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.


61. While I agree that this was wrong, I still don't see why so many people have to act like the human body is really so evil. I would have laughed at this. It is good the kid told his parents, but nudity is NOT pornograghy. If it had shown people engaging in sexual acts, I might agree. Seeing a naked human body is such a major taboo in socity, yet no one seems to complain about their child playing doom and blasting alien guts everywhere. Why is that? Especially when every High School student is exposed to the nude human body at some point in Biology class. Unless the kid is going to a religious school, where they are taught that the human body is evil, despite the fact they believe in some higher power who created it.
