Mother Discovers “Islaamic Conspiracy” In DS Game
There’s nothing more frustrating than when the free press gives voice to one person’s paranoid conspiracy theories. Recently there’s been a big hubbub about a doll that supposedly in its cooing and gurgling says “Islaam is the light”. Now a mother is reporting that the same ‘hidden message’ is put inside a game called Baby Pals developed by Crave.
Anyone who’s been gaming for a decent length of time will occasionally recognize a sound effect that’s been used in multiple things. On occasion I find myself watching a film or television show and recognizing a familiar creaky wooden door opening sound that I first heard in Daggerfall, the second of the ‘Elder Scrolls’ series. In the sixties and seventies people were horrified to discover that when you played certain records in reverse they contained “hidden messages” which were simply gibberish that overactive imaginations filled in with their own meanings.
The most amazing part of the video clip is that the news agency hints that somehow Nintendo is responsible for this, saying that although it was created by a third party the game was ‘licensed’ by Nintendo. Which of course means that the Japan-based company is part of a secret underground Muslim conspiracy.
