"CBS TV have used the incident as an example of how paedophiles groom children for sex using Internet games"

It's an ass! That's it... sometime's i really hate how the media spin things.
Personally, if someone got me with a "takedown" and his ass popped up on screen it would give me a chuckle.

1.1 - Bubbles for you Mighty
That is just crazy. If it's that bad I'm at the point where I'm ready to say Parents shouldn't let children under 16 play games online at all. There's just no way to police everything said/done and it's just going to result in games getting overtly censored.

Since when did mooning your opponent ever become "sexual" when taunting them?!

This world does not make sense any more. There are just TOO many idiots out there now.

I am a father and I would just like to say that in this context there is no reason for such an outrage.

Now if this guy had gone on MSN or something and emailed my daughter that picture then I would be concerned.

1.7 - @ Violater
WHen I have kids I will make sure they're involved in no online games because of the high frequency of racism. A butt being shown is nothing worse than what you see on MTV or in the WWE. Stop the madness. If you can't monitor what your children are doing then don't let them do it. Plain and simple. I had a girlfriend who let her son watch Family Guy because she thought it was just a cartoon. The kid was 3 btw. I showed her an episode and that was the end of that. Parents choose to remain ignorant then Parents have no one to blame but themselves.

Kids under 30 are still wondering where all their bodyhair comes from, it has to be shown to the public in any way possible.

The only reason why PSN seems better is because there are less people with mics than XBL when usually everybody has one.

PSN is not more mature,XBL is not more mature, N4G is not more mature, it's the internet, there are idiots everywhere.

Gross but funny if not 12yo.
Anyway i think the story is wrong about the 'sending' the picture. Isn't it shot while online or by surprise? dunno how it works as i don't have cam, yet :D

This was inevitable. Who else saw this happening as soon as this feature was announced for Burnout? Also, I'd like to point out that the 360 version has this exact same feature, so is inevitable we'll see some idiot be claiming, once again, the XBL is a pedophile breeding ground.

See, it's people doing dumb sh!t like this that makes developers pull features from games.

Don,t know what they get out of it its not like Sony gives them a cookie for slanting the opposition. OR DO THEY???!?

On the real iv'e played on live many a time and no perverts yet but they may still be out there lurking in dark alleways in cod4 or remote section of burnout paradise Lol.

If Sony + MS really wanted to eliminate these incidents they could simply not produce and release a camera for their systems. Since they have both released a camera, these events are all but guaranteed to occur.

The real question is, how will this be dealt with?

It's not safe. I even saw someone make a Hitler Mii on the Wii for the Check Mii Out channel under princesses. Offensive material always finds a way.

Parents who allow their kids to play online are at fault.

Overall the feature is pretty cool. Its only expected that some stupid guy would be losing to a 12 yr old and act immature and offensive. This guy better hope he doesn't get put in jail.

LMAO classic some people are just to sensitive. needless to say if i had a camera and that game there would be a fair few more outraged people hahahaha.

Whats wrong with a bit of harmless taunting its just two cheeks at the end of the day. Anyone that has seen the horrific video that is two women one cup will know what im talking about.

I wish they had this feature in COD4. I can't stand having my headset on and hearing the inpubesent ranting of 12 yr olds playing music and cussing. the whole time I am just yelling "M! For Mature, go to BED!" I would be Mooning everyone on that game. PARENTS, Please don't let your kids play M or T games online, and if they have a PS3 don't buy them a bluetooth headset, believe me no one wants to hear your kid cursing and repeating mindless jabber while playing a Mature only game. They are almost as bad as the Racist peace of crap gamers yelling out their hate for Blacks and Jews (if only I could reach through the screen with a gun!).
