Florida Child Gets New PSP... Complete With Porn



As is the case with so many parents, one woman in the Tampa Bay area recently thought it would be a great idea to give her son a new Sony PSP as a late Christmas gift. She had no way of knowing how wrong she would wind up being.

Six-year-old Eliso Tovar had just turned on his new, prized possession when a picture of a naked woman appeared on the screen, My Fox Tampa Bay reported Sunday. Eliso, who was afraid that he would be in trouble, ran to his mother crying. Tamatha Tovar was shocked when she found hundreds of pornographic pictures on a memory card inside the PSP. Stunned and upset, Tovar called the Wal-Mart where she had purchased the game system. She later told the TV reporter, "I explained the situation and [the manager's] response was, well bring the machine down and we'll let your son pick out a new game. And I was like, no I don't think you heard what I said."

The most likely scenario is that someone returned the PSP to the Wal-Mart store having left their own illicit-image-filled data card in the system. Either way, you can bet that this is a late Christmas gift that little Eliso, and his entire family, will never forget. Hey, at least it wasn't Ecstasy! [From: My Fox Tampa Bay]




Are These Games Too Sexy?

    While recent game titles have attracted media attention for nudity and sexual situations, risque role-playing games have existed since PC gaming first began. Early games, such as 'Sex Games' for the Commodore 64, demanded specific commands, such as "remove pants," and required specific sequential actions to achieve one's nefarious goals. Currently, a plethora of games with bawdy scenes have invaded, or graced, the gaming world and vary in degrees of lewdness. Here are a few significant titles with prevalent or graphic bawdiness:

    'God of War I & II:'
    Press the right buttons, and gently twirl the thumbstick, to see the climax of mini-games in both God of War I and II for PS2 and PSP

    'Grand Theft Auto III (consoles)'
    The infamous "don't come a knockin'" prostitute scenes created a stir when GTA 3 was originally released for PS2.

    'Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude; Box Office or Bust' (for consoles):
    These most recent incarnations continue to follow the exploits of love lorn Larry in versions for both PC and next gen consoles

    'Leisure Suit Larry 3: Passionate in Pursuit of the Pulsating Pectorals' (for PC)
    Released in 1989 for PCs, this third installment of the groundbreaking franchise of risque role playing preceded GTA 4 by 20 years when the title character shows the full Larry in an infamous shower scene

    'Mass Effect:'
    The backlash from FoxNews greatly exaggerated the tame innuendo and implied relations between the two sapphic lovers in Xbox's Mass Effect.

    'Playboy: The Mansion' (consoles):
    Disappointingly demure, perhaps the highlight of this sojourn to the mansion is playing photographer in this release for PC, PS2 and Xbox

    'Rapelay:'
    Amazon removed listings for this disturbing, yet readily available in Japan, DVD-ROM in which the main character stalks and, to put it mildly, torments young girls.

    'The Sims;' nude patch:
    Denisons of young gamers were disappointed when learning that unblurred nudity in this game for PCs, consoles, and handhelds required downloading a censor patch

    'Soul Calibur' (consoles):
    The character Taki from the Soul Calibur franchise continues to titillate thousands of pubescent gamers in versions for every console.
