Good we have NBC and FOX next we need to get it on THE DAILY SHOW! (Colbert Report too)

So Fox expects a website where every user acts like an immature asshat at least once during their life to be classy, publicly acceptable, and refined? Besides, religious TV channels are creepier than that.

I find it funny that the "child" always finds out about this stuff long before the parents do.
Also, am I the only one who's reminded of the voodoo doll bit from Creepshow?

lol@fox

oh for the love of... VIDEO GAMES DO NOT CAUSE VIOLENCE!!!!!!!! (and yes, i have an argument against your statement)
sure you have a link to the psychological effects that violent video games have on kids... well, guess what?
- first of all, that link was from four years ago. And although i realize that the video games have gotten more violent and "worse for kids" over 4 years, just read the rest of my argument.
- secondly, violent games do not CAUSE violence. they PROMOTE it, they REWARD it, and they help implant violence in one's mind, but they don't CAUSE it.
- third, you have to consider the OTHER factors that result in violence as well. does anyone ever think about these factors? no! it's all about how bad video games are for you. read this and i'm sure you'll find that your argument about "Video games CAUSING violence" is completely invalid. it does mention that video games are PART of the problem, but not ALL of it! in fact, they're an environmental problem at best!
- fourth, to go along with what i stated above, the more violent people become due to all the reasons in the above link, the more they will teach THEIR children violence, or use it on them.
- fifth, if you try to take away all the video games that are "violent", you'd pretty much be left with "Tele Tubbies Go To the Beach" and crap like that.

now prove me wrong. come on; try me

now then, to actually respond to Tom's post (this has got to be the most i've EVER written, lol), it IS sad that the media is supposedly trying to send all these messages about violence being bad, while at the same time promoting it to the unsuspecting audience. But that's what its all about, isn't it? It's all about pleasing the masses, the general public. People want violence to be scorned and shunned by those who "know what they're doing", yet at the same time it's entertaining. The media doesn't really want violence to be taken down... because then, there would be nothing for them to show to the average citizen! The human race (or a good deal of it anyway) has lost their touch with their necessity to hunt and kill food to survive. now, there is so much domestication and processing that we no longer need to kill our own food, we just go to the store. and since we have lost our naturally violent side, we long to see violence of other beings. we are no longer as sympathetic as we would be if it wasn't such a human rat race.
btw, i'm 13. have a great day.

P.S. awesome pic!

I said videogames can influence violence, you said videogames can promote violence.
What's the difference?

How the hell did they draw that?

that drawing would have been 80x more interesting if the creator made it in their own blood

but yeah the media is pretty dumb!

18 more til CC

So if you are the winner, how do you go about collecting your hundred dollars? Or do you just get 100 dollars in credit at the NG store?

I love how Faux covered their tracks at the end by making sure people know there's a "definite distinction" between passive entertainment that includes torture (i.e. 24) and active entertainment like the game.

Oh my.

FOX news sucks, they make a big deal out of everything

LOL, The Press are faggots, Let's have a "Press Day" where Newgrounders are obligated to submit a flash about any body in the news. Let's actualy call it "Fuck The Media Day" or "Muff The System Day".

I lub fox news <3

Actually...when you chopped up the dummy a lot, finally it's health bar goes away and it says "dead".
So yeah I think it was supposed to be alive...or like an example of a living person getting tortured.
But I agree, they should definitely focus on the good stuff on here, Waterlollies, Blockhead, "Awesome",
and the DAD shows.Of course they go straight for what's on the front page at the moment, which is...
the torture game 2...maybe if the good ones were listed on the front page they woulda saw them.

MSNBC is a bunch of old dudes who have never played a game in their lives, and same with FOX news. They don't understand why us young people love violent games and TV shows so, yet some of us aren't that violent at all. I'm not reffering to myself of course, but you get my point. Also:
Mutha fuckin' headshot.

I say there should be shirts with these torture drawings at the NG store!

Who's with me?

I always get EDGE, best magazine for game production, reviews and previews out there.

Everyone's so busy comlaining about the News that no one noticed the awesome picture that guy made in Torture Game 2. It's pure art. Whoever said Video Games aren't art probably never painted a picture in their life.

im back here to say that FOX or should it be GOB? GOB is Girly Overrated Bitches XD.they think we give a fuc about them they can kiss my white ass for all i care. they do u have hot chicks on it thought WOOHOO

Hehe that game deserves the credit.. It reminds me that NG can still stirr the media, just like when Kaboom! (suicide bomber game) came out.. I wonder if there's gonna be a sequel to that.

The people in the News are really stupid because there job is to report and make things sound over dramatic to get more views. But then because of this over protective mothers with hyphenated names try to get websites like Newgrounds of the internet. What people in America don't realize is that AMERICA DOESN'T OWN THE FUCKING INTERNET!!! And we have freedom of speech, so actually if you are offended by the game don't watch it.

To sum this up: Pinko Liberal Bisnitches always try to offened internet rights and they always make people think that they are in control. People like Hillary Clinton, Nancy Palloci and Rob Rhiner are just
dumbasses who think that children are effected by violent video games and they also want to change America into a Socilist Type Goverment. FUCK the democratic part and Fuck the system, Amecia and stupid ass American citizens need to back down they need to understand they are not the rulers of the world and they need to choose if they are going to respect peoples rights or if they aren't. They can't have their cake and eat it too.

One less thing to any body viewing this website: Fuck the Patriot Act, it is a violation of me as an American Citizen (I personally believe this act would be okay if it only allowed professional Govermental agencys to tap phone lines, not gay lawyers.)

Congratulations to chainsawmurderer53!
Enjoy your 100$.

I agree with SecretClock-- we should have an anti-press day. In fact, I think this site needs more themed days/contests, period. Maybe not with prizes or anything, but just an idea or theme to give people inspiration. Maybe people get enough inspiration from the events surrounding NG as it is. If a bunch of people made anti-Fox flashes, you KNOW Fox would report on it. "...personally insulting news anchors, profanely denouncing Fox News, and terrorizing innocent people like an INTERNET HATE MACHINE"

Hey I am not changing the thread topic but anyone who agrees we should have an anti-press day post this after your post:

"Say yes to anti-press"

I didn't even know the Torture Game existed before life posted the video on the BBS.

Congrats to chainsawmurderer53.

So, there's no sign-up necessary? I just deposit, and there's a 1 in (number of people who deposited) chance of me winning $100?

Just a side note... Fox and the Patriot Act are both products of right wing conservatives and not liberals. But yeah there's a lot of douchery out there.

i really freakin hope i win that $100 my family really needs the money

Congrats to the winner of the 100 dollars. I'm jealous. XD. It seems as though the Torture game has been getting a lot of publicity. Oh well, it'll just attract more people, I suppose.

Sorry Tommy F, yes Fox and the Patriot act are supposed to be from the conservatives and I agree with you but the conservative republicans were not acting like republicans when the Patriot act was passed. The purpose of the republican party was for a smaller and less powerful government but the Patriot Act actual goes against what the Republican party stands for so they were acting like democrats not liberals though (don't know why I said that). But I agree with you, total douchery. The Government is filled with fucked up hippocrits, let's leave it at that. ( as conservative as FOX news claims to be they are just liberal faggots.)

Hey! At least we slapped a MATURE rating on the game and made you click a link to view it... Fox just dumped it into every living room in America!

Well..damn.

Thos stupid bastards.

Well newgrounds wins either way, any publicity is good publicity so to speak.

That said what ever did happen to real news? I miss the good old days :(
