i dont think the neilson ratings company is federally funded, the networks pay for it...but i get your point
The company is part of the Nielsen Company, formerly known as VNU and owned by a consortium of private equity firms including Blackstone Group, KKR and Carlyle Group. Its production operations are located in its Brooker Creek Global Technology and Information Center in Oldsmar, Florida.

The NHS has suddenly become worse again...

That would of be a real shambles if it is publicly funded.

Or if your a die hard WOW fan who is french 28 hours non stop, have a 20 minute break then a further 28 hours.
Its like saying 'Kids like candy!'
10 hours a week? i've done 10 hours a day
does that mean im an intense gamer? because I never pictured myself as one
it means we are all uber gamers, its almost like being magic but without the gay wands and spells and stuff....
Betcha he googled all of that. And failed. Sometimes I can spend almost 10 hours A DAY playing games. XD And who says most gamers are still playing on the PS2? Well, Apparently he does. But that doesn't sound right.
probably because of the sheer numbers of PS2s (40 million plus) out there, and not as many have purchased the next gen systems

I don't want them researching my video games, even if it's just to tell me "peeple eet fuude!"

That's not something I'd brag about.
