The next time you watch Sunday Night Football, imagine John Madden naked.
OK, don't do that. But imagine what you would do, if you were a parent, and the John Madden football video game you bought for your 14 year-old contained porn images on it. That's what happened this Christmas to the Mahoney family in Utah. They bought the Madden NFL 07 game at a Circuit City, and when their son put it into his Xbox 360 console, he saw something you don't usually see on the football field: naked people!
His first thought: "this is definitely not Madden."
He told his parents and they called Electronic Arts. They're investigating the incident. In the meantime, they gave him a new game for free. No word on which game he'd rather have.









21. It never ceases to amaze me how much we here in the U.S. are, in this day and age, STILL so uncomfortable about the naked human body. We waste WAY too much time and effort trying to hide something that EVERYONE has.
