A while back ThePete posted about some intriguing easter eggs that could be found in the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which could be unlocked by gamers with the help of a downloadable mod called “Hot Coffee”. Hey, straight sex is swell, but this (found at the tail end of an otherwise innocuous sfgate.com article about the GTA naughtiness) sounds like it’s right up my alley:

One of the more curious hidden gems came in a game called SimCopter. A nefarious programmer designed some extra code in the game which allowed a player in-the-know to tap a sequence of buttons to reveal scantily clad men kissing each other.

Oh hell yeah.

Another bit from the article worth pointing out, actually, is the following remark from one David Walsh, founder of a group of professional hand-wringers called the National Institute on the Media and the Family:

Walsh said the “hot coffee” scenes are pornography by anyone’s definition, and called on Rockstar [Games, manufacturer of GTA] to “come clean” on whether they programmed the scenes into the game.

“This is about kids,” Walsh said. “Can you imagine the impact of 13-, 14- and 15-year-old boys literally enacting this scene?”

Yeah, because the thought of having sex with attractive women would never even cross a young man’s mind if he didn’t see it somewhere in THE MEDIA!
