For all the Stepmania fans out there who’ve been dying to use an actual pad to dance to “Bitches”, “Let Mom Sleep”, and “Dan’s Theme” but didn’t want to shell out the $40 for a Playstation pad + Playstation-to-USB converter, or the $80+ for a really nice USB RedOctane pad, your salvation has come from the strangest of places. Kraft (yes, that Kraft), in an effort to “do their part” to battle the childhood obesity “epidemic”, is selling “free” (+$9.99 s/h) USB dance pads right here (that’s a lot of quotes). Of course, you get what you pay for, so expect these pads to be rather cheesy (GET IT???? KRAFT!!! CHEESY!!!! LAUGH, GODDAMMIT!!!), but it’ll certainly help you burn calories a lot faster than using the arrow keys on your keyboard. Better hurry, though; the offer expires at the end of the month.

One can only hope that the pack-in game measures the amount of exercise you’ve gotten in American cheese slices.
