Wow... just wow.

Typical Conservative Religious bullshit from Fox news.

I was amazed at how insane the misinformation about Mass Effect is. The "sex" in the game is literally a naked upper back and a fade-out. An episode of 90210 has more skin than Mass Effect.

Goddamn uninformed retards.

I hate these arguments. Sure a kid comes home alone and can pop in a game but whose saying he couldn't pop in a movie with sex in it as well?

Quite stupid

Fox "News" has always had trouble with video games. Ironic that they would focus on sex this time, since they basically are a porn network.

I'm actually fucking disgusted with the general public who are more worried about their kids seeing fake movie sex than they are with them seeing incredibly gratuitous fake violence.

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?

Oh he's just mad that he's not the one that contrived the controversy this time.

Quoted for truth.

Honestly, if this shows anything, it's that video game companies should be spending money to educate the press about the steps they take to protect youth.

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.

KillerGremlin · 01-29-2008, 10:42 AM

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.

manasecret · 01-29-2008, 11:38 AM

Wait... Bush apologized for that?

KillerGremlin · 01-29-2008, 03:22 PM

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

manasecret · 01-29-2008, 03:28 PM

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