Wait a minute, does the Wii have some mysterious 666 markings on it anywhere? I can't recall every seeing any before. Was the Wii referenced in the Bible as causing the end of the world? So why is one religious group up in arms and readying a campaign against the Wii - because you might be able to surf on the Internet and find porn. Might as well try to bring down all computers while you are at it.

From the ariticle:

Get ready for this. Are you sitting down?
It's possible to access porn over your Wii's Internet browser.

Shocking? Reprehensible? A danger to the virgin minds of youth everywhere? Mike Foster from The Porn Talk sure thinks so. In fact, his organization is so shocked and appalled at the Wii's potential for vice dispensation, it is mounting a smear campaign against the innocuous little machine.

Kotaku broke this news earlier today, with the revelation of a leaked press release purportedly forwarded by an anonymous mole dwelling inside The Porn Talk's alabaster halls. For double creepiness points, also check out the website of The Man Behind the Plan, aka Ethur -- a secretive, faith-based Christian ministry that operates out of California.

The press release in question is full of pretty awesome stuff, not the least of which is its high-larious title: "The Wiittle Porn Problem For Nintendo's Best Selling Game Console". You can read the whole thing here, but here's some selected highlights:

"Parents think the computer is the only way for their kids to get porn on the internet. Unfortunately, they are dead wrong [...] 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!"

Wireless internet (Wi-Fi) technology allows electronic devices like Nintendo's Wii to wirelessly connect to the internet. Airports, Starbucks, schools, and even entire cities give people the opportunity to log on the internet with a Wi-Fi device like the Wii or even Sony's PSP. This makes it very difficult to monitor as a parent. You can easily put safeguards in your house but it's impossible to monitor in a Wi-Fi world [...] Even though the Nintendo Wii has parental controls, parents don't see a need for them because they are unaware of the porn capabilities."
