If you thought "Skins" was bad, you'll definitely have a problem with the new Nintendo Wii game, "We Dare."
The "sexy party" game has been rated as appropriate for children over 12, even though the trailer features two couples stripping and spanking each other.
"The more friends you invite to party, the spicier the play!" a promo for the game says.
The game, which is unavailable in the U.S. but goes on sale in the U.K. on March 11, is described as a "sexy, quirky party game that offers a large variety of hilarious, innovative and physical, sometimes kinky, challenges."
The game also reportedly "suggests" same-sex kissing, orgies, pole-dancing and wife-swapping.
Needless to say, British parents are upset about the 12+ rating.
"I have a 13-year-old daughter and if I knew she was playing such a highly charged sexual game with boys, I would be appalled," Laura Pearson, 52, told The Daily Mail. "It is encouraging under-age sex."
But another mom said the game is "just a bit of harmless fun."
"It’s only like a modern-day Spin the Bottle," Sandra Betts, who has a 15-year-old son, told the paper.
Perhaps she hasn't seen this trailer for the game. What do you think? Is "We Dare" appropriate for kids?

+13When I was 12, there were kids doing WAY worse things than what is portrayed in this game. You don't need video games to teach you about sex. In most American Public Schools, they teach you about it in 5th grade. If not, you'd learn about it from other kids pretty quick.
Video games are even more addicting and less monitored by parents. We don't need this garbage aimed at kids already struggling with their sexuality to be made so light of. Sex is emotional and mental as it is physical. It should not be taken so lightly.
The only people that would buy this game and try to play it would be adults that are so drunk/stoned.
Give me a break Nintendo, turn from the dark side and avoid selling this blatant idiotic crap!
It probably isn't made for kids... But what parent would BUY this game for their kid in the first place?
Girls in early adolescence actually have a natural repulsion to sex: it's an evolutionary defense mechanism that kicks in when they are at a point in development where they can get pregnant but aren't physically ready to healthily carry a healthy baby to term.
