Kid gets mooned on Burnout Paradise


So here is another one of those "blame videogames for screwing up our kids" kind of stories. This time, a British tween had the unfortunate run-in with a picture of a crude gamer's buttocks in Burnout Paradise. Apparently, the takedown pics that get swapped every time a player gets knocked out didn't feature the gamer's face, but his unlovable backside -- yes, the dimples were on the other cheeks.

You naughty Paradise players ... what are you guys doing? Seriously though, the kid isn't traumatized or anything like that but the story was picked up by CBS TV which linked the story with online pedophile practices -- something completely out of context with the issue at hand. The point here folks, don't go doing something so brash; your actions may be interpreted and misunderstood by others so much so that it may land you in trouble. Just keep it fun and clean. While this story would probably make parents more cautious about gaming, it isn't as bad as another recent controversy.
