Cooper Lawrence: I’m Sorry!

For those who listened to the podcast this week, have heard me talking about this "scandal" featuring Fox News, and Mass Effect. Fox, without playing the game, had labeled it has a sex simulator, to prove their point they had a debate. They brought on Geoff Keighly, and self proclaimed psychiartirst Cooper Lawrence, Cooper went out on a limb and labeled the game has a sex simulator, a menace to society, etc! Of course Lawrence and those at Fox were all wrong, and it really didn’t help that Fox plugged her book on air either. After the airing, gamers took it upon themselves to review her books on Amazon, like she reviewed Mass Effect on air! Her 3 books got crap ratings on Amazon, and it seemed like her career was ruined.

 

Today she came out with a apology, heres a quote:

…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."

 

I guess Lawrence learned something this week!
