On Christmas morning, little Kolton Mahoney tore away the wrapping paper on Uncle Dan's gift, ecstatic to find a copy of Madden 07. But it wasn't the familiar "It's in the game" mantra that greeted Kolton upon loading the game into the tray of his Xbox 360. Instead, an explicit image danced before his naked eyes.Confused, distraught, and perhaps overwhelmingly excited, Kolton ran to mommy and daddy, who quickly passed the concern over to the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. "It wasn't a pretty scene," recounted Kolton's father.
So far, the task force has been unable to track down the culprit of this cruel gag. The soiled Madden was apparently purchased by Uncle Dan on Dec. 2 from Circuit City. The disc is embossed with an official label and came factory-sealed in a standard game case.

It's funny that someone with access to the real XBox discs thought of this though. I wonder how many more are out there.

This world is getting worse and worse. If I were his age I would have kept it. The only thing that will save this kid's shame right now is if it was gay porn or something. Otherwise he's ranked up there with the kid who slept with his teacher and told on her.

There will be no NFL2K10

Prob the kid cooked up the story to explain why there was a porn DVD in the 360. Teens with porn? No way!
Smells fishy to me. New in box with seals? Bought at Circuit City? I could buy maybe EB or Gamestop- where it was a used copy that was re-shrinkwrapped, but CC is what causes me to be suspect.

Well said. EA should be shut down. They've ruined all sports games and they need to pay for their sins.

Best line of the article. Because I usually think to myself when watching porn, "Nope, this is not Madden, this is not a 80 yeard old or something football announcer, those are definetly lesbians... yeah definetly lesbians."

' "This is definitely not Madden," he said recalling his first thought after seeing the image. '
Best. Quote. Ever.

Let's see, Madden costs $60, porn can be found by anyone with an internet connection with little effort for free.
He's a kid that knows his fiscal options.

So it would appear that this was a mistake at the DVD pressing plant.
The number of labels on one batch of discs didn't match the number of discs...
Why is absolutely necessary to find out if "charges of providing pornography to a child can be filed" and make sure that "Somebody should be held accountable."?!?
Why are these people so litigious and thin skinned?
Surely the -14 year old boy- will recover soon...and likely go on his own hunt for porn. (oh, but who will he blame when he's caught with it)

"The Mahoneys have been in contact with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force sponsored by the Utah Attorney General's Office"
explains why he ran to his parents he's from Utah... as those crazy lds.

You think that a worker at EA is responsible? Are you serious?
We're not talking Hot Coffee here, this was a disc with the wrong label and packaging.
How would only ONE disc come out of the press with porn on it?
Do you understand the processes involved here?

So it took a week for this story to get out? Riiiiiiiight.
Not only do I question this kids' story, I question his sexuality, as well. If he took it straight to his parents...
But here's how the story probably REALLY wen't down - the kid hid it under his matteress for a week. He breaks it out to slap his monkey, his mom or dad walks in, he's caught (literally) red-handed. End of story.

Anyway, the Big Box stores are ridiculously easy to do this to. A friend of mine back when I was in college (before we started putting 20 in front of the year.) bought a copy of Comman & Conquer...only to find it was a label someone printed over a applications CD for some art college.
Thief keeps the game, gets his money back, and if he paid in cash, he's in the clear.

luckily I don't play madden. or spend 70+$ CDN on games. but still, its not exactly something to get excited about, now if there was an extra disk crammed in there, with porn on it, I would be quite pleased :D.

Mass-produced discs aren't burnt, they are pressed. Imagine how long it would take to burn 100,000 discs. Burning also would lead to more errors and a higher energy consume.
I wonder how long it took until he ran to mommy.

Do you know if they "press" the data onto the DVD at the exact same moment they "electrostatically fuse" (or whatevs) the label on it? That's my point.

I'm sure his dad's a Windows Media Connect expert and linked his collection to every TV in the house.

Worker swaps a Madden disc off the line with his burnt porno DVD before it goes to get "silk screened".
The only part is the article doesn't say if it was just a still image or a movie.
