I’ve spotted this ad in today’s newspaper which instantly reminded of an art piece from the good ol’ days of net.art (pictured below, but unfortunately the original Alexei Shulgin’s FuckU-FuckMe site is not available anymore).

Placing very lifelike (but fake) FuckU-FuckMe alongside the just-as-much lifelike (but fake looking) Wii fit only makes one wonder how long before Nintendo decides to launch a new product line for mature audience. Games would naturally need to be accompanied by appropriate controllers, you know, for seamless gameplay and natural suspension of disbelief.

Whoever decides first to transform FuckU-FuckMe from bits to atoms will probably have to polish the usability aspect a tad. However, if I’d have my pick, I’d want to see Nintendo do it rather than Microsoft.
