Fox News Attacks Environmentally Conscious Games

[Shakomaru]

I laughed when they didn't realize it's not for kids. First they say all gamers are 20 and live in their parent's basements, and then they say only kids play games. Just pick one and stick with it, we shouldn't care either way, because they'll just say stupid things. It's what they do!

I know this is redundant and everyon'e said it before, but I think ol' Jim Morrison said it best.

You're all a bunch of f*%king idiots.

 

[Zhukov]

Yeah, well... it's Fox.

...

Not much more to say. Once Fox News is involved, stupidity is guaranteed to ensue.

 

[Kinokohatake]

This is, quite possibly, the DUMBEST thing I have ever heard in my entire life. And that's saying something. I mean my sister said, during our second day at the beach, "Man there is sand everywhere". THIS BEATS THAT!

 

[Joey245]

I think I'm gonna piss myself from laughing so hard.

They can't possibly be THIS stupid, right?

...

...right?

Does Tetris have a Communist agenda? If so then I might as well paint myself red and streak through Red Square. If only Fox had used their expert researchers to find out then I wouldn't be in such a pickle. I'll book a flight to Moscow just in case.

What is funny is that Fox is behaving as cartoonishly as those strawman villains on captain planet.

I couldn't put it better my self.

But really they attack Flower? FLOWER?! Its like the mores family friendly game out there, I just wish fox will just disappear.

FOX: No one is talking about us and we hits for sweeps! Quick! Make a report talking shit about another game and we'll make up the low week with rage hits! Those heathen gamers fall for it every time.

I think it's a bit amazing that Fox have achieved one feat. The feat in question is that whenever I see the word Fox have an opinion I instantly disregard it as idiotic. I am happy to listen to all opinions and will defend you right to have hat opinion(within reason of course) but whenever I see Fox I just know that whatever comes out of their mouth will be hate mongering garbage.

There is nothing wrong with Environment based games. They are at most trying to raise environmental awareness and that is all. Not trying to be political or trying to hurt anyone. Just making a fun game with an environmental message. Also focusing on how they say it's too much for 5 year old children, that is nonsense. Many kids these days are playing games outside their age range(I happen to know someone in a class my Mum helps in, plays GTA4 and he can't be more than 8). If it wasn't suitable for 5 year olds it wouldn't be rated for 5 year olds(which it isn't) and therefore the parents shouldn't let their 5 year olds play them.

I hate Fox news.

On today's news, breading, it keeps you alive by burning oxygen into energy. But do we really need it? Find out what the government isn't telling you and how it can be hazardous to your children, from our expert special guest, Man we found on the corner with large sign around neck raving like a lunatic. Only on Fox News, where we'll never let the truth, logic, reason or reality get in the way of a good story.

 

[Blind Sight]

Seriously, is there anything about games that they don't attack or think is a moral threat?

'We are outraged that games have the audacity to have environmental messages'?

Now I disagree with a lot of environmentalist arguements and opinions but I would still argue that they're allowed to hold and express their opinions and beliefs (of course providing said expression doesn't step into the realms of misinformation or manipulation but that is a completely unrealted issue), so Fox taking this stance goes beyond stupid and closed minded in my opinion.

You've pretty much summed up the situation perfectly. The FOX News channel really needs to cut the propaganda. That's not to say that all FOX channels are completely terrible, I find that certain shows on FOX Business like Stossel and Freedom Watch actually try to develop a dialogue (or in the case of Freedom Watch, have an actual judge explain the Constitution). That's also not to say that other people, such as MSNBC's Cenk Uygar, don't misinform to support their own opinion, but this is a form of institutionalized propaganda. FOX News fails to provide any kind of logic or rationality to their arguments, most of their 'opinions' are pre-determined. Hell, I don't even blame the producers of the show, there's been reports that the higher-ups write memos to the news room telling them what their opinion on a subject is going to be.

 

[Russian_Assassin]

Give them a break! Gaming hasn't had any controversial events for a long time and Fox is just trying to find something to complain about, making them relevant in the eyes of dumb people again.

Does anyone really watch Fox news nowadays anyway?

 

[Daveman]

Fucking hell Fox News... you hate GTA because apparently kids will all become murderers and next you hate on the friendly games that encourage you to be nice?

BREAKING NEWS: Monopoly makes kids more ruthless property developers and Scrabble is un-American because "Quran" scores better than "Bible".

 

[Doom972]

Fox news makes it seem, to the eyes of a non-US citizen, that the US is officially without any real problems worth discussing.

 

[WanderingFool]

Okay, thats fucking it... anyone, ANYONE, who watches Fox News for its faux value, should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[MLChanges]

If this

wasn't a hoax I bet they'd defend it for it's historical value

 

[Archemetis]

Fox says something stupid, no one surprised.

We could just do away with these articles and just show 'FOX IS FUCKING STUPID' every now and again, it would save a lot of effort that, frankly, Fox isn't worth.

This is pretty much it.

If only we could power cities with how stupid Fox News is...

 

[Somethingfake]

I don't expect them to be unbiased, but I at least expect the knuckle dragging slack jawed low browed mouth breathing Neanderthals be consistent in their hate filled ignorance.

"Oh noes! GTA turns our angel children into mass murderers!"...."Oh noes! A nice game without murder and teaches you to be nice to the enviroment is EVIL!"

 

[Something Amyss]

Really? Really? Are Fox news just extremist conservative idiots just for the sake of being extremist conservative idiots?

Considering they've yelled at people just for OPTING to be considerate? Yes.

Additionally, if making a profit off something makes your message dubious, didn't they just undermine their own credibility? Well, to anyone with a thought process?
