We're not really sure what sort of proof is required (a sex tape? A voicemail? Dirty pictures?), or what her contract would entail—but then again, Vivid probably doesn't either. Who needs a well thought out business plan when you can get tons of publicity off some half-baked porn contract promise you'll never have to follow up on?

We also figured it was probably not the "Bree Olson, psycho pornstar" story that was being circulated by the staff of the "Bubba The Love Sponge Show" (who, incidentally, happened to be responsible for Bree's meltdown). So we waited to hear her side of the story.

It seems that Bree was the victim of an immature prank—one that began when the show decided to prank a "dumb porn whore" into giving a handjob to a man pretending to be blind, and escalated when they proceeded to document (and distribute) Bree's rage at learning that she'd been set up to be made a fool of.

Until this week, we'd never heard of the "Bubba The Love Sponge" show—and if we had, we'd be boycotting it right now. The disrespect that these people showed towards Bree, both before, during, and after her appearance on their program, is disgusting and unprofessional—and we're happy to see that Bree is letting everyone know the truth about her "meltdown."

So why did they bring the suit in the first place? Good question! One of the lawyers involved said that people should not have to be surprised by sex in an otherwise innocent video game—even if that "surprise" is impossible since one had to willfully download and install the mod in order to see the dirty stuff. It wasn't made, sold or endorsed by the company that was sued, and there was no doubt what the modification was for. Yet, even if it Take Two Interactive fully meant for this animated porn to appear in the game, why would so few of the millions of customers who bought a copy be offended enough to file a claim (even taking into account that half of those folks probably just wanted the free money anyway?) Maybe because the goal of the game is to rob, beat and murder anyone who stands your way in order to become the greatest professional criminal in the city. Who cares if you see some boobs along the way?

The one thing games and porn have in common is that people use them to act out fantasies that can't happen—and that you probably wouldn't even want to happen—in real life. As violent and sexy as they can be, they're completely harmless for the most part—and the kind of gamer who enjoys running over police officers probably wouldn't be too put out by a little animated nudity. And we don't have to remind everyone once again that while extreme violence is routinely overlooked in pretty much all media, the merest hint of sex sends certain people screaming for the hills. Those same people think everyone else will follow—but as the results of this lawsuit show, they won't.

(Oh, by the way, the lawyers who brought the suit are looking to collect around $1.3 million in legal fees for their trouble. The 2,676 claim holders combined will receive less than $30,000.)
