Lost and Damned DLC Includes Male Nude Scene

The launch of Rockstar's long-awaited downloadable episode The Lost and Damned brings with it many new firsts. This marks the first time that the company has experimented with such large-scale downloadable content for one of its games. It is also the first time that fans of the GTA series will be able to play the game as the leader of a biker gang, when usually were are reduced to carrying out fetch quests for the various gangs that populate the city. And finally, The Lost and Damned also features the first male nude scene ever to grace a mainstream video game.

That's right, during a cutscene partway through the downloadable episode, players will be treated to a passing glipmse of another characters digital wang. The scene takes place when protagonist Johnny Klebitz first encounters a new character, Congressman Thomas Stubbs. The aptly-named Mr. Stubbs has just received a back massage from an unknown lady, and launches into his conversation with Klebitz before bothering to cover his junk.
