There is dishonesty afoot in the fair lands of ABC News. Some n'eredoweller has seen fit to blatantly and unabashedly lie about the accuracy of a story in order to whip up anti-video game hysteria. Good heavens, this couldn't be perpetrated by the intrepid truth-seekers from the fourth estate have been caught with their pants down in a shamless effort to create news where none existed! Hark! Doth mine ears hear the sounds of yon barristers from Nintendo on approach?
Hah! All I can say is that this story has made my day! It's about time that someone finally caught the mainstream media in an outright slander/libel case against video game makers and gamers. For years they have been selling their news about how video games are going to destroy the youth of America, and finally they have been exposed. It used to be that video games were going to cause a wave of violence (some still try to sell that one), and now it's apparently a playground for pedophiles.
Couldn't have happened to a better company. Stuff like this proves why bloggers are getting credit where they may not even deserve it. With this much unprofessionalism in the most important media outlets, who can you trust these days? Parents, remember this incident the next time the media shouts "oh no! Video games will make demons out of your children!"


Even if they lie, it's in our best interest. They are the benevolent gatekeepers.
What really matters is not the fact that they just made up a bunch of stuff and undermined the public's faith in the press once again, but rather the fact that they cared. Caring means lying when it is in the best interests of the public. Sometimes you have to lie to the masses because they have the maturity of children and cannot handle complex ideas like video games not being inherently harmful to children.
I read the article. What caught my attention was the comment that said something about gamer's having enormous schlongs.
Maybe I should game more...
Well of course we have bigger schlongs. That's how we balance our hot pockets while playing on our XBoxs ;)
