Around the water cooler, people may ask, “If you could dine with anyone famous, who it would be?” But for teens and tweens, dinner would likely be replaced with a heated match of Wii tennis or a fast-paced game of Mario Kart with a favorite celebrity. A recent survey of more than 1,000 8-17-year-olds by national video game retailer, Game Crazy reveals that the superstars teens and tweens would most like to compete against are President Obama, who received nearly one in five votes, the Jonas Brothers, Tom Brady and Miley Cyrus.
