I hate dumbasses.
Abc news thinks that the DS can be used to molest people. yeah, some guy drew my penis and then drew his hand touching my penis and I got scared. Even though he was standing 65 feet away from me and I knew him. I was pictomolested!
Retarded is such an ugly word. I prefer to think of them as moronic baboons.
Because you can obviously use pictochat online!

I'm still confused to why they would use the DS of all of them?
Well, what did you think of when you first heard the DS slogan?
Heh.
omg, teh sony and microsoft paid themz! but yeah, they menteiond at the end "oh by the way, some other handheld systems, and such can be sort of dangerous too. At least, dangerous in this extremely sensitive world."

Make sure you click COMPLAINT and not COMPLIMENT, which is also in all caps and starts with a c, ending in a t with an L in the middle and is right below complaints.
is it me or do the media decide to attempt to make themselves look like comple twats on a daily basis due to attempted scaremongering?
a child can be at risk anywhere these days and it's not just limited to the internet, theres paedophiles in schools and in churches.... this woman and her daughter are obviously idiots and deserve being pelted with used snotty tissues....

LET'S BAN THE INTERNET BECAUSE THERE'S STRANGERS ON IT
But no, that's stupid. Not to mention the wireless span on Pictochat is faulty. It barely goes 30 feet, not including walls and obstacles. If that really did happen, this "predator" could easily find her.
..But of course Nintendo gets this kind of alarm. It's a kid's toy, right? :shake:
DON'T GO OUTSIDE SON! THAR'S STRANGERS OUT THAR!!!1shift+1
The idiocy of parents and the like baffle me.

Such is the American way.
are you all going to rape me? *pinocchi*:amy:
But (until the browser) the DS shouldn't be considered harmful to children at all.
what happened to old fasion doodleing on your hand or a napkin?
The browser won't add any more functionality, other than forum support. Not only that, but Nintendo exclaim in giant letters in the DS manual, and in any game that involves communication, that YOUR CHILD SHOULD BE SUPERVISED WHEN COMMUNICATING WITH PEOPLE AS THOSE PEOPLE COULD BE RAPISTS IN DISGUISE, when really the most threatening thing they can do is leave swear words on your noticeboard in ACWW.
Not only that, but I bet you the Opera browser comes with an age rating.
