Reliable and rarely biased honesty-benchmark news agency Fox has revealed something shocking about the Nintendo DS, it has pictochat.

According to this
report, it's easy as pie for dastardly paedophiles to get in touch with your kids via Pictochat, the DS' built in wireless chat program. So that's what they're hiding under their shady trenchcoats.

Fox News managed to "prove" the dangers of Pictochat by filming two children in their room and telling them that the reporter will send them a few messages from downstairs. When asked what their address was, they happily gave it out, which probably had nothing to do with being on television. As stalwart reporter Brad Hicks said, the two had only met him a few minutes ago.

Beware, then, next time you see a bloke on the tube with a DS. He could very well be a disguised paedophile, trying to get into your daughter's knickers.
