to think that Nintendo are a bit out of order getting primary school teachers to advertise for them?

This is my first ever AIBU so a bit nervous, please be gentle!

But is it not a bit weird? I don't really have any strong feelings about Nintendo DSs per se - I have no particular problem with kids having them. I don't much like it when I see really little kids with them, or kids in restaurants, or friends of my DCs glued to them when we have gone to their house to play, but generally I think they look like fun.

This new ad, though, where the junior school teacher takes them into class and talks about what a great educational tool they are - really? I know DSs have some great learning programmes on them, but something about that ad doesn't sit right with me, I don't know why.

Isn't it similar to tutoring services bribing schools to send letters home to parents suggesting that parents might wish to consider using the services? Schools get a kick back from every response received.
