Well I tried it on the computer that CM7K works on after someone told me how to
do it. So it looks like apart from doing their job, which should be creating a
program that works fine, they would rather spend their time programming this
disgraceful thing into their program. Which is nothing special, but not needed,
unless you are some sick perv.

This from Matel, mainly a children's company, I wonder what kind of agenda they
have allowing this. Pretty pathetic.

My copy was bought from a store, not hacked, nor copied, not edited.

Maybe someone should ask these programmers what they were thinking, we all know
that eventually this will be put on the net on games sits.
