BUTTSECKS: There are pedophiles in our videogames!

A Cincinnati NBC news station has a news story up proclaiming that videogame systems are a gateway for sexual predators. There have been some cases in Ohio where some sick bastards have used Xbox LIVE to target children. One such case involved a 30-year-old woman sending nude pictures of herself to a 16-year-old boy who sent nude pictures of himself in return.

Most interesting of all of this is what one investigator had to say:

The shift from computers to video games doesn’t surprise investigators, but many parents remain unaware of the risk.

You know who's to blame for this shift?! Chris Hansen. Thanks to Catch A Predator, these jackasses are finally catching on and moving to different online mediums. 

The news story at least makes it clear that parents need to get involved with their children so they don't do anything stupid.

They do get one thing horribly wrong in the story though. They claimed that the Wii is also a gateway for the predators. The Wii online system is so broke that it's useless to predators. The one and only good thing about Friends Codes. Which, by the way, this is pretty much why the whole Wii Online system is so crippled.
