Ok, this morning I was talking to my mom about the game 'Wet' and we realized that either the creators are the most oblivious people on the planet or they purposfully named there game with a double entendre, what do you think?

It's supposed to be referencing the term "Wetwork" as in assassinations involving blood on the hands, which can be quite wet.

I think they probably realised but chose to name it 'Wet' anyway for arts sake(wet work, blood on your hands... the blood of your ENEMIES!), regardless of how many people are going to think it's about a girl who's turned on, or a different kind of blood...

[EDIT]
Thinking about it again. Some people really need to get their minds out of the gutters. Seriously, it gets embarrassing, particularly when people older than me are acting like teenagers.

Oh my! You're right! I can't believe that a videogame would have a sleezy double entendre in it's name! Perhaps you should alert Jack Thompson, I'm sure he'd be interested in this. But whilst we're on the subject, i also have suspicions that Bayonetta stars a women who loses her clothes in battle. But they'd never sink that low, jeez.

Of course they knew what they were doing.

Which is why they have to clarify its meaning at the beginning of the game, with that whole "hands wet with blood" thing.

Ok, now I'm confused. Can you explain what Bayonetta is without the heavy sarcasm please?

Well A) I am a teenager and B)I know that it's meant to be about blood but I'm asking if using the double entendre was a mistake or if it was purposeful as a double entendre

Well, i'd advise you to look up some trailers and such to get a good idea of it. But basically it's a rubbish knock-off of Devil May Cry (which was already bad enough...) except instead of a wanker who loves himself almost as much as the devs do, the lead is a woman who, whilst fighting and getting good combo's, loses her clothing. The higher you get your combo, the more stark she becomes, but of course it's covered up by her magical growing hair.

OP just admit your failure and shuffle off.

on topic, wet is totally a double entendre, just like how that game black was racist commentary

They just shortened the word Wet Work [http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Wet_work]. Since the character, I have no clue what her name is, assassinates people.
