Computer boffins are working on a POLE DANCING game for the best-selling Wii console.
British-owned Peekaboo Pole Dancing is in talks to develop the game for the Nintendo stable but insists it will be for users to keep fit.
Spokesman Simon Kay said: “It will be about fun and exercise for a new generation.”
The game may come with an interactive pole says the company, who also make a pole-dancing kit featuring Baywatch babe Carmen Electra.
Mr Kay added: “With classes springing up in gyms across Europe and the US, the number of women seeking the body-sculpting and fat-burning effects of this aerobic form of exercise has never been greater.
“The goal is to encourage men and women of all shapes and sizes to improve their pole dancing skills while having fun, toning up and burning calories.”
The finished game would need Nintendo approval before it could hit the shelves.
It comes on the back of the popular Wii fit exercise game – in which people stand on a pressure-sensitive board and play games to improve fitness, strength and balance.

So, can anyone see this actually appearing on shelves? I can't, but stranger things have happened.
I'm sure if a woman (or a guy) wanted to learn to pole dance for whatever reason, they'd go to an instructor rather than buy this for their Wii, wouldn't they?
I can see 14 year old boys buying it just to watch the grinding and girrating of the on screen instructor, through. Assuming there will be one.
