When we first heard of the not-at-all embarrassingly named company Peekaboo Pole Dancing's apparent plans to bring a pole dancing game to the Wii, the whole thing smacked of a better-late-than-never 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: Why?

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 Guitar Hero 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.

Peekaboo Pole Dancing is currently seeking partners to license its "make me a private dancer" product for Wii, reports Tech Digest. The company famous for its "Peekaboo Pole Dancing Kit" and celebrity-endorsed "Electra Pole" has apparently reached out to the gaming industry at large through an email pitching its would-be game.

While Nintendo is not likely to follow up its Balance Board with the "Posture Pole," or Wii Fit with "Wii Strip," there's certainly a market for Peekaboo's proposal: a way for mommy and daddy to stay connected after the kiddies are tucked in; or the after-party for Wii Sports Bowling Night at the Senior Center. Though with STDs on the rise throughout the retirement community, Wii Strip may be one gimmick Nintendo is prepared to shy away from (let's not further encourage our performance enhancing drug-addicted elders, amirite?). One thing's for sure: Nintendo draws the line when it comes to the corruption of the old people.
