Parents who assume the Nickelodeon website is kid-friendly should think again – its homepage links to a sister website called AddictingGames.com that features racy, sex-focused video games like “Naughty Babysitter,” “Booty Rider,” and “You da Sperm!” AddictingGames.com is owned by Nickelodeon’s parent company, Viacom, but can be accessed directly from the Nick.com homepage. On AddictingGames.com, the “Nickelodeon” logo is featured prominently on the upper right corner of the screen – suggesting that the site is appropriate for a young demographic. Nick.com describes itself as “THE place for kids to play games online!” There will even be an entire show devoted to promoting an AddictingGames.com contest airing on Nickelodeon’s TV station on June 19. But with videogames starring busty, panty-clad cartoon characters, AddictingGames.com seems more suitable for the MTV crowd than Nickelodeon’s gradeschool-aged fans.
