Fox News always has some lulzy reports. Sometimes about games too.

Now we all know that this Fallout 3 was catered and made specifically to sell to the seX-Box crowd.

Do you guys think there will be any media fallout :)roll:) when FO 3 gets released due to the violence (that never gets old), etc. and what would the headlines possibly look like (i.e. what would Jon McCain say about Fallout 3)?

The GTA series seems to have been widely accepted and GTA 4 barely caused a notable splash, but here we have some sequel to a game no one's heard of with liberal drug use and shooting off of body parts in slow motion and prostitution, oh my!

A few months back Fox News mistook a screenshot from FO3 as terrorist plans for America as part of their "Scare Americans away from Obama!" campaign.

Of course as usual it backfired on them when Olberman exposed and abused them for their stupidity.

You would think that even a house organ propaganda machine would on occasion try to do SOME research before running with a story.

I think you're thinking of when one of the Fallout 3 concept arts was actually used in a "terrorist website", and was put in a report by some terrorist-covering organisation as such

The Story
Part 2

Thanks. There's an MSNBC link there, but no Fox, apparently.

If Fallout 3 is a success, the terrorists win.
