Frat Party Games - Beer Pong For Wii
A new game called "Frat Party Games: Beer Pong" is being developed for Nintendo 64 Rumble Paks Nintendo Wii. The hilarious part about this game, besides it being a beer pong game, is that the game was given a T rating (as in 13 and up) by the Video Game Ratings Commission.
JV Games Vice President Jag Jaeger gave a very thought provoking response to all of the criticisms, saying that "The game "BEER pong" was never about alcohol, but rather the growing sport that GameCube E-Cards developed around BEER pong. There's even a World Series of BEER Pong that is held in Las Vegas where contestants vie for $50,000 in prize money."
"The thing is, it's becoming a really well-known sport." - Jag Jaeger
Yeah... Basically he's Cheap Video Games explained how this is a well known sport for ADULTS IN VEGAS... So lets market it to kids, right... Also, what do you think they spend that $50,000 prize money on? More cups and ping pong balls?
To make matters even more hilarious, the Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal who was downright outraged, successfully got JV Games to change the name of the game to "Pong Toss". Uhh... Why not just give the game a higher rating, that's all people are complaining about. We don't care if someone makes a game called "Beer Pong" Popular Video Games "Sex Lessons" for the Wii just don't market it to an age that it's obviously not appropriate for.
Changing the name is as silly as marketing it to teens in the first place. Along with changing the name they've cleverly decided to remove all references to beer in the game and title. Problem solved! Because we all know 13 - 20 year olds are just way to dumb to figure out that the game is about beer... Or to figure out that it was previously named "Beer Pong".
Yes, it's all pretty ridiculous, but on the plus side, if you're over 21, now you don't have to buy ping pong balls or cups or even a table! Just get a Wii, the Pong Toss game, some Beer and you're pretty much set for life!
