Pornographic content found in Running Scared game by New Line Cinema

The National Institute on Media and the Family today issued its second National Parental Alert due to the sexually explicit content on an online video game. Parents need to be aware of explicit pornography in an online game easily accessible to children readily available on the Internet.

The game is part of the promotional effort for Running Scared a movie being released Friday, February 24th. The Institute calls on NewLine Cinema to immediately remove this game from its website.

"It is clear to everyone that this content shouldn't be accessible to children," said Dr. David Walsh. "New Line Cinema, should be ashamed that it thought it could get away with this tactic, without being held accountable."

Talk to other parents about this games and get involved in this issue.
