COOPER LAWRENCE IS SORRY ... KIND OF



After appearing on Fox News to induce the latest media frenzy over a supposed sex scene in a video game, author Cooper Lawrence wasn't real excited about elevendy billion gamers descending on amazon.com to bash review her book in retaliation. She tells MTV...


"In hindsight, I would have liked to have had the opportunity to play this game before appearing on the program," Lawrence said in a statement released to MTV News by her publicist. "As a developmental-psychology expert, I was asked to appear on this particular show to discuss the broader issue of video games and their impact on developing adolescents, not as an expert on 'Mass Effect.' "


Never mind the fact that...
1. She had no idea what she was talking about
2. The game was rated appropriately not for kids (M-Mature)
3. There's racier sex stuff on 7 p.m. on Fox TV shows (see Joe Millionaire getting a BJ in the woods)

The point everyone fails to bring up with sex in video games is ... WHAT ABOUT THE EFFING violence??? How has American culture been mind-fucked by religion into thinking that sex is the worst thing ever.

I played Gears Of War last night with a bunch kids who sounded like their balls haven't dropped yet. In Gears of War you can fucking saw people in half with a chain saw and they scream "AAHHHHHHH" while you do it.

No media coverage on that. No parent outcry. But the moment you throw some CONSENSUAL sex into the mix... Holy shit get your picket signs!!

If i had 10-year-old kids i'd let them watch that Mass effect clip on a continuous loop for days before i let them play Gears of War. Of course, I also don't think sex is evil, which i'm probably going to hell for.
