob: "Awesome! ha ha ha."
Jim: "What should we call this crazy- insane game?"
Bob: "um....Phonics for Kids."
Jim: "Perfect!"
Bob & Jim together: "ha ha ha ha ha ha ..."

I had to get a picture to show just how insane this game is. Look at that creepy guy! Purple tights? A cape? Really? Splotches of blood around the raccoon's head? This is so wrong. I can't stop laughing about it though.
