"FOX News Takes Stand On Green Gaming"

[kane_magus]

Really, Faux Noise? Seriously? Flower (i.e. the game shown on the right panel at the very beginning of the embedded video when they're talking about the "green police") is corrupting America's youth now?

"Obviously there’s no real point in getting too worked up about FOX News for every specific story relating to a subject you care about. Instead it’s better to simply maintain a permanent worked up state about the network at all times. Because it’s genuinely frightening to watch the host’s slimy pretence to offer the alternative arguments, before explaining why they’re wrong and dangerous."

Yep, that sums up Faux Noise in a nutshell on just about every subject they ever cover, generally speaking. Though, for me, "a permanent worked up state about the network" nowadays just translates to "a permanent state of contempt and ridicule for the network." It's just not worth actually getting truly worked up over them anymore. At best, they're worth maybe an eyeroll and a weary sigh. Everyone but their most diehard supporters already knows that they are, they always have been, and they always will be full of crap, anyway. It's just too bad and more than a little scary that they have a lot of diehard supporters, is all.

"A permanent state of contempt and ridicule for the network" sounds pretty good to me.

Kotaku had this story too, though they dissed Fox mostly on the constant referencing of "kids playing Sim City" because seriously, who plays Sim City endlessly these days and worries about nuclear vs. wind power plants? Nobody, just Fox News and their "hay guy buddy" radio host chud.

What little I've played of the Sim City games, sooner or later I always got bored trying to play it the "right" way and just ended up sending in a tornado/volcano/meteorite/giant robot/whatever. I'm pretty sure that's the case for a lot, perhaps even a majority, of people who play it. I wonder how that fits into their pinko liberal green police conspiracy theory.
