It's one of those days where the front page is funnier than the comic:

http://www.penny-arcade.com/

" Kotaku carried a story yesterday that is (basically) the Nintendo DS version of that Playstation Pornable scare from six months ago. You can see it here, and you should, because it's awesome. It depicts a scenario so imaginative that it juts into the realm of speculative fiction:

While driving on the highway, a child molester who is also driving might look into the back seat of your car and see your child using their DS back there. According to this terrifying report, the child molester can then - while driving their car - produce a DS of their own and utilize it to divine your home address. You will recall that he is driving on the highway at speeds approaching sixty miles an hour. One hand is on the wheel and the other is managing the gearbox. Thus, there can be no question.

He is entering these messages into his DS with his erect phallus.

The report isn't specific on this last point, but it's clearly present in the subtext. Pedophiles are writing messages to your kids using their dicks. "

As my father noted, while most child molesters may not have a DS or know about Pictochat, thanks to Fox News, they now have a handy how-to guide to molestation!

"divine your home address"

This is the part that puzzles me. I'm willing to suspend the disbelief for the operating the DS while driving a vehicle, connecting magically to your kids DS, but how in hell do they get a home address out of that?

Now if you were to tell me that pedophiles are looking for DMV connections so that they could get addresses of license plates, that doesn't seem entirely outside the realm of believability.

I only watched without audio, but I'd suspect that the pedo asks your child. you know cuz 1) kids know their home address most of the time and 2) are so willing to give it out to whomever.

What self respecting kid is going to turn off their game and go into Pictochat? I'd totally ground my kids if they were that lame.

I got this image of a pedophile driving along and seeing a kid with a DS and suddenly he's off chasing down the motorway to be honest pictochat is lame...if you don't have the capacity to engage in conversation with the person some 5 feet away from you...you fail at life frankly.

Unless you can't talk then your alright <.< >.>
