South Park Triggered PlayStation Recall

In 1999, Electronic Arts recalled 100,000 PlayStation copies of "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 99" after an employee apparently hid an uncensored South Park short on the disc. Players could not access the 1995 "Jesus vs. Santa" video through normal gameplay, but inserting the disc into a computer revealed it as a QuickTime file named "ZZDUMMY.DAT." EA called the unauthorized clip "objectionable to consumers" and replaced the affected discs with versions that removed it.
