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!'"

Surely targeting one device is confusing the issue?

I think it's a fair point to raise, that parents might not be aware that their kids can use their Wii to get at porn sites on the internet. It all comes down to the old argument of parents accepting responsibility for properly supervising their children again though, same as with any other anti-gaming statement.

This was one of the first things I tried when they released the browser. It works.

Either that or the daft fuckers use the numerous parental controls available on the Wii...
