I was cruising through the new game release lists and came across a budget DS title from
Destineer called "Plushees". I didn't know if I should laugh or scream. Plushee is rather
close to plushie which is a term describing people who have sex with stuffed animals. I had
heard about this practice years ago from one of my friends. He had wanted to do a
documentary showcasing its participants. Unfortunately for us all (or fortunately I guess),
he is currently directing music videos and his idea never got off the ground.

However, the practice has hit the main stream. Of course,
Urban Dictionary has a
definition of it and of course someone has made a
Wiki for the practice. Probably where
most of you have seen it is in the following clip from YouTube where the practice made a
strange appearance in a C.S.I. episode.



Now, my question is, did the developers and distributors of the game have no knowledge of
the fetish association with their title or did they not care? I realize it is spelled differently
but the description of the game troubles me further;

"Product Description
Stuffed animals that have come to life and need your virtual love and care / ESRB E
for Everyone"

Virtual Love! and this game gets rated an E and people are upset about GTA IV?

Another past game comes to mind with a questionable title that hit US stores years ago.

Grabbed by the Ghoulies


Yup, the title really grabs ya by the balls, doesn't it? The game had several sexual
reference and innuendo using British slang. It was also rated an E for Everyone in the
States.

ESRB? WTF are you doing?
