Christian Group Prepares To Mark Wii as 'Porn Portal'

Citing the Wii's ability to browse the internet via the Opera browser, a Christian group based out of California is planning on targeting the console with a smear campaign, Kotaku reports. The site has gotten ahold of a leaked press release from the upcoming 'Porn Talk' media event. From the release: "Like many new gaming technologies, the Wii's wireless internet capabilities make it a portal to porno. 'Parents think the computer is the only way for their kids to get porn on the internet. Unfortunately, they are dead wrong,' says Mike Foster, founder of ThePornTalk.com. 'Gaming devices like the Wii and the PSP aren't just for fun games anymore. You're able to surf the net, chat with friends, email, and view porn because of its internet access. Kids know this but parents don't!'"

    This makes me more inclined to buy a Wii. I usually do not like console games, but if I can look up porn while getting exercises while angering a Christan group, I do believe it is worth it.

    I don't see why the Wii gets so much innuendo compared to the other consoles.

    "Playstation 3" sounds like a deep space brothel.

    "X-Box 360" sounds like getting gang-raped by guys who ejaculate Mountain Dew.

    Come on, people.

    I'm sorry but you are not a Christian.

    A true Christian would know that every word of the bible is literal, the way God wrote it through his people. He didn't want misunderstandings and so he ensured that every word said exactly what it meant.

    Those who choose to consider certain portions figuratively are simply trying to obfuscate the true meaning of God's word. True Christians are always on the lookout for this type of adulteration of the word... it is a terrible sin--without repentance you will certainly never know God.

    Goatse is only really bad because we are conditioned as a society to think it is bad. Kids have very little of that conditioning yet. They usually only apply context to things via the reactions of the ADULTS around them.

Anything with animals, an exit door, or with the wrong sex is not going to replenish the earth. The meek shall inherit the earth.
