This is the funniest thing I have seen in awhile. They get some facts right, but they happen to fail to mention that you child has to initiate Picto Chat for it to work. Sure, they tell you how to open it, but they make it sound like the chat is on at all times. Worth a good laugh. And it does a great job of showing that the DS has awesome range in terms of wireless communication.

That's just ridiculous.

[Mirage]

Lol blowing things out of proportions.

[Aybabtu]

That makes me very angry listening to that. Not just this report by itself but the whole anti-gaming media etc, this is just another way of reaching that goal imo;-/


On a note, thats pretty cool range on my DS, i never knew that ^_^

That comic is just great tho Sums up a lot of my other thoughts

[ljkkjlcm9]

this is like the report that kids will be looking for porn on the Wii. Seriously wtf. I don't know anyone that logs into pictochat, unless they already know someone they're going to talk to on it at the time. Sigh, just trying to scare everyone about everything.

The ignorance astounds me.

[NeoCracker]

Here I was, thinking I had no Faith in Humanity. After this, I realized that I did, and it was just so minute I couldn't see it anymore. However, I believe this just killed it.

Molesters probably wouldn't have thought about using the DS until now

[XxSephirothxX]

God, I love Penny Arcade.

As for the actual issue: lol.

[I Took the Red Pill]

I loved the part where it was talking about the possibility of a molester driving, seeing your kid the backseat of a car with a DS, and subsequently sending them messages. Fox is classic.

[Shoeberto]

Man, I've never seen a local news channel put on a story filled with irrational sensationalism for the sake of attracting the attention of mindless idiots who don't know any better before. Wait OH SHI -

[Aqua Mage]

...eh.

The comic was funny though.

[KentaRawr!]

Well, at least they were more informed than with the Wii Porn. o_o In fact, this actually seems to be something parents SHOULD consider, since, as TrowaBartonIV said, molesters probably haven't thought about it until now. On the other hand, I think such a thing would happen very, VERY rarely, as the child has to not only be in pictochat, but said molester must be able to see that low in the car-door window to know that the child is pictochatting. To use pictochat, it usually has to be planned to actually get in contact with the person you want.

...

I wonder if the fat DS can go 300 feet in Pictochat. O_O

[No.78]

He's naked

[crono_logical]

Would pictochatting whilst driving be an equivalent offence to using a mobile phone whilst driving?
