  • So why is it in Japan adults play Animal Crossing and are normal people?

  • I've never heard of ABC 17 news--and THIS is why.

  • Critical. Research. Fail.

  • BE SCARED OF EVERYTHING. EVERYONE RAPE YOUR KIDS.

  • News is overrated. I'm twelve years old and I play this game.

  • Reporting live from my living room to spout a bunch of nonsense about pedophiles and video games.

  • You guys are wrong, they did state a fact, Animal Crossing IS on the Wii. Trying to find some more though.

  • "This is the man who is accused of child molestation."

    *Shows Tortimer*

  • Tortimer you have been arrested because some dummys believe that NPCs can be controlled!!

  • HAHAHAHAAHHAA Most moms would say get off animal crossing but my mom just laughed because she plays ALOT I got grounded for trying to steal her pianio it used to be mine :(

  • Someone call Copper!

  • Comment removed

  • Okay I can understand them being concerned about the possibility of people using video games to contact children, but why do they focus on the Wii? The Wii is pretty much the one console in which case it's virtually impossible to talk to strangers on. And most of them that can be used to talk to people use some kind of chat board system so you can only use preset messages.

  • See that tortoise over there? He could easily be a pedophile, I mean, he is an NPC and can't be controlled by anyone but the game which has no sexual preference for children or anyone whatsoever.

  • I THOUGHT TORTIMER WANTED THOSE PICTURES FOR LEGITIMATE REASONS!

  • 'Sexual' favours! ;) Imagine if someone from this news piece had experienced the cabbie's voracious flirting, heh!

  • maybe this is why you get to take over as mayor in the next one...

  • And I'm 19 years old. Technically I'm an adult. I love animal crossing (and have for 8 years!) and I'm not playing it "for the wrong reasons." It's just my favorite game. These people are so dumb.

  • OMG. Any one who plays animal crossing knows that Tortimer can't be played as a character. And when you talk on the game it doesn't come up as a speech bubble like that. geez I'm almost mad at these people's ignorance.

  • I call thumbs up on this video b/c it brightens up my day watching dummies say this stuff. I'm an adult animal crossing player and i love this game also.

  • Yeah, all you mmo'ers should be locked up. You bunch of pedia files with your worlds of whore craft and calls of booty. I can't for the life of me think of any reason why grown men would play video games. We didn't have those fancy nintendos back in my day. All we had was a rock, and we'd throw it at some water to see how many times it would bounce. Now that's fun for all ages right there.

  • Hey I love animal crossing it's an awesome game. I'm an adult and play it all the time but not with other kids with adults I know. I don't let my kids play it by themselves for other reasons because I did a couple of times and they kept on erasing our town! I finally got to a 3 story house they are not erasing it on me this time so I hide it from them. lol. The people in your town are not real people you have to open your town gate and have their code to let them in.

  • Last time I checked i talk to people In my neighbor hood and town.

  • lol lets lock up tortimer

  • Good lord, what complete, utter, absolute, total, top-to-bottom *drivel*. "This character could be..." "I cannot come up with..." "...likely doing it for the wrong reasons." "Anderson says..." "...all those possibilities." People get paid for this??

  • Tortimer, really? Its the scripted part, " this could be that man from california" my ass!

  • So , i got Animal Crossing:Wild World today with ma Christmas monay , should i be scared? N plus, HOW TO YOU MEET THE MAYOR, IVE TALKED TO HIM 5 TIMES, AND EVERYTIME I GO TO TOM NOOK, HE KEEPS SAYING "I think there's someone you missed, maybe you should talk to the Mayor" Im like .. . . wth man -.-

  • ...what?

    Oh my...

    ...what the fucking shit did I just hear?

  • *GASP* EXCHANGE FAVORS!

    LOCK EM UP!

  • @hellfireleo I know tell me about it. My neighbors keep losing their keys! I'm tired of fishing them out of the river for them but I usually get furniture in return. lol.

  • You think this is stupid? You should meet the people who believe this crap.

  • Wow and I'm only now seeing stuff on this x_x I hope someone was either sued or fired...

  • "We also just don't have the investigative resources to have people doing investigations on Wii and investigations on Xbox..."

    Ah ha! It's a clever ploy to get the taxpayers to buy them some game consoles. :)

  • I found the closest friends I've ever had on Animal Crossing - 4 years ago at that.

    What the fuck.

  • OH MY GOD SHE IS NOT WEARING HER SAFTEY STRAP AT 1:39

  • @EmeraldCharizard5353 She's not really playing it at the moment so it's not needed. Plus except for bug hunting and fishing, there's really no flicking of the wiimote or anything like that needed.

  • Oh my gods, even Tortimer!

  • And this is why I never watch the news. My faith in humanity has lowered significantly this day.

  • I always wondered what Tom Nook meant by "You'll have to pay me back for that house". I learned the hard way... (It was sexual favors)

  • This is why you're the new mayor in Animal Crossing 3DS... Tortimer got sent to jail.

  • Well, I guess I know what happened to Tortimer now. Was wondering what happened to him since you're going to be the mayor in Animal Crossing 3DS. He got arrested for sexually harassing children online.

  • I was playing Star Fox Assault on Wii and I wanted to leave cause I felt unsafe but Wolf said "I can't let you do that Star Fox..." I still have nightmares.

  • @ShadowBlade972  Genius.. lol pure genius. XD

  • this sounds like one of the mom or dads on the news station was tired of their kid hogging their tv time. That or this was sony propaganda as they kept mentioning wii and xbox.

  • I am an adult and Animal Crossing is my favorite series actually. The only addicting game that comes with 0% stress. Also, in order to communicate with people online, you need their friend code which can only be obtained over the Internet or in person.

  • mooooooooooooooooooooan. i mean groan

  • Yeah. I Had Illeagal buttsex with samus on Brawl Wifi >_>

  • So Tortimer was the man in California police was looking for or not?

  • In Super Paper Mario, Luigi called me "bro". I think he's trying to pretend to be my brother to get into my house! SOMEONE HELP!!! D:

  • I never saw Tortimer as a rapist. Interesting, very interesting.

  • I was cursed out in Freaky Forms LOL

  • OW NOES! I HAVE THAT GAME and apparently non of 'Animal Crossing Let's goto the City' Requires you to post images of your self. Idiots made this report and the got the information from wwwDOTfakenewsDOTcom

  • This so awesome! XD

  • *sniff* Only after this news report can I say this but...I was raped by Tortimer when I played Animal Crossing: Wild World. Those NPC's are dangerous, I tell you! They want to steal our kids!

  • This isn't on Fox, therefore it must be true.

  • Nice to know that they cant even read the fucking manual.>________>

  • ZOMG GAIZ I GOT RAPED ON MARIO KART HOLEHHH FUCKING SHIET OH MEH GAWD THEN I WENT ON ANIMAL CROSSING AND TEH PRSONS ROBBED MEH OMFGGGG!!!! bullshit. who else besides me wants to get resetti and tell him to scream at these retards faces?.. tortimier is a preprogrammed character and the only images kids are gonna get is people fishing or catching bugs.

  • Tortimer... HOW COULD YOU?

  • Because everyone anywhere who plays animal crossing is a pedophile.

  • @Duathathedruid Nintendo advocates pedophilia and bestiality. HIDE YOUR CHILDREN.

  • @KazeSkyfox HIDE YO KIDS HIDE YOU WIFE HIDE YO HUSBANDS AND YO PETS CAUSE THEY RAPIN EVERYBODY OUT HERE!!!!!

  • @ShadowBlade972 Maybe the news is afraid Animal crossing will skyrocket the furry community. :V

  • None of this is true. This reporter was just looking for something to report and pulled a Fox news by spinning it to sound the way she wanted it to, like kids can be hurt by the game. Everything they said about this game was totally wrong. Levels? Images being sent? Tortimer is a non player character... oh my god, my head is spinning from the level of stupidity this report is displaying.

  • To be slightly fair, places like friendcodes(.)com exist where you can indeed exchange Friend Codes with strangers. But really, what can a stranger do to you over a game of Animal Crossing?

  • @zekuhryuh They can turn you into a furry and typefuck you. *runs*

  • I've never seen dumber people in my life. 

  • what? WHAAT? WHAAA

  • would people stop watching mainstream media already? if you like being lied to on a minute-by-minute basis, there must be better sources.

  • how become a successful reporter: blame new technologies for every problem in society even when the problem is older than the technology itself!

  • Oh that NPC Tortimer is such a pedo.

  • Can't tell if stupid or trolling.

    No, wait. Yeah, definitely stupid.

  • high class trolling!

  • dont watch tv its bad for your mind. Makes you dumb.

  • Not a single fact was given that day

  • Any web-based game with instant messaging etc etc etc. That's anything on the internet, including xbox live, nintendo wifi, and playstation network. The answer is simple: get the f***ing kids off the internet.

  • What a bunch of dumbarses... If they knew anything about Nintendo, they'd know that it's pretty much the only games company that even attempts to limit what kids might see. (As far asI know... I've never played xbox or PS1,2 or 3...)

  • I wanted my friends to get Animal Crossing so we could play together, but Wii is so much harder to get your friends into a game, I never even bought the game.

  • Who the fuck uses Webkins -.-

  • @Arjahn767 WTF is Webkins?

  • @LinkWarrior1 It's a game of animals. You buy plushies to get the animal online and you build rooms and play games. Kinda like Neopets and other similar things. It was a small phase my own sister went through.

  • TV reporters really don't give a fuck about the existence of internet, video games.. you know... other cultures. The sad part is that the reporter and the channel probably don't even know how internet works nor that their video is being hated by millions online lol

  • I live in Kansas City, and the moment I saw this I said to myself, "this story came out of either western kansas or central missouri" Reporting from Columbia, Missouri. Booyah. Sometimes, I really hate the midwest. Especially the Bible Belt.

  • LOL local news fail

  • People need to research before they post news reports about it

  • LOL this is incredibly stupid. Gotta love these "extremely correct" news broadcasts....

  • Tortimer you naughty little thing you~

  • OMG! TORTIMER IS A PAEDOPHILE!

    AND ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT IT WAS TOM NOOK!

  • That's it I'm no longer playing Animal Crossing. Tortimer is a liar.

  • omfg im laughing so hard. tortimer the creeper. haha

  • when it was allmost ove r i said - what da fu(k

  • Wow. I think I bruised my forehead with all the facepalming.

  • What the fuck did I just watch?

  • This explains everything O_O

  • I was only 15 when I was raped and physically abused in a Pokemon Diamond wifi battle

  • This is like a FOX news type fail

  • LOL! Tom Nook is actually a greasy mexican

  • WHERE IS YOUR FACT CHECKER.

  • WHAT THE HECK TORTIMER IS THE MAYOR! YOU CAN ONLY BE A HUMAN YOU CANT BE A FREAKING ANIMAL! CHECK THE DETAILS BEFORE YOU PLAY! STUPID PEOPLE! THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST CHILD FRIENDLY GAMES OUT THERE! >.<

  • Webkinz isn't a system, lol

  • LOL! Stupid new people. XD

  • Hahahaha, the annotations are genius :')

  • You win an Internet. I couldn't stop laughing for ten minutes from this sheer stupidity

  • i cant believe they think tortimer is a pedo, i would think kapp'n is the real pedo

  • i wish ppl werent so stupid

  • Did they do their research? omg

  • EPIC FAIL.

    As a fan of the Animal Crossing series, this makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. GOD people are dumb.

  • @JungleEmpress87 this made me want to punch the stupid ditzy reporters face!

  • ...

    ...

    ...

    Get me a sling shot.

  • Tortimer...I KNEW IT.

  • wait....are they saying Tortimer is a pedophile?

  • @XtoxicXcookieXdoughX Yep, they are actually saying that Tortimer is suspected to be a pedophile in California. They're dead serious. They actually weren't joking.

  • Hahahaha oh my fucking god, are they serious?

  • I really hope this is fake, because it's /hilarious/.

  • Is this for real?? HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO FUCKING STUPID!?

  • Fuck you I'm 18 and I'm still gonna get the 3DS version.

  • I am both screaming with rage and laughing.

    Jesus christ.

  • This is fucking hilarious

  • Well... with all those gay animals, i guess someone had to be the predator...

  • Wow....

  • lol best news report ever!!!

    so funny :D

  • Okay, they said that there is no reason for an adult to play Animal Crossing? My brother is 23 and still LOVES it. So does his girlfriend, and there's nothing wrong with that. Some people like cute, relaxing games. And a few of my guy friends (who are 16) still play it from time to time. Maybe ABC should do a little more research..

  • @saintsunnyish theyr probably just conservative that's why =|

  • I'm going to commit now.

  • HAHA 6 4 and 10 year olds play animal crossing!

  • >The game urges you to exchange letters, gifts, and 'favors'.

    Oh god, I laughed. I laughed so much. Oh, the connotations.

  • Shut up news people's!!! I'm a kid but Animal Crossing is meant to be enjoyed by everyone! Let's see those newspeople pick up a copy of Animal Crossing and rape kids. Yay! Snort.....

  • no wonder Phyllis is always a bitch

    She probably gets raped nightly

  • Big Top first asked me to send him a letter. I was excited to have a pen pal. Before I knew it we were writing daily and I couldn't wait for Pete to come and deliver my letter! Then, he asked me to find his key in the river. I didn't think anything of it. It was innocent enough. I did he was very grateful and even gave me a gift! The next day, Big Top asked to see my home. I set up a time, and he came not a second too early or late. Then...it happened. I was raped by an elephant.

  • @creepyoldman107 Your innocents was stolen that very day :'(

  • @creepyoldman107 omg ahahahaha dude omg haha

  • I don't want to live on this planet anymore x_x

  • Are these people mental?

  • tell these people to go fuck themselves.

  • ugh the'd never have this kind of crap on the news in japan -_-

  • FUUUUU, I just raged D:<

  • TORTIMER YOU RAPIST D:

  • America sorta ya fucking self out !

  • Apparently I'm a child predator for playing Animal Crossing. Who knew?

  • Dear 17 News Channel Employees: You are tainting the gene pool. Please kill yourselves. Thank you. -A Concerned Citizen of the Human Race

  • Tortimer the Pedophile. -___- This is stupid.

  • i love how when shes talking shes making the person move and then they start talking to phyllis.. oh phyllissss

  • didnt see what they saying? non-sub... still deaf dude it

    just leander ASL because i lost hearing from ship attack go in my sheezyart

    goto mun2cat sheezyart

    don't used www

  • This just ruined the innocence of Animal Crossing. D:

  • there's nothing wrong with adults playing it, it is made as a family game :|

  • Comment removed

  • Idiocy idiocy idiocy idiocy idiocy idiocy idiocy idiocy idiocy............the previous words are the understatement of the century.

  • Please tell me they apologized and acknowledged their ignorance in a later report after being undoubtedly informed by people who actually know things?

    "I can not come up with any legitimate reason that an adult would be playing that particular game."

    I really hope the news media never finds out about the Bronys...

  • No one can access your town unless they have your friend code! So why are they making a big deal out of it??? :S

  • Mom: OH MY GOD! YOU CANT PLAY ANIMAL CROSSING ANYMORE! IT IS TOO DANGEROUS!

    Daughter: but then what can I play mommy?

    Mom: I KNOW! What your brother plays! Call of Duty Black Ops!

    Daughter: OKAY MOMMY :D

  • OMG GUYS WATCH OUT FOR TORTIMER ;)

  • Shit, I would have never expected Tortimer to be a Pedophile, don't Pedophiles usually give kids Candy? This guy gives you Fireworks, and he's only out on Holidays/Events. I'd expect a Pervert to spy on their target more often.

  • This is idiotic. What if an adult is playing it simply because they like it and think it's fun? Is that really so bad? Yah, I'm sure not everyone playing it has good intentions, but that's why parents should be responsible and watch their kids while playing online and teach them about internet safety. No reason to act like the game itself and every adult who plays it is evil. -_-"

  • Tortimer: Hm? Nah, stupid news cast dease days

  • She thinks Tortimer is a real person...

    WTF IS WRONG WITH HER!?

  • LMAO!! 3 kids...by an AI character :/ parents are stupid.

  • HOW IT THE WORLD CAN TORTIMER BE A RANDOM GUY?!

  • A crime alert!

    But no reason to be paranoid! Only A CRIME ALERT! BECAUSE EVERYONE ONLINE IS A PEDO AND A RAPIST OUT TO GET YOUR CHILD!

    But please, just be aware of this.

  • @joshrochanroolzutoob Of course. I mean, who HASN'T heard that every single stranger in the entire world (Even those news anchors, since they are technically strangers to someone) are pedophiles and rapists.

  • Tortimer is a boy toucher. OH SHIT.

  • I play COD and GTA online on my PS3. Am I a paedo? I might go and turn myself in.

  • O_O...

    OK...Correct me if I'm wrong but...

    ARE THEY DOING A NEWS REPORT ABOUT A COMPLETELY HARMLESS VIDEO-GAME, WHILE THERE ARE MURDERS, RAPES, AND KIDNAPPINGS?! WHAT THE FLYING DONKEY PUNCH HAS THIS SOCIETY COME TO!?

  • I think the funniest parts are that they think all the npcs are real people and that they didn't mention you can't meet up with any other wii systems without a friend code, which u usually get by KNOWING THE PERSON

  • I just love this :) so inaccurate

  • 00:40 I KNEW IT!!!

  • hhahahahaha animal crossing ftw

    i bet they play it before they go to bed

    they seem to know alot about it

  • Remember, if you don't play brown FPS games, you're a pedophile. Come to think of it, if you play those, you're a mass murderer. Sensationalism - where everyone loses out in the name of ratings

  • THEY R IDIOUTS!!!

  • LOL, what were they thinking, Animal Crossing is like the angel of all videogames! Violence is limited to whacking other characters over the head with a bug net. It's a *good* sign if your kid plays this and these people are attacking completely the wrong end of the gaming spectrum.
