Alternative Educational Company Blasts Off With Whopping Wisdom for Kids!"
A Fun Alternative to Teaching Children Morals and Values by Moving Education from the Head to the Heart!

January 2003: Valparaiso, IN: Ms. Cindi Blandford and Mr. Ray Shingler, Founders and Creators of Vibrating Virtues, Inc.," an alternative educational company, announced today their groundbreaking series of software games, board games and stories for kids. Exploding with volcanic values and blasting with whopping wisdom, Vibrating Virtues takes a fresh, hip look at old-fashioned morals and values by incorporating standards and ethics into games. Using cutting edge technology, the creative team brings together important values in such a way as to make learning an exciting and enjoyable experience for youngsters of all ages.

Offering practical options for children to apply in regard to discrimination, hatred and anger, the whimsical activities, lovable characters and pop music created by the established Rock, R&B and Hip-Hop music producer John Carpenter, empower youngsters with inner strength, self-esteem and coping skills. Cleverly shaking things up by addressing sensitive issues that involve prejudice, social dilemmas and tough predicaments, Vibrating Virtues hits the mark through tongue twisting story lines, Hip-Hop music and potent strategies. Identifying and tackling bullying and aggressive behavior, Vibrating Virtues packs a powerful punch by way of colorful fantasies, breathtaking graphics, and precocious mega-morals.

In a world where values and morals are hard to instill, Vibrating Virtues goes far beyond the three Rs, teaching kids valuable lessons via characters they can interact with and relate to comfortably. The primary adventure of Penelope & Pigstons Purple Predicament evolves as diverse ethnic, religious and social situations are portrayed that pique the interest of girls and boys. Choosing from three different endings, youngsters have the opportunity to interact with the story line by selecting a conclusion of choice and witnessing the consequences of their decisions. Ms. Blandford, the originator and creative force of Penelope and Pigstons Purple Predicament had this to say: I began telling these stories to my kids when they were tiny tots and they never tired of hearing them. Twenty years later we have turned these stories into interactive games, focusing on an enchanted purple kingdom where a surreal castle and magical garden awaits. Children are delighted by the unique tongue twisters which help them quickly learn that things are not always as they appear. Confronting discrimination, prejudice and even anger, the Vibrating Virtues series helps teach children responsibility as well as anger management in a fun, easily accepted manner. Its so much fun that children dont even realize theyve learned something along the purple paved patio pathways."

Ray Shingler, award winning interactive designer and co-founder stated, The moment I saw the story line I knew I wanted to be involved with Ms Blandford in the producing of these special games. As an interactive engineer, it has been my goal to create a mystical 3D purple kingdom occupied by outrageous characters that would help youngsters confront and resolve tough social issues in an entertaining way. We believe our product does that and more and were very excited to be in the forefront of this creative endeavor. The potential of this learning device is staggering as we anticipate it becoming a powerful addition to the parenting and teaching community."
