It seems that we can't get Fox News to disappear by simply ignoring it. I think it's time to put plan B in action. Now, where can I find some nuclear warheads...

You'll find that people ask these questions on the internet as well, Fox. Just because somebody used a game console to deliver a message does not mean it is a problem with the games console.
You know I thought this was an old story just by the picture of the original X-box. Stupid stock photos.Aby_Z said:
Well, I have to say, considering Fox's history with video games, this article is actually pretty factual and reasonab -

They're just saying "sexual predators" can harass you on Xbox live. They're not saying it's the devil's toy.
It's just a warning to report predators. Quit the jumping to conclusions.

I don't know whether to ROFLMAO or /doublefacepalm.
Oh, Fox news, how I love thee.
BTW; is it just me, or was that article some of the worst journalism ever written? For example;
"But XBOX live, Play Station 3 and even Wii have become a sexual predator's playground." Funny how two of those are consoles and the other is a network platform.
"McWhorter reported the unwanted encounter to XBOX, and Romantic Devil was blocked from contacting her." This was a ROFL moment.
"That's because there are ways to track down criminals through cyberspace." What a grammatically horrible paragraph. My 14 year old cousin in Taiwan (who's not bilingual, and Mandarin is her native language) doesn't make that kind of crap paragraphs.
I really don't think the author knows the difference between XBOX, XBOX360, and XBOX Live. For an investigative reporter, that Heidi person really didn't do a whole lot of investigating. Nor did he/she do a whole lot of reporting. I hope she's just an intern or something; I really can't justify to myself how someone can get paid regularly for this kind of stuff.

Take comfort in that fact that the last face you see will be surounded by a halo of my glorious hair and rejoice!Furburt said:
All that report really said is that parents should be aware of what their kids are doing online, and that they shouldn't give out personal information.
That's all true information.
There probably are predators out there on Live, PSN, or whatever. Even if only .001% of players is one, they're out there. Talking about them isn't wrong just because it's a small problem.
Of course, since it's news, they sensationalize it and make it seem like a bigger deal than it is. "Someone think of the children" sells, after all. But I wouldn't call this report all that inaccurate. I mean, yeah, Fox News is a joke and we all know that, but I don't really see the big deal here.

Now now! If you beat your sons into submission the priest won't have anybody to molest! Think of the children!Furburt said:
The problem is they're taking a few rash morons and assuming the ENTIRE XBL and PSN community douchebags are adults posing as kids to sexually predatorize youths . . .Saucycardog said:
