Ugh, these stupid news media people need to stop being so damn ignorant. 
Hell, in 1999, when the Sims was released, you could bang your wife/husband or become homosexual at any given moment, for as long as you want. To this day, the Sims legacy still continues, with more intense graphics. Hell, every once in a while, my Sim would have the urge to "WooHoo" for some aspiration points. There's even mods to make teenagers "WooHoo". Not to mention, it's labeled T for Teens 13+.
Now you tell me targetting overrated games so that soccer moms would fear the gaming industry is not being ignorant. :redface2:

This is so ridiculous, spreading lies about games to people too ignorant and/or disinterested to question them. Good for Geoff though, if they hadn't cut him off for that naive panel he would have really done us proud.
Speaking of the panel, they said something that always bugs me when I hear it. It was something like "What happened to simple games like Atari?" Listen up: just like movies have evolved to be more complex and appealing to a wider audience, so have games evolved from Frogger and Pac-Man, and now in the same way that there are movies for kids and movies for adults, there are games for kids and games for adults. The problem is that roughly 104% of the "experts" you see on TV bashing games are people who grew up in a time when all games were for kids, so they assume that all games are still meant for kids.

It's Judgement Time!
Media reporters dont know what they're talking about and never have. This isn't new. lol. This is prime example why you never trust the media (any channel) 100%. There's always bias and ignorance found within the truth.

Once I read what the news report was about, I didn't even bother watching the damned thing.

After skimming through the video all I gotta say is this:
Man there comparing video games to play boy magazines?! LMFAO :nono:
I love how they say "boys who play video games can't tell the diffrence from what's real and what's not"
