Parents amazed the Internet has porn...
(old news - 03:17PM Wednesday Jan 10 2007)
tags: gaming · Oddities
A local Texas news station is warning parents that a broadband-connected Nintendo Wii can be a "porn gateway." "It's very upsetting something this popular—a kid game—can go that direction so quickly," says one parent. Some adult websites have tailored their content to be viewable on the Wii Opera browser, which apparently has some parents up in arms.

Of course, the reporter fails to mention how the parental controls allow parents to either disable browsing completely or restrict which "channels" kids can browse. They also apparently didn't know the porn industry is adapting to the Wii because the console is used by adults, who have every right to view boobies in between bouts of Zelda. "We need to keep them protected from people who want to invade a fun game like the Wii," proclaims one parent. Indeed.

lol, I can see all the adult themed games some developers could make w/ the wiimote.

2 off the top of my head would be a masturbation game where you need to practice your stamina and the second would involve a finger and an orifice. hahaha

Now that would make stupid parents go crazy.

you aren't very bright are you... hmmm, let's see when you have a child, hopefully a daughter and someone starts to tantalize her with the sexual goodies the net or real life has to offer because porn is being pushed across something you thought was 'unpornable' and then we will see who calls you a stupid parent... i can only assume that right now you aren't a stupid parent, but just stupid...

Lighten up buddy. You think any parent wants their children viewing porn? Of course not. Who cares if porn sites or any other type of site you deem bad is available. Use the built in controls to prevent your children from viewing them.

But wait that would be the smart thing to do if they were really into protecting their children. Why do they bother to pretend to care when they know absolutely nothing about a product they buy.

And you call him stupid? Where did Nintendo state that porn could not be accessed on the Wii? It's only a portal. What's stupid is when people like you wear rose colored glasses thinking that the world wide web is a safe place and like to point the finger at the box for "corrupting" your kids. As much of a joke that WZ tried to make, it's more of strong possibility you will see something like what he said on ANY gaming system. Stupid, no. Realistic.

What an idiot. There is no mysterious 'they' or 'them' lurking behind the TV screen somewhere, just waiting for your daughter to start playing Wii Sports and then, *poof* porn and candy to, quote "tantalize her."

If your daughter is looking for porn using the Wii it's because she went ACTIVELY looking for it. She learned about it from somewhere (that means you have poor control over the influences in your child's life) and she used the Wii without parental controls, or unlocked them (meaning that you are either an idiot for not using the parental features or your child is smarter than you and does not respect you). Regardless, your arguments are spurious and a clear indicator that you lack basic reasoning and critical thinking skills. But this is a free country so feel free to continue pounding on the keyboard with knee-jerk reactions to light-hearted comments.

Classic Clinton line from the 90s. Look at Madam Speaker with her acceptance speech last week; final words: "For all of America's children, the House will be in order."
Always politicians use it as if the other side somehow is against the children. Just like you can't say anything against the teachers' union because it's an attack on education or you can't say anything against further lowering blood alcohol limits because you're for drunk driving.

I'm so tired of hearing people use this excuse (except in the Simpsons, of course).

In my last house there was a homeowner's association (yuk!!) and I was trying to get the rules changed so you could park a motorhome in the driveway for a couple of days a month to make it easier to get ready for a long trip. One of the neighborhood moms stood up and said, "What about the children? They may get hurt playing around a motorhome." I told to her to sit down and shut-up if she didn't have anything useful to add...but my recommendation was voted down by all the angry moms trying to protect their brats.

So you think it's reasonable that someone should allow their kids to play around someone else's motorhome in someone else's driveway? It's obvious she was just using "the children" as an excuse to get the recommendation voted down because she didn't want to see a big motorhome in someone's driveway for three days in a year.

Interesting.

I'm willing to bet $200 that within the next year many of these porno sites tailored for the Wii Opera browser will be able to control the vibration on the Wii-Remote. Then all the ladies out there can purchase some sort of official nintendo silicon sleeve that fits over the remote. To uh.. Yeah.

As for the original topic, these are probally the same people that said pedophiles can molest your kid using the DS.

Nintendo bashing

It seems that there is always Nintendo bashing. First the wii remote will destroy your TV, guaranteed. Now it will suck your kid into porn ala Poltergeist. There are parental controls, and you have to enter in your password before you search, but after that it is open game. Keep in mind this is the trial version, I would assume that the final version would have some type of content control.

Now you have to question when your son tells you he is playing with his Wii of which one?

Next up:

Bleatings regarding Child Porn and Wii. You just know they are coming(so to speak...).

I have a relative(by marriage) who has raised her son with game consoles. So she can continue her self-actualizing existence, the kid has gotten one of every game console known to man, and she regularly drops off the newest titles on his bed.

Cheaper than a babysitter, easier than actually taking a parental role in the child's life. No matter that the kid evinces issues at every turn. No life compromises for that woman. The kid just stares blankly into a TV screen and occasionally drools a bit. Sometimes, he dreams of a career possibility: professional skateboarder.

Sheesh.

Perhaps if parents took a more active role in a child's life, and stopped treating technology as a way to divest themselves from their bothersome little buggers, none of this would be an issue? Ya' think?

Oh, as for that Texas News Station: You lazy, demogoguing bastards. You have the journalistic IQ of an ice cube.

Stupid

This was from a TV station local to me. I cringed when I saw the promo talking about this segment the other day. The truth is, if you are a parent who is willing to provide broadband access to your child, it's your job to monitor your child's usage, on the computer, on the Wii, on the PS3, or any other connected device for that matter. Chalk this story up to lack of useful local news that day.

Think about PARENTAL CONTROL!!

The Wii has parental controls, people. If you don't want your kid playing inappropriate games or viewing porn online, than set parental controls.
Sure, the way the Wii is used may look like you need to jerk-off with the Wiimote to do something on a game, and when parents think their kids are becoming sexually active playing their new Wii, but truth be told, a parent has more influence in a kid's life! It's just that many of todays parents smoke crack, don't supervise their kids, and don't set a good influence, pretty soon, before we all know it, today's kids do the same thing! Sure, the media may have a lot to do with it, but the parent can stop the kid. Don't let your kid be exposed to every single pop-star whore, or rappers that make kids think that drugs are cool.
Take these steps, people, especially parents:

DON'T try to get new video game laws going, because it deprives other people of their rights! It's a free country. Just because one person's pissy doesn't mean they have to make a stupid new law. I think America could learn a lot from me .
DON'T always blame the media for the way your kid acts. You have more influence.
DON'T blame the way the Wii works! Besides, why would Nintendo let a porn game or any game that stimulates sexual activity on to their system? They're as sex-savvy as a clergy member! Keep in mind that the ones who ARE putting the porn games on are the X-box 360 and the PS3
DO realize that the internet is like an infinite encyclopedia. Anything can be found online. And of course the internet has porn! Don't be stupid, parents!
DO keep a good influence one your kid's life, or the next generation will be filled with even more crack whores and high school wastoids than ever before. Would you want that?
