Cooper Lawrence Regrets Lashing Out Against Mass Effect

Posted by x3sphere on January 27, 2008 @ 2:51 am


Cooper Lawrence, the talk show host that went up against Spike TV’s Geoff Keighley in a controversial debate on FOX News over the very-mild Mass Effect love scene, has admitted that she “misspoke” on the matter and regrets giving viewers an inaccurate impression of the game.

I recognize that I misspoke. 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. But it’s not like pornography. I’ve seen episodes of ‘Lost’ that are more sexually explicit.

What a surprise. FOX puts Lawrence on air full well knowing that she had never seen the game. Still though, Lawrence could have avoided this by actually spending time to research Mass Effect before going on air. Like, you know, just watching a video of the scene. Both parties are at fault, but at least Lawrence admitted it.

Oh, and NOW she knows she's wrong.
If she was in china or countries with Chinese culture, she's already fired.

I'm shocked she did this cause based on the interview and the way she spoke she just seemed like a snobish individual who wouldn't apologize. Not that this apology will go far cause the story aired on national TV but the apology as of yet hasn't been shown really publicly. At least she admitted that she made a stupid call and hopefully won't do it again.

Oh well. At least some might see this and it will clear Mass Effect's name cause it's a great game and all should play it.
