Geoff Keighley Pwns Fox News With +1 Truth Power

Yet another round of “What Game Are We Going To Sensationalize Today.”

This time, it’s Mass Effect. The cable news outlet: Fox News. These dumbasses actually set up a whole segment to talk about the “raunchy” sex, with “full-frontal” nudity that objectifies women in the game. Forget the fact that it’s a M rated game, kids could see it!!! OMG!!! Save the children! Forget the fact that there’s no nudity, half a boob and half an ass crack. When did Fox News become Puritan News?

Thank god Geoff Keighley was there to calm the histrionic monkeys down. Yes, I said, “Thank god for Geoff Keighley.” See out how he set the record straight and made these Fox Anchors look like fools in the video segment, after the jump.

Let me set the stage, with my completely biased gamer’s point of view.

Well, lets see, you have, what could possibly be the dumbest Fox News Anchor to ever tape a segment on cable, (and that’s saying something for Fox News) a shrieking psuedo-psychologist/radio host Cooper Lawrence, and the face of truth, Geoff Keighley.

Here’s the clip. Be sure to watch the segment after the Keighley debate, as Fox sinks to a new low in genuine stupidity as one man discloses to the world, what a complete and total douche bag, he really is.

.
Ok, why do we have people that have never played the game, talking about it? That’s like having Dennis Miller dissect football games, it doesn’t fraking work. Oh and how about the half-a-tard that calls Mass Effect “Luke Skywalker meets Debbie Does Dallas.” I bet that guy wouldn’t know who Luke Skywalker was if Mark Hamill himself walked up and donkey punched him. I would pay good money to see that.

Just goes to show why we should all vote W. a third term! This way he and his band of “do-gooders” can save society from the evils of video games! Jack Thompson for secretary of state.

Yet another reason to avoid Fox News channel.

I feel dirty having even watched a CLIP from Fox News….gee thanks Lono. I feel even dirtier having to admit a new respect for Keighley trying to stand up to the Fox News authoritarians. Just remember kids…if you get Al Gore to run and he wins…we also get Tipper! AHHHHH!!!

I like how in the statment from Microsoft at the beginning of the statments clearly states that they their console has parental controls; then at the end of the segment one of the ‘guests’ spouts off about “playing dad’s video game when he’s not home.” They just up and assume that this fictional dad is an idiot and wouldn’t set up his console so that his fictional son couldn’t play games he shouldn’t. I love the ignorance of FOX and the crazy people they get on the show.

Yeah, the talking heads on the Fox panel are hilarious, because they just completely disregarded every shred of fact that they just heard, a minute earlier and rant and say stupid things like, “I don’t know how to protect my kids from games like this on the internet.”

WTF… on the internet? How fraking stupid are these people.

“to veiw women as an object or as a hot body.”

huh… I think the “TAG” body spray ads do that more than Mass effect.

Kind of ironic that they get up in arms about one of the few games to actually have meaningful character interactions and storylines.

Calling Mass Effect porn is just plain incorrect, the scenes were done tastefully and were more than eyecandy, they were the culmination of a meaningful relationship built between the Player and the character.

I wonder if the researcher played the whole game or if they just played segments over and over.
9 IWISHIWASLONO // Jan 22, 2008 at 4:36 pm

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if right after that segment they had an ad for Mass Effect and/or TAG body spray.

these guys are idiots. have you seen what kevin mcullough had to say about mass effect?i would seriously love to tee bag this guy just so he could see how to do it “gamer nerd” style
11 commander121 // Jan 22, 2008 at 6:28 pm

i love the part where he says “have you played mass effect”
12 Cube // Jan 22, 2008 at 7:18 pm

YA kids cant get hold of my mass effect! Oh no! Then put it away or use the lockout to block the mature disc.
It says 17+ on the box not 8+
13 Cube // Jan 22, 2008 at 7:20 pm

And lock away all those rated R and raucnhy teen PG-13 and stuff clearly being watched by Teens already like american pie! they are much worse. I would let my kid play mass effect before he watches one of those.

In australia, Mass effect is MA 15, which means you have to be over 15 to buy the game (although EB are the only ones who check). I am 17 so I could get it no worries. When I played through the first time, I missed all the scenes, but I did see them on youtube. Personally blue aliens dont do it for me, and I really dont think I am scared for life by it. I like the comment at the end, Parents need to take control over what there kids are exposed to. But not to the religious big brother standard that seems to be encouraged. Because I mean lets face it, by the time most kids are 14 these days they already have seen worse.

wow, and i thought fox news was stupid before i watched this,. it’s sad how they get the least knowlegable prsn about gaming, make a whole bunch of coments, and left themselves just as clueless as before. and those people, the pong lady, and the chuck norris crack one . how do idiots as stupid as them make it on tv. and the best/worst part of it (depends on how u look @ it) Geoff totally pwnd them
16 clstirens // Jan 22, 2008 at 11:19 pm

Geoff did totally pwn them. Too bad most people probably didn’t see it that way…
17 Iffo // Jan 23, 2008 at 11:10 am

How is it possible for someone to be such a douche bag to go after the media with the least amount of “full-frontal” nudity and has parental control that actually works? Someone mentioned the crap teenage movies that offer much more sexual content than any game… you nailed it! Same is true for violence as well. The clueless US film industry has run out of inspiration years ago so they make up for it by throwing in either nudity or violence scenes (which also happen to suck) No body seems to care about it though. Let’s blame it all to them video games! This is insane!!
18 haydenkayne // Jan 23, 2008 at 12:57 pm

just for the record lffo i CARE. about nudity and violence in movies. considering there hasnt been a movie ive enjoyed in years that didnt have some form of either. these guys are real gems. just wait till jack thompson makes a run for the white house. cant be any worse than hillary
19 Minbad // Jan 24, 2008 at 7:44 am

And still after Geoff Keighley was just trying to speak here indeed, he was treated as a blinded fanboy of some sort. The “masses” now still think that video games are easy-to-access porn… How sick and pathetic is that? Have they ever even tried that thing called the Internet yet?
20 dwbronc // Jan 24, 2008 at 12:30 pm

now there’s an interesting game, “Luke skywalker meets Debbie Does Dallas”, and it will sell 10 million copies, thanks for the idea fox news, LOL
21 Legion // Jan 25, 2008 at 5:27 pm

OMG I hate news because they think that kids can just walk in and buy these things. The ratings are on the front of the box and you have to be 17 to buy it.
