Wii Pole Dancing Game in the Works?

Everybody and their mother knows that Wii loves mothers (families in general, but they love moms a lot), from the perpetually PG vibes of their first-party games, to the undercurrent of low quality kiddie titles that would weigh down their entire library if anyone ever took notice.

While I’m in the camp that thinks Nintendo needs a little roughing up — Medal of Honor and other sloppy ports just won’t do — a Pole Dancing Wii game may not be the bridge they’re looking for, either.

From Tech Digest:

“Currently seeking a partner to help license their concept, Peekaboo Pole Dancing has sent out an email announcing their idea for a Wii game that’d have you ’shake your booty’ and ’spin your thing’.

Little else is said about the project, only that it’s a concept, and ‘A-list celebs’ like Carmen Electra, Kylie Minogue, the Spice Girls and Pussycat Dolls are already fans of the company, who currently sell portable dance poles.”

THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Still, it’s a fun thought, Nintendo endorsing a pole dancing title featuring the world’s most famous tramps. The mind boggles at the Wiimote’s possibilities.

Your insinuations about pole dancing being something only for tramps are not appreciated by the thousands of women all around the world who dance simply for the joy of feeling strong, flexible, and fit. Working with one’s own body weight is one of the most balanced ways of working out.
Furthermore, thanks for using my (copywritten) image to front up your article. How ironic that an article about the “trampiness” of pole dancing sets alongside an image of an advanced acrobatic aerial move!

I think it’s a shame that you have stooped so low in your career that you had to write this trash you call an article. Did you even take a moment to review Jamilla’s work before you stole her photo? How about contacting her and asking a few questions so you could write an article of quality. You may find in the future that a little research can work wonders on your future.

I also pole dance for FITNESS ONLY! It’s a FUN way to excerise, why not!?!?! Whats so wrong with that? That doesn’t mean I’m a “tramp”….. I don’t plan to EVER work as a stripper, I have more respect for myself then that! So many women and men are doing it, have a look through youtube….. Maybe you should try it before you pass judgement!

Agree with the asshole comment!

Ermmmmmm… interestingly enough, pole dancing is what it is today because it was passed on by strippers themselves. One would hope then that the women who were lucky enough to be taught this amazing art form, would have the decency not to publicly blanket all strippers in the “lack of respect for oneself” category. As a stripper myself, and one who is proud of who she is and what she does, I have to say that my perspective is that lack of self respect is an issue with the human race in general, and to lay this trip on strippers in particular is incredibly unhelpful and prejudiced.
A little respect for those who have taught you what you know, wouldn’t go astray.
