Nintendo DS Scrabble. Not for kids.

" Any doubt was removed when the next word the computer offered was '*****ers', which it defined as 'a slang word for chavs'. "

In my opinion, it sounds educational.

Who said Nintendo only catered to the kiddy crowd?

This game seems ****ing awesome.

Hey, its serious scrabble

Also,

A spokesman for Ubisoft said: 'We are sorry the game has caused concern, but it includes a "junior" option that stops it using unusual or offensive words.'

Typical parents not paying attention to the games they buy for their kids.

Well, technically swear words, or anything that isn't in a dictionary, are not valid answers for a game of Scrabble.

Shame on Ubisoft for not getting this right. The fact that a "Junior" option needs to be turned on to avoid the word "****" is a little obscene.

I want to know what kind of 8 year old boy has a pink nintendo DS and i quote "loves Scrabble"...

Id be more worried bout the boy if i was his father

Swear words are any decent dictionary, and are perfectly valid in Scrabble.

True that swear words are in some dictionaries, most swear words (particularly of the 4 letter variety) are illegal in games of Scrabble. Or so says the up to date OWL Dictionary my friends got me for my last birthday.

Yes, I'm that pathetic.

We've tried to play "****" several times, but gotten shot down by the dictionary. One time a friend laid "bitch", and I tried to lay "****". Because, what better of a way to counter "bitch" than "****". Unfortunately, OWL said otherwise.
