Is Nintendo Cracking Down On Nintendo-Themed Porn?

Geeks that we are, there's nothing that makes us swoon quite like the sight of a geeky girl with a video game system. Well, except a naked geeky girl with a video game system. Nintendo, however, doesn't seem to agree.

We've received word that Video Game Porn has received a notice from Cyveillance (a company apparently hired by Nintendo), alleging that they've been committing trademark violation. How'd they do that, you ask? Why, by using the name Nintendo to describe an image of a scantily clad woman...holding a Nintendo DSi.

Now we understand that Nintendo wants to keep its products safe for kids, and that there's always a sticky situation when you mix someone else's brand into your commercial product. But it does seem that the adult industry is specifically being targeted here, while other sexy fare and material that's not safe for kids is allowed to continuing using Nintendo's name and related trademarks with abandon. Double standard much?

The notice, in full, below:
