There is no doubt that everyone saw this coming way before Modern Warfare 2 was even released. It only took two days before Fox News to to attack Modern Warfare 2.
 
On Wednesday, November 11th fox news released this news report that literally says says that after playing this game an eight year old WILL become a terrorist.

Well I'm not going to play the game any time soon but I can say that Fox news are the joke of news networks and are comedy centrals other half, I would only watch that shit if Bill O'Reilly came on and I needed to laugh.

They clearly haven't played GTA4 lol 
 
So to them MW2 is a quick and intensive course to terrorism. 
 
Will Bin Laden buy many copies of it? I wonder... 
 
Ahahaha  they are even questioning violence in videogames, like it isn't in every media, from movies, to books, to games, and even on the news. 
 
It's a sensationalist show... in America. 
 
Just that...

Is Modern warfare 2 anymore graphic than the dozens of murder stories that fox news airs every day?   
 
Has someone recently shot down a UAV?

I wonder if Super Mario Bros made kids jump angrily on mushrooms.

well, better get started on that terrorist training then.  
clearly you can see the dude from /gamer getting irritated from this. 

The guy from common sense media is either bullshitting or he doesn't know what a "correlation" means. 

I press play, and hilarity ensues.

Why are adults so out of touch with technology?  
 
Although I have to admit the person from slashgamer didn't really represent his case very well. 

You can see the guy getting pissed from their ignorance. Anyway I don't see how the other guy said you become a terrorist repeatedly when the guy from /gamer clearly said your going undercover.
 
Honestly if it was me, first I would of said have either of you played the game fully or at all? If their answer was no I would say they were full of shit and were stupid fucks.

it has to admitted that the guy from /gamer could have made a much easier case by either 1. pointing out that the section is skippable, or 2. theres no correlation between shooting a real gun and using a controller

Here's the problem that FOX had with this particular news piece.  The guest they chose to be "outraged!" was actually well spoken and open minded on the subject.  I think he was much better than the guy they invited to defend the game.  Look, it's not a game rated for kids.  The final word is let the parent decide whether or not the game is appropriate for their child.  FOX wanted rightous indignation and you could see that in some of the host's questions, but they didn't get it.  Whether or not video games increase the likelihood of violent action in people is a completely different subject.  That wasn't the topic.  The story was meant to focus on playing as a terrorist (but not really) in the midst of a "war on terror".  
 
My favorite line from the host:  "You bring a game [like this] into your house, nothing to stop an 8 year old kid from becoming a terrorist."

Half a million of those copies were for Bin laden's 8 year old terrorist training camps!!!!  (Sarcasm)
 
Oh Fox News, your serious all the time but your still a comedy network. Honestly though, it would have been 10 times better if Geoff Keighly or Jeff  were defending the game instead of that guy from slashgamer. I bet though that neither of them would want to deal with the network.

I have never even heard of slashgamer in my life before this..so yeah. The guy defending the game did terrible in all honesty. I dislike Geoff Keighley greatly by the way, he annoys the hell out of me. However, he actually did a good job defending Mass Effect when these morons had that on their show. Regardless, its just their side comedy routine, whether they mean for it to be or not.

There is nothing stopping your 8 year old from picking up a gun and becoming a terrorist...NOTHING!

Damn, this is the first time I think I'll ever say this, but I kind of wish Sessler had made it. He seems much more capable of putting together a coherent argument than is the person they got to play the "videogamer's" side.

Already a topic in existence that discusses this subject, you can find it here, and I'll ask everyone continue the discussion in that topic please :)
