LAYTON -- Christmas became XXX-mas for a 14-year-old Layton boy who discovered hard-core pornography on a video game he received as a gift.

Kolton Mahoney was shocked when he put the Madden NFL 07 game in his new Xbox 360 console Christmas day and an explicit image popped up on his television screen.

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

Kolton turned off the Xbox and notified his parents, Linda and Tim Mahoney, who viewed the video game and were equally stunned.

" It wasn' t a pretty scene," Tim Mahoney said.

The Mahoneys have been in contact with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force sponsored by the Utah Attorney General' s Office, which will attempt to determine how porn ended up on the video game, Lt. Rhett McQuiston, an investigator with the agency said Friday.

" We' ll get rolling on it," he said. The incident may be the first of its kind in Utah, he said. " If somebody is doing this, we want to stop it."

The task force will work with Layton police and California authorities to determine who may be responsible for placing the smut on the computer game, so charges of providing pornography to a child can be filed, McQuiston said.

" The hard part will be finding out who did it," he said. " We' ll give it a shot. I would go through the roof if this happened to my kid. Whoever did this is a complete and utter coward."

Kolton received the video game from his uncle, Dan Mahoney, who purchased it Dec. 2 at a Circuit City store in Modesto, Calif. The game appears to be authentic, is embossed with a Madden NFL 07 label and came in a factory-sealed case, Linda Mahoney said.

The Madden NFL 07 game is manufactured by Electronic Arts, based in Redwood City, Calif. Officials with the company did not return numerous phone calls seeking comment.

EA has sold more than 5 million copies of Madden NFL 07, making it the most popular video game of the year, according to a news release on the company' s Web site, www.ea.com.

Stephanie Nightlinger, a spokeswoman for Circuit City based in Richmond, Va., said company officials were unaware of the problem with the Mahoneys' video game until contacted Friday by the Standard-Examiner.

Nightlinger said to her knowledge the company has not received similar consumer complaints about Madden NFL 07 or other video games it sells, but will investigate the incident.

" There was some sort of slip up somewhere," she said.

The Mahoneys have contacted representatives with EA and at the Circuit City store where the game was bought, but no one is taking responsibility for the problem.

" The buck' s being passed," Tim Mahoney said. " Somebody should be held accountable."

The Mahoneys aren' t looking for a financial settlement, and only want a new Madden NFL 07 video game and a guarantee that no more games containing porn are sold. " We don' t want anyone else exposed to it," Linda Mahoney said.

" We don' t want anyone else exposed to it" - Must be fucking Christians!

Firstly, I know what I' d rather have running on the screen between Madden and porn.

But nonetheless, this is just bollocks. What does " on the game" mean? They don' t make clear until near the end of the article whether the game disc has been swapped or whatever, and to be honest I am still puzzled. It can' t be anything to do with EA. Everyone in the article seems clueless and so does the writer. It wouldn' t surprise me if it' s completely made up out of boredom. How the hell are you gonna get a facotry sealed game with official looking disc with falsified content on it is beyond me. This family probably just needs money and is looking to sue someone.

" on the game" . fucking please.

I think the kid was Bishonen, ...he' s 14 and gay too...

lmfao.

Okay so if this is a computer game how come the kid in the picture is holding an xbox 360 game?

Now it all makes sense.

DUmb Americans stop buying EA games,you retards.

The web seems to be filled with bullshit this days, first the SONY rep " on purpose" thing and now this.

Must be fucking Christians!

I' m sure you don' t mean any bad by this, but it could be took the wrong way by some people.

Regarding the topic. I agree with Adam Doree, in that it' s just seemingly a family looking to line their pockets. As soon as I read it, I didn' t believe it!

That child should' ve been taught that Porn is the single most important discovery for the Human species! Fire is the second, and Videogames is the third.
(Only joking)

If it happened to me, I' d keep my mouth shut and enjoy the fun. Who wants a Madden game anyway, no wonder EA is so rich, the consumers are idiots. It' s prolly what Adam said though, it doesn' t even make sense. Why would anyone bring a copy of a Porn movie to the factory and put it in the box instead of the game itself.

if i bought a game and got porn, id be pissed, unless it was a porn game then id be happy ofcourse, but paying 50$ for porn when i can get it for free on the net would suck,

Nobody replied because it was pathetic. VX is married, you just need to find a girlfriend.

Just to correct you Majik, in Utah they would be Mormons, so...

FUCKING MORMONS!!!. I don' t know about you, but when I was 14 and I got porn for Christmas, it would have been the best god damn Christmas ever.

I mean, if I' m playing Gears for hours what a way to take a break by putting in my Madden 07 (heh, heh, heh) for some good ol fashion...... TITTIES!!!!!

It' s fairly obvious to see now that the boy is gay, which is OK, but nonetheless he is gay.

MAN RULE #1: IF YOUR 14 AND YOUR UNCLE GIVES YOU PORN FOR CHRISTMAS, DON' T TELL YOUR PARENTS!!!!!!!

IF YOUR 14 AND YOUR UNCLE GIVES YOU PORN FOR CHRISTMAS, DON' T TELL YOUR PARENTS!!!!!!!

Nah, the kid was straight. What they don' t mention in the article is that it was GAY pron. Look at it, it never once says that the image was that of women...





So lets rephrase, " IF YOUR 14 AND YOUR GAY UNCLE GIVES YOU GAY PORN FOR CHRISTMAS, DON' T TELL YOUR PARENTS!!!!!!! THEY ALREADY KNOW HE SWINGS THAT WAY!!!!!!!"

MAN RULE #1: IF YOUR 14 AND YOUR UNCLE GIVES YOU PORN FOR CHRISTMAS, DON' T TELL YOUR PARENTS!!!!!!!

Girl rule#1: IF YOUR 14 AND YOUR UNCLE GIVES YOU PORN FOR CHRISTMAS, BE SURE TO TELL YOUR PARENTS!!!!!!!!


Dirty man

Funny but disturbing. Who wants a relative to give them porn.
