Honestly they need to find better stuff to worry about.  I always get so fed up at these articles and new reports where the media reports on games that they don't understand.  They just immediately freak out and claim that video game are turning children into the devil.

I dunno, for once maybe they got it right?
 
Still lollin at dis quote: "...players are rewarded for shooting enemies in the private parts (such as the buttocks)"
 
I mean really, they ain't even got the sack to say "testicles" or even the more accurate "anus" (aka: asshole).

The 'Buttocks' is a private part?

Melanie Killen, Ph.D., a professor at the University of Maryland who has pushed for laws that govern the sale of video games, disagrees that the ESRB rating system is working. She says 9-year-olds are playing games like Bulletstorm and that there is no real enforcement. The FCC monitors all TV broadcasts and stiffly fines broadcasters for violating decency rules, yet there are no penalties in place for retailers who sell violent games to kids.

Dude,It's fox news.What do you expect?

Fox News viewers are from the older end of the age meter. It's easy to get old people stirred up with horror stories about new technology harming kids.  

"“The increase in rapes can be attributed in large part to the playing out of [sexual] scenes in video games,” she said."

... Really? Fuck. I better put Mass Effect down. Might make me wanna rape. Never know, might run into some hot blue chick and I'll lapse into a rapist!

Fox News would like to thank reactionary sensitive gamers for all the free press and site hits.

I can see where they're coming from, but i think they're missing the point, they go into the stuff about the rating system and they're critical of it, but if you ask me they should really be critical of the parents.   If anything it's their ignorance that lets the games get into the hands of children.  Before i was 17 i always tried to buy M rated games and most of the time i was turned away by the clerk.  I got my parents to buy them for me, but they were aware of the content and judge the games individually.  They educated themselves on the rating system so they could make a choice.  More parents should do this, rather than just letting their kids play whatever.  I don't think any kid should play this game, that's why there are ratings in place to prevent that.
 

They say stuff like: "The Increase in rapes can be attributed in large parts to the playing out of sexual scenes in videogames."  Where is the basis for this claim.  Most sex scenes in games are consensual and based on a romance between the characters.  Movies have had much more graphic scenes of rape.  I think this assessment is really out of line and unjustified.

Man, Fox News are always so rational, they're fair and balanced, this is so unlike them.

Fox News seriously knows how to troll.  They are THE master trollers.

" Man, Fox News are always so rational, they're fair and balanced, this is so unlike them. "

If you under the age of immortal and you still think video games are this uncontrollable evil that needs to be stopped then society has no place for you.

Fox: Damn it this violence and video games angle isn't working! We need something new!
Reporter: What about video games lead to SEXUAL violence, huh? Like video games you make rape people!
Fox: Brilliant!

"    It says 18. How can kids of age 9 (as mentioned in their article) even legally play this? "

Fox news is a really sad source for anything. Seriously are they worried about children? This is not a video game for children its rated M sure some kids are going to get it but they are not meant to so according to that logic we should get rid of all adult entertainment for the sake of the children... I am pretty sure children see worse things then what is depicted in a video games.

Remi Sklar, the vice president of Public Relations at Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment, which makes numerous video games (though is unconnected to Bulletstorm), offered the following statement: “We don’t have a comment for that story.”  

"    It says 18. How can kids of age 9 (as mentioned in their article) even legally play this? "

The horse must be down to its fucking bones by now, leave it alone and bury it already.

Legally a child can play this game, however there are restrictions in place to bar this from happening.

 Fox reports it and Epic loves it. Its seems like exactly the response they wanted with all the marketing stuff.    

"    It says 18. How can kids of age 9 (as mentioned in their article) even legally play this? "

" @wolf_blitzer85:  @Tennmuerti:  It says 18 on the box, meaning the content is not suitable for anyone under 18. Same as with a movie, if you continue to purchase/watch/play the game/movie in question then you should know the risks. Thus, if you complain to a news station about it the news station should say: "Sorry ma'm, your own fault really".  But hey, that's wishful thinking on my part. Stupid media. "

 My favourite part is where nobody is talking to them:
 
 Microsoft, maker of the Xbox 360 console, declined to comment. Epic Games did not respond to requests, and the developer did not respond. Remi Sklar, the vice president of Public Relations at Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment, which makes numerous video games (though is unconnected to Bulletstorm), offered the following statement: “We don’t have a comment for that story.”  
 
HAhahahhaha

CAn't wait to see their reaction for Duke Nukem Forever

I bet 80% of the hits these stories get come from angry gamers, who then wonder why they keep making these stories. Ouroboros motherfuckers.

Well that was a funny read. 
As for the game, I find it fun, mildly funny and completely idiotic.Which is awesome.Too many serious shooters these days anyways. 
And for the matter at hand, I started playing violent videogames at about 12 years of age.No, I don't feel the need to kill or rape anybody.Hooray for not being mentally unstable!

"Kids as young as 9" aren't supposed to be playing the game. It's not the game's fault. Young kids went to see "Saw". Complain about that.

Fox News are disgusting rats. Have we not all agreed on this as a society? ;)

Like all profit-over-anything media, if given no attention it'll go away.

Its funny because this is fox news, and it wouldn't surprise me if this was the kind of response the developers and the marketing team wanted.

I bet they think this is hilarious over at Epic and PCF "

They should rename themselves...The Fuck's News.

From Alex Navarro's twitter page: 

"Getting called the worst game ever by Fox News is the best press Bulletstorm could ever hope for. That whole article is box quote material."

The fake psychologist has a contact me and website:

hate mail?  Oh the irony.

Seriously, best publicity they could have gotten.
 
Now all kinds of immature 12-15 year olds will want to play it because it is "SO OUTRAGEOUS."

“The increase in rapes can be attributed in large part to the playing out of [sexual] scenes in video games,”      WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW "

" Fox News viewers are from the older end of the age meter. It's easy to get old people stirred up with horror stories about new technology harming kids.   "

For even more free publicity, they should have a PR guy show up on Fox in full on hackjockey meathead mode talking about the game like the intoduction and end of the demo. 
He should also be some huge steroided out dude who yells like R. Lee Emery. 
 
"YOU REMEMBER HOW YOU GOT EXTRA POINTS FOR EATING THE CHERRY IN PAC-MAN, MAGGOT!? IN THIS GAME YOU GET EXTRA POINTS FOR BLOWING UP SOME FREAK'S CHERRY!" 

I like how '9' was the number they landed on.  Not 8, not 10, but 9.  THAT's when kids are the most vulnerable.

Working at Fox News will turn you into a wife.beater. Also there's a chance you could become a christian fundamentalist.
