Clueless News


Lazy journalists just love to drag out the tired, "not just for kids anymore" line when hacking out articles about comic books. When assigned a porn expose, they usualy dust off a mystical, and highly doubtful sales figure. This, uncredited (natch) piece of journalism from Sixty Minutes II uses both tacts, then namedrops several old, poorly-reviewed, unpopular games such as BMX XXX, The Sims and "Bill Gates' favorite game" Fusion Frenzy to bolster their cred.

Talk about having their finger on the pulse.
