I see 2 things wrong.
1) One would think they realize the danger of texting and driving is bad.
2) Mario kart? really? GT5 with the G25 is a better simulation but I guess they can't afford such equipment.

Mario Kart teaches you how not to drive - yes, you shouldn't fire turtles at other cars.

Mario Kart Arcade was licensed to Namco, which put Pac-Man in the game.

That they didn't realise they were teaching them how to properly drive on a RACING game.
