When we <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/15/rumor-wii-peekaboo-pole-dancing-pitched/">first heard</a> of the <em>not-at-all</em> embarrassingly named company Peekaboo Pole Dancing's apparent plans to bring a pole dancing game to the Wii, the whole thing smacked of a <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/02/joystiqs-april-fools-day-solutions-guide/">better-late-than-never</a> April Fools' prank. Not so, according to MTV Multiplayer blog, which asked the purveyors of the "Peekaboo Pole Dancing Kit" and the Carmen Electra-endorsed "Electra-pole" the question that just had to be asked: <em>Why?</em><br /><br />Peekaboo rep Simon Kay told the blog that the idea behind bringing what he calls "aerobic pole dancing " to the Wii is "all about fun and fitness." According Kay, Peekaboo wants the game "to do for pole dancing what <em>Guitar Hero</em> did for rock n roll!" We can't help but imagine that the game will finally give gaming couples with an eye for rhythm a means to use their 'star power' for an added -- not to mention motion sensitive -- relationship spark.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"> </p><p><a href=http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/05/02/wii-pole-dancing-game-intended-for-fitness-fun-for-men-and-women/>Read</a> | <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/02/wii-pole-dancing-plans-confirmed-fitness-to-blame/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/forward/1185467/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/02/wii-pole-dancing-plans-confirmed-fitness-to-blame/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p>]]></description><category>peekaboo</category><category>pole-dancing</category><category>poledancing</category><category>wii-strip</category><dc:creator>Jason Dobson</dc:creator><dc:date>2008-05-02T20:35:00+00:00</dc:date></item></channel></rss>
