A member of the Kansas City Dance Dance Revolution club — which was profiled in this rather dark tale of a guy who steals to support his DDR habit — responds:
I am the site admin of DDRKC.com. The author of this article approached us a few months ago claiming to want to write a positive publicity piece about the Kansas City local area Dance Dance Revolution scene. They interviewed a number of us, who all spoke about the comraderie and positive aspects of having a virtual community based around DDR. If you read the article, you will note that NONE of this information was used. Instead, they decided to focus on the personal exploits of a single person who was doing stupid and illegal activities. What that has to do with DDR, I have no idea. It's like creating an expose on how bloggers are evil and engaged in illegal activities just because one of them decided to go shoplift something. It completely misrepresents for only DDR as a whole, but DDRKC and the local players as well. Here is a link to the community reaction to the article.
