That F'in News! Dammit God! I was so pissed when I read that. At least that girl was smart enough just to turn it off. The media tries to exagerate on video games so much. Like it said, It only works up to like 65 feet. Stupid news and strangers...

WTF is the difference between that "online" predator scare in the late 90's. Media hype bullshit. It's not hard to end the conversation and leave the area when an obviously small risk potiential is involved.

i thought of starting this since i watched it. It actuelly had me so pissed that i started writing letters to them. I also say anybody that is as equally pissed as I am say you should write a letter also. Balieve me if enough ppl are pissed off they will change their mind on the subject.

What's funny is how she contradicts herself in her final line (Nintendo replies... only 60 feet), and then dismisses other gaming systems which are far more dangerous for something like this (Live chat) without offering more information.

Repeat after me, children:
American newsmedia sucks donkey 'nads. Increase by a factor of 4 if it's local, Fox, or on a station owned by Sinclair.

I believe Fox 11 in green bay here fits all three of those spots.
Anyway, its a new age, so anyone can talk to anybody. You just have to realize that NOT EVERYBODY WANTS TO TOUCH YOUR PEE PEE!!!

I'm so glad I didn't major in journalism as I originally intended.
