Problem with that is most stores don't allow AO games in their stores...Doesn't the Wii have parental controls to limit on what games can be played on the console?

Since the game will carry an M-Rating at minimum, why does a coalition for "Childhood" have any business griping about a game being marketed towards adults?Sure, some jackass at the local gamejobber will sell one to a 10-year-old. They're not out protesting all R-rated and Unrated DVD's being sold at most of these same stores just because they could be sold to minors. Apparently, only games influence and harm children.
