The Internet hath no fury like a gamer scorned.

That’s the lesson Fox News and a self-help author learned this week after a program on that channel featured a discussion of the sexual content of the hit video game Mass Effect.

Cooper Lawrence: “Here’s how they’re seeing women: They’re seeing them as these objects of desire, as these, you know, hot bodies. They don’t show women as being valued for anything other than their sexuality. And it’s a man in this game deciding how many women he wants to be with.”

This is talking about the game Mass Effect. She answers "No, I haven't played it before."

So people go to Amazon.com and bombard her books with horrible reviews, sometimes noting "I haven't actually read it."

It's sad that people are childish enough to do this, and it's worse that broadcasting companies actually take that kind of stuff into account (spamming is what it takes to make someone listen? WTF?).

Attention was needed. That's what did it. I don't think it could have gone any other way.

Even though it was stupid for her to make that comment specifically about Mass Effect, she's essentially right about the "internet crowd."

That is awesome. I really had no idea that gamers could pull so much weight over that. They made that author crumble. I'm pretty impressed to be honest.

That's like being impressed that a worm was pressured by dirt.

This situation is pathetic on many levels.

Fox has long ago thrown away any sort of credibility a long time ago. Their stories are never researched. They always attach their own opinions and spin to stories. I don't know why they still call Fox News by that name; people watch it for entertainment, not news. Pathetic.

And yet people forget this, and spend their time insulting and spamming a fiction producer for producing fiction. Again pathetic.

Adam Sessler did a bit on this Fox Story about how the author was a dumb bitch since she hadn't played the game yet commented on its sexual content. So, Adam Sessler did the same with her book, also saying that this was "Mass Stupidity":


Enjoy =D

It still amazes me that people still watch and pay attention to fox fiction; got to give it to you BottleAbuser, you nailed it.

I can appreciate good satire. The nature of satire justifies its own existence.

Spam isn't.

They destroyed Kane and Lynch when the gamespot reviewer got fired for giving the game a bad review, the game was rated 1.0 across the net, within days.
