Nintendo DS Hurts The Children!

Posted by Zonk on from the hilarious-reporting-in-action dept.

GameSetWatch has a humorous lampoon of an ABC-6 Action News report on the dangers your child can face in the seedy world of Mario Kart. From the article: "We've been struggling in trying to figure out how kids can be 'lured into dangerous chat rooms' while using the Nintendo DS, considering that the DS's chat program, PictoChat, can not be used over the internet, and also keeping in mind that the only way to interact with a living being over the internet through your Nintendo DS is to do so through a game that supports Nintendo WiFi Connection, all of which require both parties to input 'friend codes' before they can play with each other."

    Where's the big foot icon for this post? I mean, reading the article, it's obvious it's a parody.

    Do the editors not edit or something? ... Oh, wait...
