Warning: Be wary of offensive Wii games

Now we just call idiotic Americans the majority

Agreed.

@ pastakeith (and anyone else who found this to be political biased)

I apologize, I really wasn't aiming for a political bias here. What I was aiming for was a critique of so called "journalists," reporting false information about a video game and setting it up to be crucified, which is what Fox News did. Perhaps it was an overarching complaint about video game critics in general, but we've also expressed anti-censorship tendencies when it comes to the banning of Manhunt 2 in the UK.

Since we are Nintendo Wii Fanboy (a video game blog), we most likely *will* be biased when it comes to the issue of video games press and politics. What we want is for video games to be treated fairly, like other types of media, and not misrepresented to the public via the news or some sort of political agenda, or whatever.

This post was *not* meant to be anti-conservative ... as we've seen, liberals can be just as harsh when it comes to issues like video game censorship. If a network like CNN had done this report, we would have been just as critical/biting/sarcastic in our remarks. I'll apologize for making the post sound politically biased, but I *won't* apologize for presenting Fox News in a negative light. In my eyes, they deserve it.

And I'm tired of liberals while they lump all conservatives into brain dead idiots who mindlessly follow someone else's orders while they whine and whimper and promote mindless causes they don't actually believe in.

Political sweeping generalizations are bad, mkay?

(No the previous statement was not my personal opinion.)

The fox news story is the epic of non-stories. Fox News pointed out that the game was adult themed and potentialy being marketed out of it's demographic. (it is, and it could be interpreted as such). The problem is, the chick that they brought on had no experience with the game (and has since retracted her statements.) Fox New's anchor didn't say anything you wouldn't expect from someone that isn't familiar with the industry.

The hand ringing over the issue comes from way too many repressed impassioned people trying to find some common foe to hate ever since Jack Thompson disappeared into oblivion a few months ago and spend their days re-watching the same 5 minute throw away story and finding every line and letter that seems off and finding as many "wrongs" committed in a sentence as possible.

So, lets just keep the politics out of the forums. This kind of story makes gamers look bad. (not the original one on that transparently biased medium, but our bitter, rage filled response to it.)
