X-rated 'GTA: San Andreas': Hack or Easter egg?
Graphic sexual content that appears in a popular video game is giving family advocates a new reason to be offended. In the sex-and-violence-themed game ``Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas,'' the main character tries to avenge the murder of his mother in the gang-ridden streets of his hometown -- and picks up women along the way.
The sexual content, which fills in what publisher RockStar Games left to the imagination in the versions sold in stores -- was either ``unlocked'' by game enthusiasts who discovered it in Rockstar's code, or introduced by inventive third-party hackers.
That content has irked The National Institute on the Media and the Family, a Minneapolis-based group that issued a nationwide parental alert Friday denouncing the game and its creator.
``While San Andreas is already full of violent behavior and sexual themes, the pornographic sex scenes push it over the edge,'' David Walsh, the group's founder, said Friday.
