From Coldforged, an N.C. blogger:
You’ve heard about it. Hell, your aging mother probably heard about it from the neighbors. The media and politicians are certainly up in arms about it. What is “it?” It’s the “hot coffee” mod for Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas of course, a hack that allows infants to view — hold yourself — polygons that look vaguely human doing things that look vaguely like sex acts. I know! It’s almost unconscionable!
Almost?

You must have one dang determined infant then. Number 1: that game is rated M (for Mature). So responsibility of parents to buy it for them. Number 2: If you get a hold of it, the modification is terribly complex. You’ll need a determined and smart little kid to pull it off. Old news, been on Joystiq for a while, but it’s ridiculous. Political witch hunt again.
Though it may not have been obvious, that was actually my point. This isn’t something that — when tired of beating cops over the head with baseball bats — one could just stumble across accidentally.
Acutally, I don’t play video games because I suck.
Slow reflexes and all.
I bet this kid could do it, though.
Being a MSCP doesn’t mean much imho. India has an 8 year old boy that is certified I believe. In any case, I’ve met many MSCP’s that couldn’t diagnose a Windows box to save their life. Really scares you when these are the same that work on your computers doesn’t it. Just my two cents though.
