Earlier in the week I posted a video of Fox News making absolute ass clowns of themselves while they attempted to comprehend Mass Effect’s “steamy” sex scene. Luckily Geoff Keighley was there to attempt to set the record straight. Unfortunately, Fox News anchor Boobs McGee, um I mean Martha MacCallum, and the rest of the Stepford monkeys were impervious to the truth.
Turns out a lot of people saw the Fox News report and weren’t happy about it. EA went after Fox News and gamers went after talking head, Cooper Lawrence, by spamming her book reviews on Amazon.com.
Find out why you do not f%&k with gamers, or EA, after the jump!
Turns out EA didn’t like the Fox News report either so the Vice President of Communications, Jeff Brown, wrote a letter to Fox News requesting an apology for their ridiculously inaccurate report. The letter cited Kotaku’s article on the subject and basically went line for line and refuted every stupid thing said.
For once, yay for EA. I’m glad they aren’t taking this lying down.
In other, related news, gamers around the world have united to take down Cooper Lawrence, the idiot that was opposite Keighley in the segment. Gamers found her Amazon.com book pages and began spamming her with one star reviews. On all of her books.
If you want to check them out, for entertainment’s sake, you can find some of her books on Amazon here, here, and here. The comments for all the books are pretty entertaining. Gamers have also added funny pictures to the reviews and the best part:
Gawd this made me laugh out loud. Gotta love them gamers. They’re thorough.

I saw the report and couldn’t believe it!
Thanks EA… Thanks EA????
But you used to be greedy and evil, and now I’m backing you up?
Guess you are not completely evil, Fox News on the other hand IS evil, or at least ignorant.
^_^ Gamers unite!!
Stupid comments and rants about games will not go unpunished.
but I have a question Lono, since I don’t get Fox News here in Mexico (Thank you ^_^) is this apology just a written letter? or did they broadcast the apology?

No they haven’t issued an apology yet.

“If I had a dime for every time the poor quality of this hack author’s made me want to commit suicide, I’d be a very rich man.
Not to mention this book contains blatant encouragement of sexual relationships between pre-teen lesbians.”

I think it’s great that EA aren’t just letting Fox broadcast this rubbish about Mass Effect, and that idiot Cooper Lawrence is feeling some gamers’ wrath. One of her books has got over 500 1 star reviews but the best one has to be from someone called Don T Meswgamers.
Gaming is a big industry and things like this may help people realise just how big it is.

@Some guy in a van
NICE!
9 majorbromly // Jan 24, 2008 at 2:44 pm
I sent “nice” message to her
10 Anski // Jan 24, 2008 at 2:54 pm
bet she didn’t expect all this from her little string of un-truths on Fox, eh?

Dear Cooper,
I was wondering were ignorance comes from. Lack of information? Or is it a desire to piss off more people than God has? For example: You find that Mass Effect will destroy children’s minds. Not only is a 2 minute long, PG-13 scene, you have to try and find it. You havn’t even scene it have you? Tom and Jerry was worse for children than Mass Effect will ever be. So, in my proffesional opinion, you are a dumb bitch.
12 Tinman // Jan 24, 2008 at 4:03 pm
I sent that email to her.

What happened to all the reviews on her amazon page? The tags are still there but I wanted to read the funny reviews again.
14 Tekknogun // Jan 24, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Serves them right. Don’t mess with my games. It makes me angry, you won’t like me when I am angry.
15 DarthVicious // Jan 24, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Apparently a whining publisher and/or author had ALL of the reviews removed…good or bad. Works for me. Just have to make sure we keep the good/bad ratio lopsided in our favor once the reviews go back up. MHahaha!

ok well apparently there is still some reviews left on her newest book.

I’m going to save them while I still can.

“You might have to use three or four pages, they’re a little on the rough side and take a couple of flushes, but it’ll do in pinch!”
God, that’s hilarious. Serves her right.
18 Minbad // Jan 25, 2008 at 11:00 am
Does she even deserve that kind of extra buzz? The answer is yes
19 tolazytoregester // Jan 26, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Looks like a apology has been given, from Lawrence at least. http://tinyurl.com/36z2h5
