Apparently “Rated 4+” = full frontal nudity

I think it should be obvious at this point that I’m probably the furthest things from a prude, but I must say, slipping full frontal nudity into an app rated 4+ just seems a little odd to me.


That’s right, everyone’s favorite Look and Find (including my kids) Time Geeks has a couple fairly adult finds for you (or your 4+ kid) to find, including, but not limited to Adam and Eve (and Adams’ fairly impressive penis) and men urinating in public.

Again, I love the game, and to be honest, my kids personally found the nudity to be funny, but GOOD LORD, Adam is packing a third leg! The least they could do is make the offensive member more correctly proportioned so as to not give young girls unrealistic expectations. I’d say “knee-length” should maybe be a fair compromise.

I’ll go ahead and chock this one up to a cultural difference, as the developer is named “Ivanovich Games“, which probably means he’s from one of those countries where children’s programing is half Muppets, half Hard Core Porno, like the Brazilian Argentinian children’s show Xuxa which got me through many a long cold night when I was in school in Rhode Island.

Anyway, the game is great, and you should definitely check it out if you haven’t, but I would suggest Ivan maybe bump the age to 9+ or something for here in The States. People tend to overreact here.

    Re: Adam and unrealistic expectations – isn’t this how western culture has treated women’s breasts all along?

  2. @MIke
    Your point is well taken and subsequently dismissed on the grounds that it is a buzz kill.
    On a more chauvinistic note, odds are things will likely only get better now that 3D is catching on.

    I should add, that I don’t see any problem with the images in the app; they’re anatomically correct and non-sexual; it’s not like the little fella is doing the bird up the back door or something. You do, it seems, run a double standard there at Macenstein….

    The Show of XUXA was a Brazilian TV program., and the weird thing is that by that time I hadn’t realized how wrong it was. :P

  8. Matthew,

    very few ADULTS have an interest in Macenstein, let alone children.

  9. And all you Brazillian Xuxa fans: OK, I concede she may have been from Brazil, but in my defense, she taped many versions of her show:

    “Xou da Xuxa ended in 1993 due to Xuxa’s desire to invest more time in her international career, which included Spanish and English versions of Xou da Xuxa as well as various shows in the U.S. and Europe. During that year, she developed health problems attributed to stress; a typical week consisted of seven hours of taping for a month’s worth of shows coupled with flying to Argentina where the Spanish version was taped.”

  14. Wade says:

    She still does children’s programming on Brazilian TV. She’s not dead or anything. She’s probably the most famous and adored celebrity in Brazil (though it’s anybody’s guess why). All the international versions of her shows flopped, and the clip you posted is even in Portuguese, rather than Spanish.

    Dress them and give them a gun. Then it´s perfect and appropriate. Gunslingers are always more harmless than naked people (think of all the occasions, where naked people have taken innocent lifes just by showing their 3rd leg or naked boobs). Please… we MUST stop this! Guns for everyone.

    As a father of a 5 year old and 1 year old…and have had to watch Barbie movies, Elmo movies, The Wiggle’s and yes…Barney…… I can say that I fully endorse Xuxa. My 2 girls may not like it…but Daddy will!

    Not very educational game. White women don’t have black nipples and green pubic hair. Got a tattoo down there that says, “don’t mow the grass?”
