I wouldn't hate Fox nearly as much if they didn't keep referring to themselves as "fair and balanced." #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@Mister Jack started the Save The Lombax Foundation: Yeah. It kinda makes me laugh, cause when they make a point of saying it, it gives the impression that they do so because other people are saying otherwise. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

I hate how they still threw him off.
There is no correlation or study what so ever that proves violent games affect kids.

Fox news is neither fair nor balanced. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

For some reason I really want to see their take on some Dwarf/Elf homosexual lovin' in Dragon Age. I think that would be hilarious.

Seriously, though, who actually watches this crap for their morning news? #callofdutymodernwarfare2

A funny observation: Fox News ratings consistently crush all other news channels combined. They may not get it right 100% of the time, but at least they are not the mouthpiece of the obama administration.

At least they could research a product before getting indignant about it. They're so fucking ignorant of the issue, and if they're as good a parent as they claim, they should know what videogames their fucking kids are playing to begin with.

When did the party of individual responsibilty become hysterical demigogues that want the government to regulate morality and parenting? #callofdutymodernwarfare2

I always had found ironically funny( and sad) that a warmonger T.V. station like Fox is so willing to accuse video games as thing that's destroying and making the children violent.

Jesus... People like Bill O'Reilly are a even worse influence on the general population than any video game or music video will ever be. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

There's nothing quite as entertaining as people who don't know enough about a subject getting hysterical and hyperbolic about a product they probably have just glanced at and found something that stands out. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@ViewtifulJason: Kind of calls into question their reporting about anything, doesn't it?

Every time a field I am familiar with is 'in the news' I always find the story rife with errors of fact and laughably off the mark.

Doesn't exactly inspire confidence. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

Hey guys this was actually one of their more 'reasonable' jerk reactions.

Now if Modern Warfare 2 did something even more extreme and possibly offensive to their viewership, like show Nordics diluting their 'pure genes' and intermarrying other 'other species and ethnics' Infinity Ward would have been in BIG trouble:

@omgwtflolbbqbye: And this video proves what? We don't even know what the study he's talking about says! But he's a bigot because he says certain groups typically don't marry outside that group? Ohhhhh... shocking! There are ethnic and religious groups the world over that do this. And Brian never once says maintaining a "pure" race is the preferred choice. He simply stated his belief that as the Swiss and Finnish tend to only marry people of their own ethnicity whatever this study was doesn't apply to Americans because - shocking again - they don't! Geez, talk about lowering the bar on what constitutes real bigotry. Next you'll call me a racist because I don't care for Neapolitan ice cream. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@selderane: He uses the word "species" to refer to different races. Maybe not racist, but idiotic? Definitely. I guess a network that employs Glenn "OLIGARH" Beck doesn't have much standards as far as intelligence goes. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@AErikson: It's a slip of the tongue. A common one by the way. But I'm sure you've never used the incorrect verbiage when trying to get across something, huh? Maybe we should go ahead and get a camera crew to follow you around to record your grammatical atrocities?

You don't like the guy, I get it. You don't like Fox News, you're hardly unique there either. But if the best you can do is, "He used 'species' instead of 'race!' He's soooo dumb!" well, I'm sure you're a hoot with your friends. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@omgwtflolbbqbye: That's better! Thanks for the context. I don't think it's bigoted, just weird. I don't quite understand where he's coming from or what he's getting at.

But if one is looking for a bigot on a network they don't like, given the hundreds of hours of recoded footage taken over the course of their tenure, I'm sure they'll find something. Again, it seems like the bar to determine if one is a bigot or not isn't all that high. Especially if you don't like the person, or the network they work for, to begin with. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

Fox News is forgetting that parenting these days is horrible. Moms buy the kids games becuase they don't want to see them sad or they just don't care. I speak from experience. My cousin is only 12 and plays GoW, MW 1 + 2, FEAR all that stuff. His moms never says no. And no, he's not mature for his age...at all. This is all recent though, and I've noticed his personality has changed quite a bit. "Fag" is a new word that was recently added to his vocabulary. I wonder why?

It's not the devs fault. But that IS their target audience. IF they admit it or not, their target audience is young teens and...douchebags.

Edit: I'd like to add that killing innocent people in this quantity is arong on all levels. If you didn't feel at least a little bad when you did..I don't even know what to say. You must be souless.

@TheVegetarianBurgerKing:

Somewhat off-topic here, but what is it about online FPS games that breeds this mix of homophobia and racism? It is slightly disturbing to see. I have played plenty of online games but only FPS games it seems are littered with "fag", "ni**er" and such. Why is this? I play a lot of games online (especially FPS games) and I don't go around yelling obscenities and insulting minorities.

One a side note here, I don't believe that IW considers their target audience to be young teens, I just think it is an unfortunate by-product of bad parenting and peer-pressure. I think the devs fully intend these games to be played by a mature audience. I highly doubt that IW would add in the ability to see from the terrorist's point of view just so a twelve year old kid can see how "cool" it is. I think developers are trying their hardest to move away from the old adage that video games are for kids but it is increasingly difficult when parents seem to think that games are kid's only fare.

In my opinion games need to be on the same level as movies. You wouldn't let your kid see Saw, right? This is the same principle. And you definitely don't see Fox News jumping on Saw saying, "will somebody, please think of the children?!" #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@skaldicpoet9: You have a point there. I think the gaming industry needs to do more about this kind of thing. I was thinking there should be a separate section for M rated games or possibly behind the counter to raise more awareness that these gamea aren't for kids. I see parents all the time buying M rated games for their kids. The kid will usually pick up the game, the parent will not even look at it, buy it and boom. Sometimes the parent will glance at it, shrug and buy it anyways. Retailers will lose money if they do something like what I said, but it's for the children. PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN.

On that note, video games should be treated like movies. Parents will let their kids see it anyways but not nearly as often. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@TheVegetarianBurgerKing:

I would agree with that. Retailers should start putting mature only games behind the counter in a locked display that in turn could only be opened by an of age employee to sell to an of age customer and actively enforce the requirement to ID consumers before they are able to purchase and walk away with the game.

All of this think of the children nonsense could actively be avoided if we put those barriers in place. Personally I think precautions like this are entirely necessary to allow gaming to grow as a viable medium. I am sick and tired of games being touted as for kids. It is a worn and old rhetoric that should be forgotten. #callofdutymodernwarfare2
