Girl says Nintendo called her a "******* cow"

Schoolgirl Khloe Leslie was horrified when her favourite computer game took her to a vulgar new level – and called her a 'f****** cow'.

The 11-year-old was playing Animal Crossing on her Nintendo DS when one of the colourful animal characters swore at her.

Her mother Leeanne, 28, of Inverbervie, Angus, has now banned her from playing the game, which is branded suitable for children aged three and upwards.

A Nintendo UK spokesman insisted none of its children's games contained offensive content. He added: 'It is either a pirate copy or it is user-inputted text.'

Looks like user-inputted text (then again, this photo doesn't appear to actually be what the complaint is about), but it's really sad these people ran whining about it.

I think that it's a pirate copy. AC would censor the F-bomb.

Actually, all you have to do is connect with somebody that connected with somebody else that taught their animal bad language. Basicly, you can't connect with somebody without running the risk of downloading content from anybody that they've ever connected to in the past.

In fact, back when I played this game, I seem to remember somebody I visited on another board complaining later that an animal they got was swearing too much. The thing was, it claimed to be from ML's town. Now I'd never been to ML's town at the time, but I had been to Knux's town at the same time as ML. Seems it hitched a ride on my game and stayed dormant until I visited somebody else.

A game where I can teach animals foul language? Sign me up!

***Ace Mercury*** · 05-16-2007, 06:25 PM

^ As an owner or an animal?

Kil'jaeden · 05-16-2007, 06:38 PM

Owner.

It's called a parrot.

One time I had a glitched game with stuff like 65u61rd684ur61udr664u6r146u6r646u41r664u16r64u6r64 1u6 going across the screen but one time I found the A word in it.

**NintendoNut** · 05-30-2007, 06:58 AM

^ Sounds great, where do I buy?

I don't remember making anyone swear in ACWW. What exactly did it say?

And yeah, I remember when you and I were in Knux's town. We had a big bug net fight. Good times.

RenegadeAngel · 06-11-2007, 03:35 PM

Weel if you look at the text, she clearly says "calling someone ******* cow is pretty harsh" which doesn't make sense coz there isn't an "a", so she probably taught it to the animal for a laugh and then her mum say it...

Adam West · 06-11-2007, 03:49 PM

I remember drawing rude starsigns, but anyway......

It's silly that parents don't understand computer games more.

DJ Ryan · 06-11-2007, 05:13 PM

Cudge (SPM) told me "F*** You"

**L007 is Cooler than Dylan** · 06-14-2007, 09:00 AM

^ Yeah? I'm pretty sure the pots in one of the Banjo-Kazooie games said "F*** you" to me also.

DELICIOUS POISON · 06-15-2007, 02:35 AM

Yeah, but that's Rare for you.

She probably bought the game used from EB, and didn't realize it. Parents can be idiots like that. Of course, that's assuming they're not just trying to get something from the company.

**Kargath** · 07-02-2007, 11:55 AM

Mario Party gloves anyone?

Rolls-Royce Man · 07-03-2007, 12:12 PM

^^^ They didn't say Funk you?

Kain Highwind · 07-09-2007, 09:07 PM

OH NOES A BAD WORD MAMA PLZ SHEILD MY INNOCENT EYES

Kil'jaeden · 07-09-2007, 09:18 PM

Don't most kids learn all the swear words from parents, or is it just me?
