If You Watch Those Blithering Idiots at FOX News, and Believe That They've Actually Researched a Story, Then You Are In Fact a Blithering Idiot
I'm disgusted. I have never seen a more blatant one sided discussion in a news story than I did when I watched this bullshit Fox News story on the videogame Mass Effect. And then I remembered that all Fox News stories I have ever seen accidentally are bullshit. I say accidentally, because I would never go out of my way to watch Fox News, but I have been places where it has been on. The only person that makes sense in the following video is the guy from Spike TV...the only person here who has actually PLAYED the friggin game and knows anything about it. Everyone else just wants to hear themselves spew mindless bullshit.
Mass Effect is a fantastic storytelling experience that can be played by a man or a woman, playing the character of a man or a woman as the hero. That's the FIRST CHOICE. It is not sexist...it does not demean women. Ask Katharine...she's practically played it twice. After you choose your character, the game is carried on as a choose your own adventure story (as it is described by that sensible Spike TV guy...unfortunately, his opinion is stepped all over by idiots). So what...it has that two minute sex scene (that barely shows ANYTHING), and it includes this scene as part of the story...a romance portion of the story...my character didn't wander into a porn shop looking for a quickie in the back room. They say this game will fall into the hands of unsuspecting children. If they're playing games or on the Internet without parental consent...then they're going to see SO MUCH WORSE than Mass Effect. As a matter of fact...watching Fox News is worse than playing Mass Effect because it fills the minds of children with LIES. Fox News can SUCK IT. This is why I don't watch the news...it's filled with unresearched mindless dribble. They should be ashamed of themselves referring to this game as "Luke Skywalker meets Debby Does Dallas"...they should be ashamed of themselves for calling their show a news show. SUCK IT Fox News. Good for you EA Games for speaking your mind against them (if you watched the video, please read the article).

Shit like this pisses me off more than I can even explain. When I was a teenager it was Heavy Metal music that was persona non grata and it would make me crazy to hear about how metal music caused violence and suicide, etc.. it never ended. Now it's video games. It's rated "M" for a reason, it's a "mature" game, not for young kids. And the sex scene they talk about, it's 2 minutes long and features mostly kissing - never mind the fact that it's only available if you have a RELATIONSHIP with the other character. No bed hopping in this game. As for the idea that it portrays women poorly and in a sexualized way, that's bullshit. If I had even an INKLING that women were portrayed in that way I wouldn't play it. And I would make Jeff's life hell if he played it because woman as brainless idiots is ANOTHER pet peeve of mine...My character was a woman, she was bad ass and SHE decided how the relationship went. I could go on and on but I was more than pissed by this "newscast".
I agree that Fox News is the worst in the nation. I cannot speak about their "news story" on Mass Effect because I didn't see it nor have I ever played the game, but I will say that they have a VERY biased approach when "reporting" political news!
