How a room full of guys and one joke created a big controversy and a video game that made nobody happy.

Playing BMX XXX is mostly like playing every other action sports game: You ride your bike around a level, do tricks, and score as many combos as possible. In the early 2000s, this was nothing new. Thanks to the popularity of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, action sports games were the thing. The only difference is, in BMX XXX, game characters are not famous BMX pros, they're sometimes naked women.

In addition to pulling off tricks, players do things like helping a constipated construction worker get "the poop loose," or listen to a horny Mormon missionary talk about how much he wants to go down on a giant inflatable woman. If they play their cards right, they might get rewarded with a live action video of a woman stripping to 311's "Down."

Today, it's hard to imagine how a video game like BMX XXX would get pitched, approved, funded, and developed for months, without someone involved stopping for a second and saying, "Hey, this might be a dumb, offensive idea." It's even harder to imagine a large game publisher would think it was a good idea to funnel millions of dollars into. It's almost impossible to believe it not only came out, but came out uncensored on Nintendo's GameCube.

But it happened. BMX XXX is a real video game that was published in 2002 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube, and it was a complete disaster. It was a game that made nobody happy.
