    Arrow Fox News Challenges EA Over Mass Effect Explicit Sex

    Fox News has challenged EA to an on-air monkey court in efforts to expose the naked truth about Mass Effect’s in-game sexual content. Don’t light that cigarette just yet, the controversy over the new hit Xbox 360 game hasn’t yet reached its climax.

    It's rather typical of the news media not to bother with fact checking anymore.

    I read the comments of that conservative blogger last week. I was wondering what game he was talking about. I've played through Mass Effect 3 times and it's strictly PG-13 fare.

    I saw the piece on Fox news and they gave equal time to both sides of the issue. I'm sure this writer believes CBS and CNN are unbias and fair (because they share his leftist view) even though CBS's Dan Rather was finally caught creating documents to support his marxist agenda and the CNN C.E.O. admitted to pro Saddam news coverage to gain access to Iraq prior and during the war? I'll take Fox's news coverage on any topic over anything this guy watches. I bet the same guy who would defend this game, would be mad as hell if some nut was to act out the theme of this game on his wife or daughter.

    Have you even played the game? The full on nudity they speak of is a blue butt cheek and the shape of a breast. Family guy has way more nudity than this game.

    You're unaware of the Muslim-Marxist-Leninist movement to inundate our children's (and adult's) minds with pure fodder and fancy?

    No. Thank you. That's an entertaining quick read. Some of us hardcores around here need a little nudging every now and then to see the quips and humor. Thanks for the read!

    Whew... it was off the deep end.

    For the record - I do not mean to 'attack' Fox News per-se. I will equally make fun of any mainstream news outlets that covers something they obviously don't understand (ie. video games) as "evil".

    I'm sure CNN is capable of doing the same thing. All these mainstream so-called 'news' networks are just entertainment, cellophane titillation for its audience, this Fox piece was no different.

    It's scary to me that there might really be people that believe there is a legitimate moral/social philosophy behind your choice in news network. What's next - ideological fast food burgers?
