As sad as it is (and it's pretty sad)...I think the BEST possible result from this story is that EA SUES THE LIVING HELL out of FOX News for doing this BS story in the first place. I'm fairly sure even the most gaming ignorant judge would call this slander and EA would milk big (ok medium sized) bucks from FOX "news" for doing this crap. And THAT would be the ONLY thing to prevent this kind of thing from happening again.

Am I the only idiot who see's this as being HUGE? I mean, yes, WE know it's BULLSHIT. But do all the other morons who watch FOX News as their primary source of information? No...and sadly there are a lot of them.

As a person who really enjoyed Mass Effect, and I even saw that sex scene, they are correct, ive seen more graphic stuff in Family Guy and the OC.

And as much as id like to see EA sue the living hell out of FOX, it will never happen or work as FOX is an evil huge Republican corporation.
