Breaking: Fox News Doesn’t Know what the Hell It’s Talking About
Here’s a fun way to start the day: watch this Fox News clips regarding the Xbox 360 game Mass Effect, and try and count how many things are wrong (I gave up at about 44).
For those needing help playing at home, Mass Effect contains absolutely no hardcore sex and no nudity except for a Lohan-ian amount of sideboob. Yet Fox News?who the general consensus is pretty confident has never played Mass Effect, or likely even seen it?are happy to call it “Like Skywalker meets Debbie Does Dallas.” Frankly, I’m most upset that any “professional” organization would have the gall to ignore all rules of punctuational decency and have “SE”Xbox for a headline.
