Re: truth is more scary
The reason why "1000 miles away over the Internet" is scarier than the "direct connect within 30-100 feet" is that it extends the reach of the pedophile. Joe Pedophile can harm a lot more children over 1,000 miles via the Internet than he can by trying to get within 30-100 feet of a child who happens to have a DS running Pictochat.
The "pedophiles are using Nintendo's DS to harm children" story was hyped up by the "news organization" (using the term loosely) while ignoring expert evidence that it just wasn't possible the way they were describing it. Can't let facts get in the way of a good story, now, can we?
