Inappropriate Kids Games

I was playing some games with my nephews the other day and couldn't help but realize that many of these child friendly games teach some fairly negative life lessons, for example:

-Hungry, Hungry Hippos: promotes childhood obesity
-Operation: encourages inappropriate touching
-Guess Who: teaches our youth how to racially profile and stereotype. "Is your person black , with big lips?"
-Candy-Land: creates a sugar dependency and addiction to high trans-fatty foods
-Jenga: produces over anxiety and panic disorders
-Monopoly: how to buy things you can't afford and hope for an Obama bailout
