I don't think I'm breaking TOS here (there are no naughty pics on this page at least), but if so, my bad, and please lock thread. But that being said, check this out...

http://suicidegirls.com/boards/The+Site/55715/page1/

Apparently, someone who has a profile on the site listed a few Nintendo games as favorites got the site a cease and desist order. Its simply funny reading a bunch of naked emo/punk chicks argue about PlayStation and the such.

 

[Burger]

Oh my god. Give me a freaking break. whatever

Yet another reason why Playstation is infinitely better...

lol

 

[fse]

Stupid Nintendo.

Whatever happened to Zelda.com? They used to be run by a pornsite, but Nintendo had to buy them out. How much did they make on the deal?

SuicideGirls could be such a cool site, but the last time I saw their stuff it was so boring. Just punk'er girls standing around, looking bored in various states of undress. Hardly even any suggestive poses. Not only is it totally softcore, but it's bad softcore. NakedNerds was equally as bad....though they had some hardcore shoots that were few and far between.

No kidding!

How is a guy supposed to enjoy pictures of frequently hot, thankfully naked women unless he can actually see the jizz in the eye?

Weeps for today's youth,

More like "How are you supposed to enjoy pictures of naked girls when they sit there with a blank expression, looking like a clinical photograph for a study on STDs?"

A lot of their models are pretty hot, but don't seem to be putting any effort into it. Photos turn out being neither artistic nor erotic.

I went to go see their Burlesque Show when it came to town, and had a good ol' time without seeing the ladies get jizzed all over on stage.

They won't stop until "nintendo" and "site:nintendo.com nintendo" get the same results on google.

But Quinne is so fucking cute!





Yeah, you're right. It kinda sucks. I even paid for it once, fooling myself it was good enough, but I never even went there then.

Hey, if that's what you read into a picture, go right ahead. It's your American right to assume the worst about people who might look different than you.

I prefer something to think a little bit more up-beat. Mainly: "wow, that girl looks like a real girl you'd see in downtown Portland, the cute but surly kind we all know and secretly love, what a refreshing and delightful change from the silicon-town, airbrushed-more-than-a-Cats-touring-company-member girls you normally see in today's moving pictures and pictographs." and/or "whoah, boobs huhuhu *stampa* *stampa*".

(I should probably state for the fairness record that I launched SG with Sean/Missy way back when -- we're friends from my days in L.A., and I did code, not the real fun bits, before it quickly outgrew my free time -- so I'm going to be bias on this issue.)

 

[aku:jiki]

airbrushed

SG definitely has some of that going on, though.

The aforementioned Quinne has a set (in a very postered room) where you can see that her armpits have definitely been tampered with in some shots.

Yes, I've seen it a lot.

Assume the worst? Huh?

I love the idea of putting sexy freaky girls into pornography, and enjoy it even more if they're not the cookie-cutter Playboy model types. When I say they look like a clinical photograph, I mean they just look plain.....about like you would look if you went to the hospital and they wanted to take your naked picture (not happy, not posing too much). Their face so frequently has this bored, blank, disinterested look. At times it honestly reminds me of child pornography, the way the girls don't really even look like they want to be there but are doing the shoots half-fearfully and half-obligingly, going through the motions with only a pretense of willingness.....and when the stuff sparks this weird subconscious connection to child porn, well that's always going to be a turn off for me.

Nothing has a particularly seductive feel about it. I know some of the girls are too cool to smile and all that, but if you can't have them look cute n' happy, then have them at least look lusty.

A lot of their acts in the Bulesque Show were very creative, very funny and entertaining, and very sexy. None of that seems to transfer to the web shoots though.

Cool to hear that you are/were a help to the site though. I wish them all luck, even if it's not really my style.

This made Slashdot:

It should be worth noting that a) This is from a Law firm representing Nintendo, Nintendo likely had nothing to do with the takedown notice and b) The takedown notice itself came from a bot.

Expect a retraction from the law firm, no law was broken. Jaywalking is a bigger crime.

 

[FortNinety]

I attribute it to being popular, Now that they're such hot shit, I would imagine that they scaled back due to a number of reasons.

I'll admit, I used to be a fan back in the days, but not anymore.

 

[etiolate]

Am I the only one who skipped over the email, went to the users page to see if it was a hot chick and found out it was a 6' 240lb guy?

Because I think I am

Well I guess that ends some fantasies for some people here.

damn, that's completely lame from Nintendo.

Hm...are you talking about Suicide Girls or Nintendo?

Random quotes from their topic:

Hmm, I think that last quote was Anihawk...

I don't know if anyone actually cares or not, but apparently this was a hoax:

Nintendo lawyergram to Suicide Girls -- UPDATE
Following up on earlier news today about a hilariously clueless cease-and-desist from Nintendo's attorneys to softcore website Suicide Girls -- the implications of which are as stupid as they are far-reaching -- BoingBoing reader Josh says,

Hi Xeni, I called the S.F. and the Seattle offices of the law firm representing Nintendo here, Perkins Coie. They not only seem to not know about this, they can't even look at it because their firewalls won't allow them to get to porn sites. (Ed note: BWAAHAHAHAHAH!)
I've emailed someone in their offices the posts so I expect this'll get cleared up inside a day or two.

Link to previous BoingBoing post with full text of the laughably logic-lacking lawyerletter. I've known some of the partners at Perkins Coie in the past -- sharp, tech-savvy, forthright folk. I can't imagine this silliness will go too far.

edit: Oops. The /. link above also includes a link to the update.

 

[Optimistic]

Yeah, you're right. It kinda sucks. I even paid for it once, fooling myself it was good enough, but I never even went there then.

Aha, you paid for porn? On the internet? Hahahahahaha!!

The Revolution would have to absolutely tank (like, really, really badly) for this to be even remotely feasible.

Also, for Nintendo's sake, I hope this is fake, or at least some kind of mistake made by the firm representing them. Otherwise it's positively retarded.

 

[lexi]

Jesus Christ, do you people even read the topics you post in?

No, never.

In fact, I'm not even sure how I'm responding to this.

 

[jarrod]

Actually, Revolution, DS, GBA & Gc would all have to suddenly tank overnight for that to happen. I mean CD-I style... I think it's a safe bet that you'll never see a Nintendo published game on a PlayStation or Xbox format.

 

[COCKLES]

What do Nintendo expect if they make a console that looks like a handbag?
