Edge Reports Wii Game is “Most Profane Game” March 16, 2009

According to the Guinness book people, that is. Funny, in a world of useless, uncompromisingly trashy talk the king of the curses in the video game medium is found on the Nintendo Wii (y’know; that family-friendly console)…
The game in question is Headstrong Games’ House of the Dead: Overkill. Here’s a quote from the Edge article:
The records authority says the lightgun game drops the “f-bomb” 189 times in about three hours of “relatively limited dialogue,” or just over one f-word per minute. The Queen Mother of All Swear Words accounts for about 3 percent of all spoken words in the game.
Unfortunately the developer is proud of their achievement. The article goes on to explain that the profanity is exactly what they were looking for and is OK with the “dubious honor”
