WTNH in Indiana posts the very strange story of mother who took a doll and a Nintendo game away from her daughters after discovering what she says were hidden messages in the toys proclaiming "Islam is the light."
Rachel Jones says the message first popped up in a doll she'd bought her 4-year-old and resurfaced later in a copy of Nintendo's Baby Pals for the DS, which she'd purchased for her 8-year-old as a reward for good grades.
Publisher Crave has responded to claims made earlier in the week by an Indiana mother that her daughter's copy of Baby Pals contains a pro-Islamic audio message.
Do I dare say anything here? I just opened my mouth on that Islamic RTS news, and got my comment deleted as well as lost a bubble o.O
People take religion too seriously.
i don't understand the outcry about it. it doesn't sound like anything to me, and even if it did, how is that offensive? I'd understand if it said "declare jihad".
The news media needs to focus on something more productive, like, oh, our economy, and how a company we bailed out wants to buy another jet, and a president at one of the companies spent a million to redecorate his office. (thankfully he was fired, and is going to reimburse the money)
but is it necissary to make fun of my religion every chance one gets? Not talking about you, but just..thats how people in general are these days...it really sucks..
@phosphor112: Cheer up mate, let them make fun of it, in the end it's the christian church who's giving the bad touch to children.
You shouldn't feel awkward with your religion(unless you worship Flying Spaghetti Monster).
If it makes you a better person to others, gives you the feeling of inner comfort, sense of security or it's your sense of life, stick with it. It's all that matter.
I wonder what moral is behind those stories...
keep your Bible away from children if you are serious about that.
How dare you question my religion!? Still, I forgive you. May you be touched by his noodly appendage.
best call ever, the person who gave you a thumbs down is obviously putting his hands down little boys pants also, common knowledge - the catholic church is a haven for pedophiles
No, she's not going to complain about that. But let's think about Moses parting her seas...
Do you think she would complain if she was being told to rub Buddha's belly?
No comment. I can't get into a religious debate on the Internet. Just cause flame wars and no-one thinks about anything that is said.
It's a very tricky subject to bring up anywhere. Too many emotions ties in with it.
Baby Pals is tricky to score because it's aimed at such a select audience. It's not so much your typical game and more a virtual pet you pick up for a few minutes a day, albeit one featuring a very realistic baby. But undoubtedly, in delivering a realistic baby simulation with plenty of variety as well as something that even a very young child could have fun with, it fulfils everything its maker has probably set out to achieve.

Portable Video Gamer weighs in on some of the weirdest games currently available for the Nintendo DS. How do you develop a spelling bee game without digitized voices? When did "having your very own pony" become the context for an entire video game? The answer to these questions and more inside.
There are loads more ridiculous games on the DS. Check out this thread on Neogaf:

I tell you, the more games there are for a system and the more successful it becomes, the weirder some games get :)
Ugh. Well there is her 15 minutes of...fame?
This is above and beyond stupid.
They called it a toy, lol!
Judging by her comments, this lady seems like a racist, klan member?
Secondly, easter egg????
I turned on my PS3 the other day and during bootup I swear it said "Aaron Greenberg wears frilly pink panties".
