Nintendo Bans Names from Mario Kart Wii
According to sources around the Internets, Nintendo has forbidden the use of certain Mii Racer names in Mario Kart Wii. Nintendo banned certain words that when used in name creation would kick a player out of the game with a warning to choose a more appropriate name.
Interestingly, you could play as Joseph Stalin but not Adolf Hitler. It would seem that Nintendo didn’t cover all of its bases. Osama is also allowed. Though it’s only a matter of time before Nintendo realizes the oversight and bans those as well.
Note that this ban only applies when you’re attempting to race over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Othewise, you’re free to choose whatever name you want.

Heehee, that’s funny. I wonder if they let them use names of US politicians.
