So, for those of you that play video games, you may have heard this already. Those that haven't heard, Mass Effect went under fire from Fox News in which they claimed in the game "You'll see full digital nudity and the ability for players to engage in graphic sex." as well as "Critics say Mass Effect is being marketed to kids and teenagers."

The funny thing about this is that there is no full frontal nudity nor are there graphic sex scenes. The worst that there is is an alien butt and the side of a naked boob (no more than what you see on todays TV shows and movies) and even at that, not everyone will see that scene as this is one of those games where the actions you take control the the way the story unfolds.

It's just sickening to me that these news stations get wind of something terrible and run with it without researching it first just so they can the the first ones to report on it.
