This happened in 2006, so it's the very definition of old news, but we're still kind of tickled pink about it, and that's not a euphemism.

Some kid in Utah opened up his Madden 2007 game on Christmas morning — strange, a kid in Utah not being Jewish — and found himself a happy surprise.

Kolton Mahoney was shocked when he put the Madden NFL 07 game in his new Xbox 360 console Christmas day and an explicit image popped up on his television screen. "This is definitely not Madden," he said recalling his first thought after seeing the image. Kolton turned off the Xbox and notified his parents, Linda and Tim Mahoney, who viewed the video game and were equally stunned. "It wasn't a pretty scene," Tim Mahoney said.

This is Utah, which means of course the scene involved necking. This is really just an excuse to use that instructional photo, which is a new and intriguing way to use the Wii.
