Local TV news could be the single worst thing in the U.S. -- find out how Jello could kill your child, tonight at 11. In another example of blowing something so small way out of proportion and scaring the crap out of a Bush America, the local FOX affiliate in Milwaukee uncovered how the DS can be used to pick up kiddies outside a mall.
Watch the idiocy here and laugh at the old people scared about the DS.
In other news, Brian Peppers was spotted snatching up 5 DS Lites in Milwaukee.
[Thanks Leo]

Omg.... atleast they point out that the parents need to read the god damn manual, and that they are ultimately responsible.
My favorite "You could driving in the car and a child molester could see your kids in the backseat and then start sending your kids messages via Picochat." That must be one talented molester, being able to drive and use the stylus at the same time!
Hurrah for fear mongering!
It makes you wonder what other kinds of grueling tests the FOX team is putting the DS through to assure our safety.
I didn't call the cops or nothing.
To me it was almost a good commercial for the Wii. I didn't know you could use it up to 400 ft. That's pretty sweet. I've never even used Pictochat. Now, I need some friends within 400 ft of me to have a DS on at the same time as me. WOW that would be SW33t!
At least it made me laugh, when they were like, "WHOA HOLD THE PHONE YOUR CHILD CAN GET MOLESTED FROM USING THE DS!" Also, when the little kid was like, "It's got lots of graphics..." Stupid little kids.
only w/ the hot 18 year old asian chick tho. i bet she has a ds.
Loneliness does strange things to a man, strange things.
That's crazy and scary and sad all at the same time.
Thanks Dtoid!
Umm, I mean... Also, cocks.
Hey! "I Kill Children" was blown way out of co ntext by the media, besides that song kicks ass.
Anyway, as Yuphrum said you'd have to be using Picto Chat in order to communicate with others. This is all just paranoia.

Check out the news post and check the comic out. It's just them trying to scare the crap out of parents.
-"There was a warning in the instructions booklet."
"....durrr..."
And yeah, you only use pictochat when you have just bought it or at gaming conventions.
Also, if your child's got a cellphone, a child molester might guess the number and call your child!
Remember in the 2nd grade. You tried to listen to your mommy when she told you to smile when they take your picture today, "Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse".
You're scaring the living shit out of people.
(We're all back on the playground.)
Some dark grey elementary school yard
where you waited for mommy, and peed a little in your pants because you thought she wasn't coming.
When everyone went outside you felt really scared when you couldn't see your teacher.
The other kids were all just running around and you saw their mommies come and get them.
You tried hard not to cry.
Brian, try to think of the warm feeling when mommy makes you something to eat when you get home, and you can watch cartoons, and maybe daddy had a surprise for you. Sometimes he would bring something home like a ball. One time he brought home a real mouse.
The police had to use a van because of your wheelchair. Remember in 2nd grade, you remembered to smile.
