I just think this is funny as hell (and sad in a way too). Some minor spoilers in the video. I wouldn't care if they just made a fuzz about sex and violence in games in general, but talking about mass effect even not knowing what it's about or even seen the scene is just crap.
And never underestimate the power of gamers and internet. :)

Seriously though, about the whole being desensitised to violence/sex from video games and such, I have to say that it is probably true that with all the violent stuff we see in movies, games, and such, we are desensitised to it, at least compared to those who don't see it, but of course I sure don't agree with the "Colimbine was because of whatever movie or video game thing". Are some people really influenced to not care about other people from this, or is it just something wrong with them anyway? It's kind of tough to say, and I just go by what I personally see in my life, not some stupid report that I can't see all of.
Porn makes men have no respect for women! Give me a break. I've looked at porn for quite a while and I don't just think of women as sex objects. Hell, I'm still a virgin even. My loss of respect for women comes from the cowardice and hypocricy I see so much from them. Actually, it's not just women, I just detest everyone it seems now. Though the stuff I'm typing here is actually a bit darker than what I actually feel. While I hate and am disgusted with everyone, I still hold the hope that I'm wrong and just generally try to help people when I can, even though I know I most likely won't get anything in return. It's just who I am I guess.
They have no idea what they're talking about. Someone told them there was sex in a game and they went haywire without even seeing it. Remember when it was reported that Sims 2 had nudity with fully detailed genitalia and graphic sex scenes etc?
From the videos I've seen of the "sex" scenes in mass effect, it's very tasteful. It's not exactly the usual "pizza boy shows up on a chick's doorstep and she proceeds to unzip him and suck him off" storyline.
I don't remember the exact words, and I don't want to watch the video again for fear of damaging the monitor, but I don't know whether to laugh or cry when someone interviewed says something to the effect of it's sad that parents have to control what their kids are exposed to, instead of the government doing it for them. I realize most people don't know what parenting means, but this is utterly ridiculous.

Still, IMO the sex scene isn't why Mass Effect got the M rating.
Funny how the "panel" completely ignores information conveyed by the one person who has actually played the game and goes on to condem the developer, the ratings board and parents....good work Fox News
BTW, how is this any different than a rated R movie?

Because only little children play video games. And immature adults. Duh.
I for one, am planning to make the most of it. I'll need a front porch, a shotgun, a rocking chair, a screechy voice, and neighbor kids stupid enough to play on my lawn so I can threaten them. Sure, my fifties might be a little young to try to pull that crap, but I don't think anyone will mind. So long as I've got that shotgun.
The "Full Nudity" scene was shown in their interview. Uncensored.
Yep, that thar is full nudity folks!
Now, if they wanted to rant...the Witcher brings up sex every 5 minutes, LOL. Still, never see anything in the game except a card. heh. (Just as well, seems a bit pointless overall though)

Truthfull news?
Ditto. Just dont go threatening my kids.! :p
You'll also need a knife and a nice block of wood for whittlin'. And don't forget the spittoon... gotta have a spittoon.

The UK had to make a special law just for Faux to be on the air. As there news was so bad.
