Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Jan 23, 2008 10:35pm PSTGood morning Shackers, hope the day finds you well.
Do you know how hard Nick works in the video mine every week? Let's just say he does it so you don't have to face the awful truth. Show your appreciation by checking out his latest Replay Couch . Also, Aaron brings word on some of the changes to GTA IV.
Even if you don't like the word "Blog", the results are rather nice:
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag for PC to come after consoles
DTS Headphone:X brings 11.1 channel surround sound to headsets
Xbox One policy change means loss of family sharing, disc-free gaming
Crytek working on The Collectibles for iOS

"From what I have heard, this book is not just pornographic and ethically-repulsive, it is dangerous. Unlike the video game and movie industries, the publishing industry is not regulated by a ratings authority. There is no mechanism in place to inform parents about the contents of this book, or any other book, before allowing their children to read.
This book's title seems positive, when the actual book is anything but. The effort of the author and publishing company to market this book towards children is disturbing to say the least. While they claim that this book is actually marketed towards young adult women there is not yet an effective way to stop children from purchasing this book. The purveyors know this and see it as nothing more than an advantage to their bottom line.
And even if there was such a mechanism in place, do you really think that children wont be able to get their hands on this book? Do you keep your pornographic books in a locked safe? The majority of book readers do nothing to protect their children from offensive books. And why should they have to? The job of being a parent is hard enough without filth like this infecting our children's minds.
If you work at Amazon and are reading this I would fervently petition you to do everything in your power to remove this book and every other book by y Cooper Lawrence from your store. If you are a customer who was considering purchasing this book I can only strongly recommend against it. The rest is up to you.
I would recommend this product instead:
Mass Effect"
