The powers that be over at 30 Rock (namely Tina Fey) have finally revealed the title for their “world’s first” porn video game.  The title?  Gorgasim: The Legend of Dong Slayer.  Yes, it has a that certain catchy vibe that just never lets you forget it once you’ve heard it–no matter how hard you try.
