The dangers (?!) of Wii and PS3 pornography |
Ó
Apparently, whenever there's a fear of pornography in the headlines, someone's going to write about the dangers of it. This time is no exception as the Wii and the PS3 are seen as a potential place for the young ones to view naked people practicing their love.WFAA.com notes how the Wii and the PlayStation 3 can access the internet. Shelly Slater asserts, "But because the Wii, the PS3, and other game consoles have Internet access, it's easy for kids to access porn." To make matters worse, this has been helped along by some industrious coders in the pornography business, as some porn sites are now optimized for viewing on the Wii and possibly the PS3.
While it does seem patently ridiculous for that to be the main reason behind kids wanting a next-gen console, especially when porn's easily found on primetime television, movies, and the secret nooks and crannies of their parents' cabinets, we will acknowledge some truth to it. It is possible, though unlikely, for a kid to stumble upon a porn site while using Sony and Nintendo's consoles as impromptu web browsers. It's also possible that, by some unscrupulous mechanism, porn sites will mislead kids looking for Wii tips into something like "WiiLikeBigButts.com". That's what parental controls are for.
But wait. According to the article, "Other parents, however, complain that Nintendo's scheme is unsatisfactory, and that the Wii browser lacks a "cyber-nanny" or filtering function. "As we've discussed previously, the Wii's parental controls allow for browser disabling and alteration of the "accepted games" the Wii can play, as based on ESRB ratings.
As far as we can tell, that's a lot of complaining without doing the work. These concerned parents may want to read the manual or check our own tutorial for parental controls so they can make sure their kids aren't checking out porn. The strange thing is, they're really hung up on a Wii-centric coverage of this... which doesn't seem fitting for the kid-friendliest of consoles.

like the guy above, kids will not view porn in the middle of their house.
second of all, the PS3 has a feature to disable the web browser...
seriously
lol learn how to spell
I like WiiLikeBigButts .com...
I'm such a horrible parent that I work 15 hours a day, feed my kids McDonald's 3 meals a day and only see them every second thursday because I have to pay for this wonderful western civilization that has brought us so many creature comforts that I work 70% of my life to afford them and now they tell me that my kids are subjected to *gasp* porn... I wish that i could teach them how morally wrong it is and to go back to gang wars in grand theft auto and stay away from humans in natural form doing things animals would do... jimmy, please ignore you sexual urges to every degree, daddy loves you... I hope you'll be a violent, arrogant, selfish bastard with no sex drive by the time you're twenty one.
Oh My GoD!!! Jimmy!!! You're going to go BLIND!!!!
Where there's a Wii there's a way...
Hadda say it...
A video game can show wanton violence, and few people care. If it shows a single sex scene, everyone's on a witch hunt...
Same thing with movies: Rambo can kill 100 people, it's Rated "R". One sex scene, and it's "NC-17".
We live in a world that is fascinated by violence and appalled by sex. How scary is that??
couldnt have said it better myself
I'm willing to bet that any house with PS3's or Wii's already has a computer with internet access that can get these "kids" the pron they want.

Just a twisted thought... when are the first headlines going to come in claiming "teen injures self with Wii controller and downloaded prongraphy" lol. now that'll be f**ked. hahahaha
Ban PS3 please my children dont need console with prongraphy
WTF
Just because the author of this topic is a bad parent doesnt mean everyone else is. Hey I have a
*****ING CYBER NANNY FOR YOU YOU *****ING *****GOT, ITS CALLED DONT DOWNLOAD THE INTERNET TO YOUR Wii YOU *****ING RETARDED DUMBASS.
so what if they are looking at prono at least they aint gay lol
Not all porn is straight.. so the kid could still be gay...
i bet these people haven't gotten laid their whole life. I mean come on you can look at porn on a pc or a cellphone and i know a lot more kids have cellphones than wiis or ps3s. Besides, they have to learn about this stuff sometime right?
am I the only one totally numb to porn these days?
I remember when I was a kid and I had to sneak a peak at some sn@tch in a dark room while my parents slept. these days it's everywhere..and really not very special.
I can't think of a place I HAVEN'T seen porn.
I even found porn folded up in a gideon's bible at a hotel.
get over it. porn's everywhere.
Tell me one thing bad about porn. ONE. If I ever have kids, I would rather them look at porn (a lot) than do drugs. Drugs are way worse than porn.
they're too late *wink wink

lol articles like this makes me laugh. Its alot easier stealling p0rn from parents than trying to use the ps3 as a browser (cmon you need two hands have to run the browser unless your tallented) Also Read your manual for you router, pretty much 80% of them have Advance parental and content filtering (not free) but trial. Pay for it if ur soooooo lazy to be a parent and actually pay attention on your child. Oh forgot about stealing magazine, i think thats easier and alot more fun :)
PS this is my experience growing up with porn :)
All pron isn't staight dumb@$$.
