Nintendo sent some media outlets copies of Wild World, an Animal Crossing game for the Nintendo DS.  Apparently you can share and import some of the player-created content into the Nintendo Wii’s console version of Animal Crossing.  

Wired’s reporting that somehow a player managed to get around Nintendo’s content filters and inserted an offensive word into the game.  This offensive content was unlocked and incorporated into the version Nintendo sent out to the media outlets.  See below:

 

Apparently Nintendo has since been scrambling to pull these copies back, and has released an official statement.  Oops.
