Victory!

Well, maybe people who are completely idiotic and dumb can actually be enlightened... I've seen it happen.

The crazy self-proclaimed psychologist Cooper Lawrence that went up against Jeff Keighley on Fox News about Mass Effect (calling it pornography and saying how horribly horrible it is) has actually LOOKED at the game since condemning it, and SUPRISE! She realized that she was being ignorant and stupid.

To quote an interview with the New York Times:
...Ms. Lawrence said that since the controversy over her remarks erupted she had watched someone play the game for about two and a half hours. "I recognize that I misspoke," she said. "I really regret saying that, and now that I've seen the game and seen the sex scenes it's kind of a joke.
"Before the show I had asked somebody about what they had heard, and they had said it's like pornography," she added. "But it's not like pornography. I've seen episodes of 'Lost' that are more sexually explicit."

The first step is admiting you have a problem. Thank you, Ms. Lawrence.

Fox News has not yet recanted what they themselves said on the show, and are basically ignoring requests from EA (who owns Bioware, developer of Mass Effect) to do so.
