These people have there heads in the sands .... tell them to try playing your average teen vid game .. violence...OMG ..LMAO .... People are fucked in the head.... the closer DC gets to heavy metal the better.. it's about time.

@ajjs02 Fox News did a lot of stories on video games. And they've mostly been commentated on and rebutted to death. Like they did for Mass Effect and CoD MW2.

Is it still possible for me to make a commentary on Fox News? Plus, Marvel comics went that same route that DC did when it comes to Watchman in the 1980s: Marvel Ultimate Series.

@cksmith08 Do what you wish. This wasn't posted so long ago. It's probably still relevant. I did a commentary on this story myself. watch?v=1ZtSQuqFQjc

I showed this to someone I talk to online and his response was

Hellspawn28: "I'm sorry, I thought this was 2012, not the 1940's?"

So they're shocked that comics RATED FOR TEENS have themes FOR TEENS, so FOX News goes to a middle school and shows it TO KIDS?

Fox journalists are the most retarded people in the world, like seriously...

[HOTROD]

Does anyone know when DC will start to print their ratings on their collected editions and original graphic novels? Because so far,i noticed that they only do so for their single issues.

[ndf27ps3]

Also, WTF, if their saying comics make kid "evil" then why are they showing them to kids?!?

[ndf27ps3]

These stories werent made for kids

[ndf27ps3]

Um, I dont think fox understand

[HOTROD]

@Mgorky ya,kind of agree.Both DC and Marvel should at least moderate their ads in their books age appropriately so that these FOX morons will have nothing to use to justify their ridiculous claims...

re "Seduction of the Innocent" -

youtube - ?v=GI8IJA8kdkI

hit wikipedia with Seduction of the Innocent

[Mgorky]

Instead we get a cookie cuter dumb seduction of the innocent report staring their own Fredric Wertham, it's like they watched some old news reels and wanted to recreate them. Right down to the BS claim that reading these comics with SEX in them will make the kids "aggressive".

Not to mention they go show the offending comics to just the very kids they say they are bad for....??? wtf

So for a story on porn, can i show penthouse to under age kids?

[Mgorky]

Actual journalism would have them asking more intelligent questions like, why does DC stupidly do the same ad buys across their whole line so that ads targeted to youth readers appear in their mature content titles making it seem like the books are making a subversive appeal to young readers?

And why did they take characters they put so much time into making kid or brain friendly and then abandon that? Both valid points to call DC on.
