Hot Coffee Makes List of Dumbest Business Moments

Posted by Zonk on Thursday January 26, 2006 @11:47AM from the that-was-pretty-stupid dept.

Via Next Generation a list of 2005's Dumbest Business Moments, which rightly lists the Hot Coffee debacle as one of those ignoble icons. From the article: "In June a Dutch programmer releases software that lets players of Take-Two Interactive's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas access sexually explicit content left in the game's source code by its developers. Already marked 'Mature' for 'blood and gore, intense violence, strong language, strong sexual content, and use of drugs,' the game gets rerated 'Adults Only,' causing Target and Wal-Mart to pull it from stores. Take-Two's quarterly revenues fall $40 million short of projections."

Yeah, I'm sure that Hot Coffee was an example of a husband and a wife making love in order to conceive a child.
Get over yourself. You know what it was and why it's more dangerous to impressionable young people than outlandish violence is.
