Who said games weren’t for adults

A company that makes pole dancing equipment is set to produce a game for the Wii. The company called Peekaboo is apparently in talks to produce a game for “that meets mainstream demand for the fun and fitness benefits of pole dancing.”

The company is already a fair way down the track when it comes to taking pole dancing into the home with a range of products called “Electra”, which (you’ve guessed it) are inspired and endorsed by former Playboy model Carmen Electra, though she will apparently not be involved with the Wii game….shame, I'm sure the kids would have had a lot of fun.

According to the company, they are aiming to follow in the tracks of Guitar Hero and carve out a niche in the gaming industry. More interestingly, the company suggested that men would also be a target with the statement "Men and women of all shapes and sizes will be encouraged to work on improving their skills”.

MyTake – It’s a craze that is catching on all over the world, you only have to go down your local gym and you’ll be able to sign-up to a pole dancing class. Bringing it to the Wii is either a genius idea or monumental waste of time and money – do people really want to pole dance in their living room? The cross over between physical activity and gaming seems to be centred on the Wii, which is essentially what is setting it apart from the pack.
