ARTICLE:

It's unclear if this is an elaborate hoax or not, but the whole thing is so funny that it deserves to be posted. Check out the writer's summary of Donkey Kong, it's classic:

The B4B tipline recently received information about this gaming device and its devious and virtually unknown (by parents) backdoor giving child predators access to millions of children. Don’t let your child be a victim. Slam the backdoor shut by refusing to put this dangerous device on your Christmas list this year.

…It’s undeniable that it has been a “success” for its Japanese manufacturer, Nintendo (makers of Donkey Kong aka Monkey Donkey, a game in which a monkey kidnaps a young girl to satisfy his bestial desires). It’s also been a tremendous success for pedophiles everywhere… it can easily be used by child predators and molesters to get access to your children…

But if you already have a Japanese Nintendo DS in your home, the time to act is now. Snap it in half like Jill (not her real name) did and excise it from your child’s life. She deftly ripped the offending device out of her [daughter’s] hands, sent the reply “stay away from my baby, you psycho” and triumphantly snapped the unit in half… Nintendo TP (two pieces).

I don't know much about Brownback, but his anti-videogame stance makes this post all the more believable. Its applause of Jack Thompson as a videogames 'expert' is brilliant, no matter the sincerity. What do you think though? Well researched hoax or unresearched sensationalism? Let us know.

OPINION:

I hate Fox news for a number of things. Harassing democrats, glorifying the Iraqi war, brainwashing viewers, and now this. Its total crap like usual, not surprisingly. It must be a very slow day for them to air something as desperate as this. Poor Fox.

Might as well attack the internet as well, if thier gonna attack Pictochat.

did you even read the article? Fox is questioning the women and the Christian presidential candidate's actions and if this stunt is even real.

What the f....?!

our world is slowly being taken over by a lack of common sense...its so sad

You have got be kidding me. Thats just ridiculous.

lol PlayStation Pornable - that blog is really funny and ofcourse it's only sarcastic and in no way meant like it was written

*sigh* such a shame ,that sarcasm on the internet often is misunderstood

Sarcasm is usually warranted though, this is completely out of blue.

FYI -- Sen. Brownback is withdrawing from the presidential race today.

At least that is one less person to worry about.

(And I wonder what he thinks about the churches using Halo 3 to draw youth).

Mike from Morgantown

And people wonder why Nintendo insists on Friend Codes ...

A 13 year old gets molested by getting in contact with a predator he meets while playing Gears of War and people will ask "Why was a 13 year old playing Gears of War?"

A 13 year old gets molested and happens to own a Nintendo DS and people will ask "Please, won't someone think of the children?"

lol, Happy Squirrel!! fantastic humor!!! lol
