When will this end?!
I just saw a FOX News piece on Mass Effect a game I found simply amazing, and I have to say WHEN WILL THIS BS END.
They stated that because of the famous Mass Effect sex scene the game is unfit for kids and should probably be burned on a stick together with the people that created it.
For those of you who haven't played or heard of Mass Effect it is a action RPG made by Bioware (Famous for very good plot evolved games), and in the game after approximately 20 hours you may or may not unlock a romantic plot that leads to a 2 minute very "soft core" and tasteful sex scene with a alien. In this scene in which they claim "Full Digital Nudity" you can see her ass and just a bit of side boobs.
Out of this comes the controversy and very BAD opinions that are un-based and un-researched They even stated they did NOT play the game but opinions they do have.
In fact the impression I got from that is that in their opinion sex "even revolved around love" is a bad and immoral act.
Do we really live in a world were the act of making love has become shameful?
Parent's try to keep their kids in a air-tight box without any actual real life. Sex and Violence are part of life and shooting ppl in a video game does not turn you in to a monster if your parents care just a bit about your education.
If what they sid was true by now I would have become a mass murderer madman. I have played they most Violent games since about 2000, thats 8 years of violence and even yes sex scenes and yet I haven't bee in a fight in well over a year and haven't started one in triple that time.
I just have to ask when will a Political figure get up and say EDUCATION NOT CENSORSHIP. I see campaign against violent games which inevitably leads to the other big problems Like piracy and disconnection between kids and parents.
Let's face it if you don't allow a kid to do anything that has violence and some sexual content by the time they are 12 or 13 they would have figuered out a way to pirate Violent games an Porn if from curiosity but from spite towards they parrent's.
On a last note IMO Mass Effect is in fact an educational game fit for any boy or girl above 14 or 15, it teaches that there is more to sex than just a physical act and that actions have impact on more then just ones self.

I agree with you....they need to stop.
And a very bad story coverage. Jesus, how I hate ignorance...
