Fox Vs. Mass Effect

We've known for a while now that mainstream news outlets were hopelessly out of touch with the gaming culture of today, and now they have conclusively proven it. Last month there was a news story on Fox that criticized the alien sex scene in Mass Effect. OK, fine. That may be news worthy. But wait! Did anyone actually bother to play the game or really research it? Of course not. According to what they've heard it was full nudity, graphic, and fully player controlled. Huh? One reported kinda researched it. She said she saw a couple of videos on it. That's it? That's as far as "responsible" journalists go these days for a story? Out of the 6 or 7 person panel, only one had played the game, and everyone else refused to listen to what he had to say. Pure ignorance. Idiots proven to the public. The problem with people like these and good ol' Jack Thompson is that they have NO clue what they're talking about. So, let's stop listening.

I agree with what your saying, i personally own and loved mass effect and the sex scene was really nothing to get all worked up about, iv seen more graphic things on the covers of trashy romance novels. fox news is really nothing but propaganda, im not sure if it was fox news or some other "news" source but i remember someone claiming that it was fully interactive graphic bestiality and let me assure you it was none of those things.

I'm not sure who said that either. I'd have to go back and check the video. But, yeah. These guys (and gals) truly have no idea what they are talking about. And it is true that you see more graphic imagery in movies and other forms of media then in videogames. Media ignorance is not acceptable.
