Victory is ours! Based on the overwhelming reaction to Townhall.com writer Kevin McCullough's article concerning the videogame Mass Effect equating to some sort of Nazirapedeathmachine he has formally issued an apology! Get some Kleenex handy because you will be moved to tears by the heartfelt jesture:

Based on the multitude of response by gamers who share my concern for decency in the entertainment of our children, it is obvious that I had been misinformed on at least two points of substance in my original column.

For this I DO apologize to the gaming universe!

Wow. Touching, eh? He doesn't bother explaining which two "points of substance" he now believed he'd been "misinformed" about but I'm guessing the first one was the bit about "virtual orgasmic rape" and the second was every other @!$%#ing sentence he shat out his piehole.

Also, is there any meaning to this paragragh that doesn't sound creepy as hell?

Since yesterday's response many gamers who have written have offered more assistance in unlocking obscenity and dangerous content in the video game world. That is much appreciated.

Wow. This is the most traffic this blowhard's ever going to get on his little TownHall.com column. And, most likely the most insightful comments and discussion he'll get too. Once the gamers leave he can go back to preaching to his Muscleheads (Really?! That's what you call your listener/readers? And we're supposed to take them and you seriously?).

The only thing I'm left thinking about after all this kerfuffle is that this guy now knows what topic he can go to if he needs to pump up page hits and bring in callers on his radio show. Next he'll be rallying against the girl-on-hedgehog action (veiled Ron Jeremy reference) in the latest Sonic game.

Oh well, he's had his couple of days of fame. Now it's time for him to slink back into obscurity. At least there he can live in peace with his "girlfriend", a broomstick with a picture of Ann Coulter's face taped to the head.
