After psychology expert Cooper Lawrence joined Fox News' Live Desk With Martha MacCallum and offended Electronic Arts by claiming the BioWare developed RPG Mass Effect shows full digital nudity and graphic sex scenes, gamers fired back and attacked her through message boards, blogs, and other places on the Internet. Not long since the book she's selling on Amazon, The Cult of Perfection: Making Peace With Your Inner Overachiever, got hundreds of negative reviews, Lawrence finally admitted that she "misspoke" about the game.

The only thing they proved is how many free time they had...

try it now, link has been updated.

anyway, they didn't just show how much free time they had, because it only takes a second to do what they did, but what they did do was show that chick that we gamers are tired of the media and such using video games as a scapegoat for some of the problems here in the states. The sad thing is that the chick didn't even play the game, so people drew her attention to the situation more closely by blatantly doing what she did.

If she wanted the attention, she got the wrong type, but I don't think thats what she was going for, she was just going for some Jack Thompson points. But she admitted that she had heard that it was like porno, and thats why she shot her mouth off. Thats one hell of a source, now she's eating those words

because games take the heat in the media for idiotic things that people do, and the media, does things like this so they can point the finger at video game. It's gone on long enough and needs to stop. Hell you can watch stuff on TV that's more violent and sexually graphic than most video games

I hate it when people say video games promote violence. The next time I hear someone say it I'll kick them in the face!!! <_<

Her Book is given 2 star Ratings!

AT FIRST, I thot that this was Going to be a Hot Coffee: Round 2, no. Its just some dumb "reporter" Reporting, Even though she's never touched the game.

kids see these images everywhere and blaming video games for scarring you child's development is just trying to hide the fact that your bad controlling parents or your kids are just disobedient if you don't like the game don't buy them the game don't ruin things for everyone else
