[quote]Since it's release in September of last year, the video game Destiny, Bungie's newest venture, has been extremely popular with people of all ages. Is this coincidence, a smash hit, or something more sinister from the legendary game designers?[/quote]
Skipping the boring part of the article and getting straight to the meat of it:
[quote]Perhaps Bungie's commercial success with the legendary Halo franchise has made them desperate to build up a larger and more dedicated fan base than newer rival 343 Industries, the part of the company that stayed with Microsoft, and the legendary franchise. This may have led to the questionable decisions by Bungie on gameplay and storyline that are affecting the unusually young audience (Brought in by the game's "Teen" rating from the ESRB) in a detrimental way, beyond the evils of a regular first person shooter.
The first way in which Destiny corrupts the youth of America is through the very idea of the main character, a member of an army blindly following a masked man called "The Speaker." Anyone who considers this at all sees the obvious real life parallel: Kim Jong Un and North Korea. This game teaches these young people to blindly follow a leader, possibly weakening their minds to North Korean propaganda.
A second risk caused by this game is an increase in suicide. In the game, a popular strategy is called "Wiping," where players agree to commit suicide (in game) to gain an advantage. This may desensitize children to the concept of suicide, as they respawn within a few seconds, actually better off than they were before. This teaches children that suicide is not only okay, but actually beneficial in some cases.
A final major issue is the introduction of a giant floating ball, called "The Traveller." Our expert researchers believe that this Traveller is designed to represent the Antichrist. It controls the Kim Jong Un-like Speaker, and leads them against an army of free people (Represented as inhuman monsters) in gory battles. It also grants them demonic powers, such as magical guns, knives, and other attacks. This evil magic should not be shown to the children of America, and should be treated as a serious threat to society. [/quote]

What do you guys think? I personally think Fox News is insane!
Please keep it clean and friendly. Last time I showed you guys this, some people got a little out of hand.
Edit: Alright, who bumped this?
-
Didn't realize there was a link, after reading the comments I immediately remembered seeing the article before, in which case I switched my poll choice to "I saw this coming"
-
Good laugh
-
There was an actual link I remember but Lol
-
Fox cant wake the hive without dying ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
-
Some people replied without clicking the link. I clicked the link and can only say "well played!" I did think that this was a bit too dumb, even for Fox! :)
-
I still lol'd at this.
-
"The main character, the speaker" - said no one ever
-
Fake as f**k
-
Blindly following a leader (speaker) Jesus *cough* jesus

A wipe isn't commuting suicide to be better off...? A wipe is to start the checkpoint over because we already know we're going to fail
-
Lol you have to much time on your hands
-
What part of di di mau don't you understand?

First off, this never happened. Second, news media corporations are never to be trusted, whether it be CNN, FOX, etc. They stir up the crap that keeps people riled up. Bunch of idiots imo.
-
They actually said this shit? Lmao what the actual -blam!-...
-
Edited by Tedward83: 10/12/2015 1:42:50 PMIs this a really elaborate and good rick roll? -blam!- it I'm checking. Edit: well played OP, the article quotes are very believable.
-
It's actually bad that people are believing this is true.
-
Well played. I wasn't sure to believe the "article's" quotes, but the link looked almost real, and Fox does really have polarizing opinions.
-
I would never read, watch or listen to anything from Fox news...
-
Bump for later
-
Those hash tags doe!
-
Gets me every time .... Damn lol

There is a difference Kim control you at nerf gun point and the speaker has no time to tell you
