Hot Coffee? No Hot Coughing

Silver Mirror | 10 days 2 hours ago | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
Remember the Hot Coffee scandal which surrounded San Andreas? It involved a hidden bit of code which if hacked allowed the user to play a sex mini game with your girlfriend after you took them out on a date. After much work a similar thing has been found in GTA IV. A secret mission titled Hot Coughing and starring someone who bares a uncanny resemblance to one of our favourite lawyers... Jack Thompson
Those clever hackers have done it again! Hacker group VladsBoys’ analysis of the pirated copy of GTA IV for the 360 (leaked days before retail release) has reeled in a big one. The cyber-sleuths knew they were on the trail of something big and yes, you guessed it, they found another never-intended-for-retail-consumption chunk of code in a GTA game.
What the hackers found seems to be an abandoned mission that Rockstar at some point intended on including in the game. We have no idea how far into the process this mission got before it was pulled, but we’re pretty sure they knew what they were doing by the mission name… that name was Hot Coughing.

    ROFL.

    Hot coughing. Lol. Probably goes like this;

    [insert employer here] wants Niko to "take out" A Massive video game critic named Thompson jack. Pick him up in your limo, park it on 4th street, and then do any means neccessary to "take him out".

    Items given for this mission: Every damn weapon in this game. Plus, a rocket propelled chainsaw.

      Best comment of the day right there.

      "Plus, a rocket propelled chainsaw."

      Someone should get a gold cast of that quote.

    Rockstar is absolutely brilliant.

    Can't wait until they reconstruct it and put it up on Youtube.

      Keep waiting... just don't hold your breath whilst you wait... or you may reach heaven/hell whilst waiting (sooner than if you didn't hold your breath).

    ROFL! Jerk Thompson. Hahaha!!! So, how do they go about unlocking this? Is it only on the XBOX360, coz PS3s cannot run hacked ISOs?
    Wonder whether this mission would be there on Youtube.
