Xbox Live = Bigots?

This is a short video done by one of the host on the G4 network. Now, as many of you know I can't stand G4 (most if not all of the programming is crap and it caused the fall of TechTV) but occasionally some good stuff comes out of it; this being one of those times.

I don't have an Xbox 360 or have even had a Xbox so I've never actually been on Xbox Live. I have played several PC games online and have heard similar comments made. My freinds who do have Xbox Live do concur that this happens, a lot! If you are one of these people who are doing this, please stop, Adam is right, once the media finally figures out that violent games are not training grounds for mass killings and the people who play them are not socially retarded, they will start crusading about how they make the players into racist, sexist bigots. And unlike the other outlandish claims about violence, they will have some ground to stand out.

If you are a parent and this is the first time you are hearing about this, sorry, you are not doing your job. If your kid is playing online, take a second and listen in on what they might be saying over that headset, it might surprise you. As for the rest of us who actually like to socially interact online and do so in a responsible manner, keep it clean, keep it fun, and I'll see you online.
