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.
