“At first I thought it was a joke,” he said. “Maybe it will come off. But when I started getting into it and started to erase it and couldn’t, the more I thought about it, the madder I got.”
#1 why would you think it would just "come off"?
#2 how dumb would you have to be to not be able to delete it- if he figured out how to go to the themes and put it on why couldn't he just go "delete theme"?

Kids are growing up so fast. It makes me feel proud. (Slow theatrical tear drops from left eye)

This reminds me of the woman who got the PSP for her kid and it was loaded with porn and she got all pissy at the store like they were trying to singlehandedly sabotage the innoncence of American youth with a lil' bit o' bittsecks.
"It’s something that’s not meant to be seen by a child’s eye,"
wait, wut?
Does the kid know he has a cock of his own?

Gonna have to disagree. If I buy something that winds up exposing my hypothetical children to pornography, I'd be absolutely furious. Sure, you can say "it's just a penis, they're gonna see one eventually", but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let my kids go watch porn. At least, not at thirteen and younger. There's a difference between seeing your own penis and another person's- presumably an adult's- penis, and I'm shocked none of you would be upset it that scenario.

What I think is the far worst tragedy out of this story is the fact that they had to take the PSP back to the store to get it removed. This is the fucking 21st century for fuckssake.

Other than Chronic Logic (who I don't think is insinuating a child should watch porn in the first place) where are getting this idea that anyone here is condoning a child watching porn?
I think most of us are flabbergasted that between the father and the older brother neither of them know how to fucking format a PSP. It's pretty easy. Go to Format PlayStation Portable in Settings.

@SilversunFrenzy - or hey, maybe the dad could have done his job and checked out the used PSP he bought before gifting it?
Alright, I'll take a picture of my penis and show it to your ten year-old kid. There's nothing wrong with that and he shouldn't be offended because he has a dick of his own.
Unless he's a weird kid, I'm sure he's seen a cock before. I mean, he has one. Sure, it doesn't mean it should be on a PSP, but its not like it'll fucking scar him for life or something.
And if it does, the parents can always sue, right!?

All those people who are making the argument that the 10-year-old has a dick of his own: you really comparing your own cocks to a prepubescent child's?
I, for one, am proud that my own genitalia would stun anyone at that age into awed silence, and probably do the same for most people twice as old... ...wait what are we talking about again?
Seriously, though: I could understand how Daddy is techologically illiterate and dumb enough to take this to TV, but how the hell can't the older brother figure out how to erase that picture?

Isn't the real moral of the story here, "Don't be a dick and buy used games/gaming devices for Christmas presents?"
I dunno, giving other people used stuff - unless its like really mega-rare and impossible to find in any other form - just doesn't seem right.

I bet you this will be the kind of family that have unprotected wi-fi, which means little Kade will be on RedTube quicker than you can say bukkake.
I'm mostly shocked that the store that sold the PSP (and presumably bought it used) never turned it on to make sure it worked. Surely if they had done that they would have seen the penis and done something about it.
@DeadHead8 They did. It wasn't the currently active background image and they neglected to check for others.
I'm bothered by two things. 1, the store should have checked the PSP and cleaned it before sale. 2, the store should have replaced the PSP with a new PSP not just given a free game.
@Conrad
Well I guess policy should be changed and they should just reformat all used game systems with hard drives. I personally agree with the people who would be pissed if this happened to them.

I don't even care about the porn, I'm worried about the fact that the shop doesn't seem to wipe consoles which may contain crap. Porn is bad, I wouldn't want the kid to find that. I also wouldn't want the kid to find a copy of say, Def Jam Vendetta, Fight for New York in digital form. Not because of gang references, the game's just crap.
Meh, I bought a used 360 harddrive from my local Blockbusters and it was full to bursting with porn and 'gansgta-rap' (I'm down with those hip kids G).
I was pissed but then I though - hey free porn!
But seriously retailers need to learn to wipe the damn things before reselling. It's common sense more than anything.

@DaedHead8 unless it is a pspgo it doesn't have internal memory, it would have been loaded into the flash and you would have to go to the themes and delete it

Too be the Internet makes finding free porn so less satisfying.
I found free porn in a box of old records and I was like "Hey look free...oh fuck it I has Internet." The Internet ruins everything.

Not meant to be seen by a child's eye? He himself has a dick for God's sake. Better cut it off or else he'll accidentaly see it in the bathroom mirror.
ive had games traded in to me that had porno dvds stuffed into the instruction manual. the best part is waving it around for everyone to see saying "uh, you still want this bro?"
When I worked at Gamestop, it wasn't entirely uncommon to switch on various systems and find porn which was entirely why we formatted every last thing. And formatting literally takes only a few minutes. It's not that hard, man.
That said, I'd actually be pretty upset to get a psp for Christmas, turn it on, and find a strange man's penis on the screen. At the very least, it would take some of the goodness out of Christmas. Or possibly add to it if I were a different kind of person.

OK, let me get this straight. a parent got mad because his little boy MAY HAVE gazed upon a penis...
Uh... I hate to break this to the parent and child but this is what the child sees when he goes the the bathroom EVERY DAY... Imagine how using the lavatory would be if you were restricted from looking at yourself? Man I'd hate to clean that bathroom.

I'm curious to know who actually has a penis for a background on their PSP.
Wait, maybe I don't wanna know...

I'm pretty sure somtehing almost exactly like this happened the year before.
However I see what SilversunFrenzy is saying, and I can agree with that.

Mature or otherwise, I'd be mad as hell if I'd open my newly-bought 2nd-hand PSP with a wang for a background. In the end, despite today's sexual norms, I want my kid to be a sensible person who should enjoy his/her first decade of life enjoying simpler things. What the father said may be poorly phrased but he has a pretty valid reaction on the issue.
And oh, they're not "dumber" for not formatting the PSP on their own - they got a free game, right? :D

I'll be honest, I wouldn't want my hypothetical kid to get so excited, turn it on, and then WTF. It'd be akward..
But I would just say, "Okayyy...Remember this, don't buy used games..and don't tell Mommy." and take it and delete it.
Maybe Google how to delete it if you don't know.

I work in a game store in Eastern Nebraska, and, I swear to God, I had a moment when I read the headline and location and was convinced that I had sold the PSP to the guy. Even though the odds were still pretty small, I thought, "Shit, I'm in some trouble now."
He was given a free game? I suddenly have the urge to go take a pic of my penis, put it on a PSP I buy at Gamestop and claim it was from the previous user...kind of like what I suspect this family did.
Wait wait wait. The PSP came with a free penis background, and they're complaining? Sometimes I just don't understand people.
