Jandy pwns FOX on computer game ratings

Unlike this blogger I do have a gripe about FOXNews, which I consider to be a condensation exclusively of all of Rush Limbaugh’s worst features, minus his talent.

But I still would have trusted the description of the game if she hadn’t set the record straight.

It always horrifies when I realize how shows I like are catering to much younger viewers. During the last season of Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls I had to shut off the TV really fast lest I be tormented by some kind of girl pajama party that would “discuss” the shows and advertise clothing for that age bracket. As far as I am concerned, the show should have never solicited that demographic.

But, that being said, I notice no one at FOXNews reported that children were being exposed to sex, drinking, liberalism, adultery, and law-breaking of various kinds. Video games are somehow attractive for these sorts of hysterical and mostly inaccurate attacks. (Sometimes the attacks are accurate but the game itself is such a loser that the attention of the media is the worst thing that could possibly happen. If they had left it alone, no one would have played it.)
