  • "I gotta go with the research.." even though you've never played the game. You can't apply such old forms of research most of which applies to movies not games nor can you make sweeping judegements on things you've never experienced.

    Cooper had this discussion in the palm of his hand because he knew the content and at least a general idea of the research into desensitivity and sexualisation. The pink shirt annoying smily woman knew nothing about games at all.

  • @ProjectZuel I meant "Jeff" had this discussion in the palm of his hand. Head was too full of rage to think...

  • The problem with the "likes" and "dislikes" system in this case is that I can't tell whether people "like" that the video highlights the bias of Fox News, or whether people "dislike" that Fox News is running this story in the first place.

  • @TheWAYF

    I think it's confusing too: are we supposed to dislike because Fox is stupid or like because it shows comically how retarded Fox are. Even I don't know sometimes.

  • I have no clue why but that made me mad. I just huh really.

  • ... im not even going to list the things wrong with this video... PSYCHED FOR MASS EFFECT THREE ANYONE?

  • @LOLcat901 I know i am. Wish i could get a Space Edition but the chances of that happening are as slim as the chance of my Wining the Lottery unfortunately... Since i live in Washington.

  • @Kaexis I just dont have any $ lol

  • If I didn't already know that this was already long over... I'd have sided with the Reapers in thinking that humans suck.

  • At least she apologized after all this.

  • Holy shit, have they even played the fucking game? Is this why Bioware toned the sex scenes down for Mass Effect 2? Way to be pussywhipped by the conservative media, guys.

  • I´m with you guys, in germany they get upset about violence...but at least boobs are not a problem in this country ;)

  • Fox..."News by idiots"

  • these botches are restarted

  • I dunno, I've been playing and watching pretty much whatever I've wanted to since I was ten or so and so far it doesn't seem to have any ill effects. I discovered pornography and figured out masturbation at the age of eight. I'm a very levelheaded, nonviolent person who has the utmost respect for women.

    Children have a better ability to separate fact from fiction then they're given credit for.

  • The average age of a video gamer purchaser is 41 ive played this game when i was 11 im now 15 i couldnt be bothered too much by the story i just wanted to shoot things so how is any child gonna bother trying to build a relationship with a virtual characters when u can shoot other virtual characters.

  • "research says that boys playing video games cannot distinguish between what they see in the game and what is real life."

    really? REALLY?

    oh i'm sorry, at what point in my life did i start running around trying to shoot robots with guns and have sex with aliens? at what point have i ever believed ANYTHING i saw in a video game?

    NEVER! goddamn she's a fucking retard.

    *RAAAAAGE*

  • that is fuckin bull shit guys can control sexual urge

  • Came here from TV Tropes. The page that I came from also has a link to a New York Times article that defends the game and indicates that Cooper has learned her lesson, so the haters can put away their torches now.

  • Comment removed

  • "Have you ever played Mass Effect?"

    "NO!"

    Really? Really? Cooper I never read your book but it sucks. It's disrespectful to men, it makes women look bad, it's full of worthless and unhelpful advice, and I didn't think much of the sex scene I heard was in it. No, the male rape bit someone told me you wrote I did not think much of at all.

  • oh wow theres a fucking boob... big whoop. doesn't have to be a Adult rated game just because theres a side boob.

  • Fuck the statistics & fuck you Cooper, fucking stupid shit cock sucking cunt.

  • it's an M 17+ rated game what do you expect? it's no different than watching an R rated movie where you see boobs and butts most of the time. The Media are just ignorance pieces of shits.

  • Its a short cutscene that is very difficult to actually get. I don't think you could accidently get the cutscene i doubt a 13 year old would be able to do it.

  • I can only agree witg KidGohan88 - FOX NEWS IS GAY

  • god this bitch is fucking stupid

  • FOX NEWS IS GAY

  • I don't see how this particular video is a 'Hate Fox News' video. They talked about the game, they had a pro and anti gamer on. This Cooper person is a moron, but I think Fox itself was fine...

  • "uhh... i lure little girls into my cellar... but i'm definitely not gonna let Mass Effect into MY house..."

    oh... shut up pls?!

  • Omg... someone painted a picture of a nude woman... kill him!!! Our kids could see it in the museum *harrumph*

  • What is most ridiculous is that she is insinuating that the video game is sexually exploitative to women and that it treats women as "sex objects." One of the reasons I LOVE this series is that it treats women in the exact opposite way. There are so many awesome, strong, wonderful female characters in ME and ME2. Femshep included! (:

  • not at all it just a cutscene and it does not show anything

  • Mass effect 3 better not get srewed up because of this dumb bitch

  • Maybe it's just me, but I was more offended by the fact that Shepard got involved with an anti-alien bigot than that he had a coyly-shot sex scene. Thanks, Fox, for teaching me that sex is less acceptable than xenophobia.

  • "13 year olds never have seen playboy"

    Yeah, because there's this thing called "the internet". Nobody reads playboy anymore.

    

  • @2AProductions Got that right. This bitch is clueless. My 13 year old nephew has never seen porn.....yeah right.

  • Ignorance in adults is a dangerous thing.

  • oh no I've never had or seen sex before.

  • I think the guy totally won.

  • lol stupid fox news

  • A recent study shows that mass effect is awesome

  • All this pointless shit and they haven't realized that the game is rated "M" for mature, not for morons. 

  • It cracks me up whenever I listen to a person, that doesn't play videogames, talk about them as if he/she is an expert on the subject.

    The irony is that the people they claim to be affected by games now more about the truth than they do.

    In short: Fox News is a load of shit.

  • I realize that I am a little late in the news as I have only seen this now. (Because I have only played MassEffect recently) But I really have to say; I feel so attacked. How could they talk like the game is just about sex. What about the fact that you actually have to build relationships to get to that intimate part? I am so incredibly disappointed with Fox News. Clearly they were so desperate for headlines that they would go ahead and spread this shit without even properly looking atthe game.

  • @Sapphire1992 How can you be disapointed with Fox News when there's nothing to expect from the begining? :P

  • @Sapphire1992 If it makes you feel better the aftermath of this interview resulted in a bunch of trolls giving Lawrence's book terrible views by satirizing the things she said. Mostly saying they didn't read the book (like she didn't play game) but can still give it an accurate one-star rating. She then subsequently withdrew her statements in this video. xD

  • 5:30 Can this bitch hear?! MICROSOFT HAS RESTRICTION SETTINGS ON THE X-BOX!

  • Cooper Lawrence, There is not enough words in, "You Suck," to illustrate how much i think you suck. You clearly have not played the game (for those who haven't heard of it she really HA NOT seen anything else than those mild sexual scenes which are only about as long as counting to ten.) Because, Mass Effect, is one of the most well written, well acted, mature game in this day and age, and that is saying quite a lot. Seriously Cooper, fuck you. And fuck your atrocious fucking book as well.

  • Thank you Fox news, for showing us that the biggest issues in America aren't a collapsing economy, corrupt government, cutting of social programs, war, or rising crime problems.

    It's alien side-boob.

  • "13yr old's have never seen playboy"

    *First time seeing playboy was at 10*

  • God -_- the annoying thing is they never whine over san andreas or anything! i mean i know about 6 year olds playinf san andreas but if game sex is so wrong why do i see family movies with sex -_-

  • @TheKleco Dude..........

  • its a good thing I listened to the psychiatrist. I've always wanted to grow up being scared to defend myself and too self conscience to have sex.

  • Ok just saying, she said something like "all i did was enter an age and it let me into the website", that is really for any site. Hell i could go to a porn site and like maybe half the time it'll ask if im 18, please click here to access all your favorite *********** =P Those are the types of things the media should bring up to the minds of parents, kids can go anywhere, anytime =/

  • omg... its so funny... it's like 14 yr old WoW-nerds talking about boobs... they just don't have the fuckin faintest idea...

  • Fox News exists because we allow it, and they will end because we demand it.

  • then i'll take that as evidence

  • jesus, they always go back to studies, they have no definitive evidence, when a kid preforms a murder while shouting Call of Duty made me do this!!!

  • It's funny because all of the sex scenes are quite passionate... I mean Shepard isn't fucking raping them. Jesus.

  • first off when i feel like fighting, i play a video game. second, when i got mass effect i had no idea it had a 45 second sex scene and i loved the game before i saw it. And there was nothing more revealing then some fox shows.

  • there is not full nudity.... I have allready watched all of them

  • Ignorance at its finest, sack these shit "professionals"

  • Poor guy. that "video game expert" was being modest and right. the other two news reports were being biased.

  • Fuck all of these stupid cunts

  • "Nothing more than objects of desire?" I disagree, lady! By playing Mass Effect I learned that women can be strong, courageous soldiers willing to put their lifes on the line to allow their team mates to escape certain death, or BRILLIANT scientists that, despite their racial inheritance and/or cultural diferences, can and will try to approach others to learn from them, evolve and, ultimately, grow from the experience.

    Play the game, then give your opinion, not an insta-hate comment. Please.

  • "What happened to Atari, and pinball?"

    Yeah, and the horse & buggy? Candle light?!?!

    They evolved, you bimbo.

  • I did my part and trashes her book. take that bitch

  • Stupid bitch doesn't begin to describe it.

  • LOL, there was NO nudity in the game, and the sex scene was NOT graphic AT ALL. you'll find much more graphic scenes in movies. lol, fox news always uninformed, and being stupid fucking cunts as usual. lol, and you can set parental locks on both PS3, and XBOX 360 so your kids can't play games you dont want them to. these are the stupidest fucking people I've ever seen.

  • Game developers are not your kids' babysitters. Developers have the freedom to make any kind of game they want, and lazy fucks shouldn't have a say in it just because they don't feel like parenting.

  • The reporter (the blonde one) seemed sincere. She asked relevant questions, I got the impression that she made an earnest attempt to learn about Mass Effect. Furthermore, she seemed genuinely curious instead of just dismissing it. Props to her.

    The last guy seemed pretty reasonable as well. He didn't place blame one way or another.

  • According to these people, apparently girls and women don't play videogames...

  • Why does fox news make me want to punch somebody's throat?

  • Every time i watch fox news i feel like they assume their viewers are retarded and they will believe all the bullshit they're talking about.

  • Should I really be surprised that Fox would do something like this?

  • of course, if it wasn't for video games, there would be no sexual discrimination, women would be better treated and children wouldn't know about sex and there would be no more violence. Video games makes children violent. That must be why genghis khan was so violent.

  • bitch at 5:56 needs to have her head examined

  • i want to smack the shit out of EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!!! (except the gamer guy)

  • What a bunch of judgmental gossip bitches.

    'nuff said.

  • GOD BLESS GEOFF KEELEY! ;_;

  • I like how they "had to go" and then they continue to bash something they know absolutely nothing about for another 5 minutes. Its BioWares fault that people dont lock up their M rated games? If anything makes me want to murder someone its the bullshit that FAUX News broadcasts. OCCUPY FOX NEWS!!

  • Video games are full of Demonic activity!!!! Quick get rid of them they are a scourge on the human race!!! Plsss someone save us....or read a flipping book thats not interesting or includes an epic scifi tale....an no sex scenses oh goddness no...not that brief scene....lol

  • "full digital nudity" now includes.. NO NUDITY!

    "full control" means.. NO CONTROL!

    impressive

  • When she called him "darling" I almost flipped my computer off of my desk. That is just the most infuriating insult to a well-informed, educated gamer.

  • @ZachWulf haha OMG i was about to punch my screen when she said that!!

  • Retards.

  • When I played mass effect the one lasting thing I wanted to play ME2 for was to continue the story of Shepherd not a 2:00 scene that's completely optional.

  • Dumb bitch needs look at the hole world.

  • These are tender, loving, optional love scenes between two consenting game characters in an M rated title. I view it as a giant leap forward in gaming maturity. Thank you, Fox Poos for highlighting your uninformed coverage.

  • They should just put fully-viewed penetration, sodomy, and DVDA in mass effect 3 to give a big FU to fox news.

    I always wanted to see Legion and Wrex run a train on my female Shepherd :/

  • they really like interrupting people

  • After this, Mass Effect became one of the most well-received franchises in gaming history. Meanwhile, Fox New is one of the most hated corporation in the world.

  • @Prodigiousguy8 Fox was always hated so your an idiot.

  • @foomboom2 I know. I just worded it oddly.

  • @Prodigiousguy8 Actually they gave both sides of the spectrum. Don't you sound stupid.

  • Are you actually defending Fox News? The joke is on you, sir.

  • Press 9 repeatedly.

    That's me, shaking my head.

  • these people are so damn stupid besides the gaming guy. they're going from the angle of how horrid it is for your kids. then the one chick complains about how "involved" you have to be to monitor your kids??! the hell?? isnt that the point of being a parent? first off the kid can't buy it unless they have a fake haah, so no they can't just run off and play it. second, all that involvement takes about 5 seconds to flip the damn game over and look at the rating. these people are pathetic.

  • this is so funny to watch as a european!

  • They may as well have show the game in adult movie theatre. Those Mass Effect 1 sex scenes were pretty racy.

  • @MrMike0113 Theatres*.

  • "SPECIAL EDITION"XBOX

  • Blue Asscrack

  • I'm not an american and I always wondered why people keep joking about Fox News being shit. Now I know.

  • I've had enough of your disingenuous assertions! *Punch*

  • @Caylification This vid reminded me of that too!

  • it only lasted about 40 seconds

  • dear God. How can society be so out of touch? This blond woman acts so unnerved by the fact that she has to take part in her child's life. Maybe I'm weird for being apart of my daughter's life. We both love Mass Effect.

  • so stupid

  • so mass effect is sick and immoral, but grand theft auto is just fine? did they do grand theft auto and i never seen it? if not then wtffff

  • Its kind of funny how video games are getting all of the hate for violence and corruption now a days. if video games weren't made, they would blame it on television, or maybe, i dont know, school history class for teaching the kids about past wars? and im not alone here, when i say that cooper lawrence has never even played it, thats like calling The Blind Side a bad movie without actually veiwing the movie...its these kind of people that just blame the worlds problems on something like this

  • Lol

  • cunts

  • let's all go on to amazon and give cooper lawrence's book shitty reviews!! :D 

  • pacman is old now, welcome to the 21st century. cooper hasn't even played Mass Effect. don't argue about something you don't no about

  • Ok, we have an awesome dude who pwns fox, a whoreish feminist, and a retard. Yup, fox: fair and balanced my ass. I for one have played mass effect and its nothing to get worked up about. Fox, ditch the whoreish lesbian feminist and actually play the fucking game!

  • The women with hot bodies are objects are desire. How could you not get that. U aint hot and no1 wants u doesnt meant I dont wanna band a hot chik. FOX NEWS IS SUPER FUKIN DUMB.

  • Better yet, if shepard was there to defend himself...

    Dumb ass: (After some phycologist garbage)...Lets talk abou who the video game is for it might be for adults but if you look at the stati-

    Renegade interupt

    Shepard: I've had enough of your disingenuous assertions!

    (Punches her in the face)

  • 2:39 if it was me

    Me:have you ever played mass effect?

    Dumb ass:"Laughs" No

    Me:...THATS IT! END OF DISCUSSION! LEAVE THIS BUILDING AND HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME BECAUSE UNTIL YOU PURCHASE THIS GAME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT, I NOR ANY OTHER SENCIBLE PERSON CAN TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY!!!

    Dumb ass:...wha...?

  • fox is so right... whata tragedy now kids are gunnna find out about penis's and vaginas and boobs.... omg this is sickening, how could this happen. why would we want 13 year olds to realize that sex is a completely natural thing that happens everyday and caused them to be born... holy fuck holy fuck this world is crazyyy man.... *sarcasm* fuck fox these dumb fucks

  • They didnt let the guy who played the game get in on the round table

  • This is just so retarded I mean play the whole entire game first before coming up with a bunch of lies about something you've never experienced what morons

  • videogames dont make me violent BUT THESE MOTHERFUCKERS MAKE ME WANT TO BLOW THAT FUCKING NEWS ROOM TO PIECES

  • I'd just like to say that FOX made a whole big deal with ME1's "sex" scenes but didn't they actually make the simpsons movie in which you saw Bart's penis for a good minute...

  • this bitch should play custers revenge

  • "I'm not sure why this didn't get an adults only rating... Obviously, this board that rates them needs their heads checked"

  • Fox News is disgusting. Plain and simple & Cooper Lawrence's book sucks.

  • Why should people criticize something they've never experienced? A person criticizing a book they've never read. A person criticizing a religion they've never experienced.

    They worry about sex and violence in the media, but they champion on wars in the middle east and dumbing down sex education.

    HYPOCRITES.

  • bitches be stupid, bitches be stupid

  • *facepalm* 

  • Cooper Lawrence has her own radio show. She's a fucking moron and slut.

  • Fox news is likely the single most ignorant entity in the United States media. Rather than research about, you completely bash whatever intimidates or confuses you--not just other media, but other countries and ways of life, non-conservative perspectives, and anyone who isn't firing a gun or talking in a three piece suit for a living. You use the vast financial resources of a once relevant media empire to impose fear into anyone who comprehends as little as you do. You're all going to hell.

  • Hey billy what's that a new video game? yeah dad its awesome let me look at the box oh it says here its rated mature take the game out plz your too young to be playing that game" JOB DONE! parenting aint that hard. fucking morons "oh i dont have time to look at what my kids are doing ill blame a 20sec "sex" scene in a game for everything that goes wrong in the world" FUCKING MORONS and the most one sided panel in history way to be objective fox

  • Also, I love how Cooper complains about the 'sexist objectifying' of women in the game, yet goes on and calls Geoff 'darling' on national television.

    Un.Fucking.Believable.

    And a completely unexperienced, misinformed reporter given more airtime in contrast to a video-game expert, to express Fox's sensationalist views.

    Wow.

  • Cooper Lawrence should be shot in the head. Or rather, Fox News is woefully ignorant.

    Sexbox. How clever. And funnily enough, she follows this so-called 'research', yet fails to show any proficient knowledge or understanding of the game itself, which in turns destroys her own retarded arguments due to appeal to ignorance.

    Then again, it's Fox.

  • I've had enough of her disingenuous assertions.

  • you could have sex as many times as you want but the game designers just HAD to put joker in the game

  • Oh wow, this was way long ago and I still watch it and lulz. Hoy damn, man.  Ladies and gentlemen! I give you fox news.

  • First of all, Cooper is obviously a lesbian because she despises men so. And second, Geoff: "there's the side of an alien boob" LMFAO!

  • Heavy Rain? Anyone?

    God of War III? No?

    Witcher 2? Really?

    LA Noire? That doesn't count?

    WTF? How is Mass Effect called out and not the above?

    Society sucks outside of console these days it seems.

  • @RockCommandos None of those games existed at the time. It turns out that if you smack a retarded child with a stick when he does something stupid, eventually they figure out they shouldn't do it.

  • @GSSAGE7

    Eventually. FOX news really is a stupid news channel because a lot of thier stuff is pretty stupid. The people they bring on to talk about it - even more stupid.

  • Why is Fox News the only one that does this shit!?

  • This is ridiculous - I physically don't know how Fox get away with this, and I thank God that Americans see through this crap. I'm personally not American but I wish I was so that I could take a more active role in allowing fallacies like this to be broadcast. The horrible thing is, Bioware are one of the primary companies moving the medium towards a more mature and respected space. ALL of what they are saying is factually incorrect.

  • @bassben04 "Bioware are one of the primary companies moving the medium towards a more mature and respected space." You've obviously not played Dragon Age 2, haha. Anyways, I agree with everything you say. Aside from DA2 BioWare has been at the forefront of games innovation.

  • Man please that ho never even played the game and she's over here being a know it all. Somebody needs to shut the fu¢% up and go make me a sammich!

  • I wish I could rate down this video more than once.

  • The bitches in this video need to start making sammichs. Like right fucking now.

  • This wasn't thrashing. In order for anyone to thrash anything, they need to first have a grasp on it. It's pretty apparent that Fox News can't even get a grasp on reality let alone Mass Effect.

  • fox news needs to be blown up. all the do is shell out biased shit

  • "You have to be involved in what your children are doing" NO SHIT. They must be terrible parents.

  • The fact that they A) Talked him right down, B) Limited the time that he had to talk, and C) Refused to represent the gaming community on their "panel" all shows how they refuse to view the issue for anything more than their narrow-minded production goals. Goals that are entirely limited to creating as much indignant moralizing among the conservative demographic that frequents their louse-ridden channel.

    Fair and Balanced my ass.

  • FOX NEWS IS RETARTED

  • its simple if you want to keep your kids from seeing this shit play it first stupid pricks

  • I've never gotten so angry watching a video. How do these idiots even get themselves into the building?

  • Fox News is retarded. I'm still trying to figure out how they fucking still exist.

  • where is ezio when you need him.....

  • ummm where did they get sex from any of this and iv played it over multipule times but i dont know what sceen they are referanceing unless they have a time machine and are referering to the "sex scean"

  • LMAO!! "13-year-olds haven't seen Playboy"? Boy... this broad is either dumb or doesn't know what a 13-year-old-boy is.

  • Mass Effect is the single greatest video game series of ALL-TIME.....so fuck off Fox

  • @jimmyclarke16 Mm-mm. I've seen better. But I agree. It's an excellent game.

  • @GirtheAlienGoldfish yeah i kinda fan boy'd pretty hard there hahha, but i love mass effect....and Fox is compiled of shitheads entirely...but anyway yeah, big RPG fan, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Mass Effect, etc.

  • @jimmyclarke16 It's cool. Everyone does it every now and again. But my faves are Silent Hill, Final Fantasy, God of War, Devil May Cry.... I could go on, but it'd get lengthy. But the decision to allow a kid to play a certain game lies with the parents. Not the media or the government. My mom was cool enough to let me play T games when I was 6. But M rated games she had to play with me watching.... D<

  • @GirtheAlienGoldfish hahah that blows, i was allowed T games all the time, but i couldnt play M games until I was 10...and my first was Halo CE...lets just say that was a wonderful intro to shooters hahah
