Today in Catholic Priests Linked to Nintendo DS Game Consoles Containing Child Pornography

See, this is why police departments need nerds around when cases like this come up. The Nintendo DSi has a web browser, sure, but it doesn't save very much web history, so his excuse about the photos coming from browsed websites is baloney. The woman in question found those photos in the system's "photo" app. You have to either take the photos yourself or intentionally load them onto the SD card that comes with the system. And if you check the resolution of the photos that were found, you could tell 100% for sure that Bullman took the photos using the goddamned game system as his lens of choice.
Worse, its sound effect for when a photo is taken cannot be silenced--a preventative measure to curb Japanese boys' habit of sneaking underskirt photos of schoolmates--so whoever was in those photos knew damn well what was happening. He couldn'tt just hold the system up and fake like he was playing Nintendo while some kids changed (not that that's much better, but still).
David, can I invoice you for this entirely-too-specific analysis of underage porn on a Nintendo DSi?

Oh, dear.
What’s going to happen to all those arguments that it’s okay to support the catholic church (mass, funerals, weddings, tithing) NOW because they don’t abuse children NOW; all that abuse happened ages ago, we can’t hold them responsible for that behavior NOW?

The difference is, the pool of young fellows hoping they can pray away the pedophilia is shrinking, so they're having to recruit elsewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if the church is sending out form letters to all the names on the sex-offender registry. I mean, come on, it's the only good employment opportunity those dudes have left!

Sam Machkovech- Thanks for that explanation. I know nothing about how nintendos and their ilk work, not owning any of them.
Is there networking of some sort? Did the pictures have to be taken by his machine, or could they have been taken by a different nintendo, and shared with him (via the internets? or by connecting two DS's with a cable?)
Is he the only one with these pictures, or could he have shared them?

@14: you can't squirt 'em from ds to ds. You can copy them off the DS's SD card, put em on a PC and trade like that. Your questions are disconcertingly specific.

Er, I was afraid of that. Being 'disconcertingly specific', that is.
It's just that you mentioned the shutter noise feature of the nintendo, which opened the door to me wondering how in hell he took the pictures, or if he somehow downloaded them onto his nintendo. Meaning there's a larger population that may have the images.

It's always such a thrill to see one's hometown make the news. I'm sure brian and aureolaborealis know what I'm talking about.
