I get people like that in my work all the time. Some woman complained that Shoot Em Up wasn't appropriate for her kid. I asked, "Because of everyone being killed?"

And she said "No, it had too much sex in it".

That just pisses me off.

At least sex in NATURAL for god sake. Murdering people is horrible yet parents are okay with their kids seeing it portrayed in movie constantly.

Can anybody explain this mentality to me?
Just curious how old was her kid?
I really only remember one or two sex scenes in that movie.

Anyhow the "Expert" has apologized for criticizing the game without ever playing it. This is what happens when the Nerd Herd mobolizes and destroys your amazon reviews. ;)

It really is sad that this happened in the first place. This made NATIONAL NEWS and yet NO ONE...

NO ONE

Checked a single fact for these rediculous stories. Not even the "experts" that argued against Cooper and others seemed to have actually seen the sexual content in question!! I just don't understand the mentality of being outraged over rumor and second hand heresay when common sense dictates you will make yourself to look like a fool.

Well, and it's easy to blame Fox news. But truth is that it happens all the time. Members of the press are woefully ignorant about the video game industry as a whole.

Bottom line is, Fox needs to issue an apology.

Cooper Lawrence apologized in an attempt to regain credibility...that's like Bush apologizing for not finding WMDs in Iraq. She's still lacks credibility and will always be known as the idiot that went on Fox and made up lies about games.

Wait... Bush apologized for that?

Now that I think about it...I don't think he did. Oh well, I guess he has more integrity than Cooper Lawrence :p

Nah I think it takes more integrity to own up to your mistakes than to never admit you were wrong.
