1 - Good for Sony
Free advertising is always welcome, they haven't trashed the game as I thought they would, so this can be considered positive press I guess.

2 - This game is going to sell just 'cause of the drama
Kinda like Too Human,but I think Fat Princess might actually be a good game worth all the attention.

Well perhaps in America it could be renamed "Average Princess" as 63% of them are over weight.

Not my statistic, there's http://www.americansportsda...

Baywatch lied to us :(

3.2 - That's pretty funny
...but that's what happens when you have so many food choices and a culture focused on sitting on your @$$ and watching MTV while eating bon bons and reading a cosmo.

The plague of plenty.

Still, any publicity is good publicity. Although FOX news is about as credible as VGchartz.

nice one Fishy ... it is true! Too many overweight people in America!

Back to the article ... as Serg said, its 'free' publicity! It also received a great response @ E3.

I don't get it ... Mario is a fat Italian plumber. Why isn't FOX talking about that?

Just Like You Princess.

Too Funny.

Any for the record, I'm not fat, I'm just short for my weight even though I'm 6'3. Apparently I'm supposed to be 7'4.

I love fox (and I know I am a minority here, but it is the highest rated news network)

They cant stand people like feminists and hippies and sh*t. What is the problem with a fat chick in a game? Fat chicks cant be in games? All they are doing by protesting a game is getting people to make fun of them even more. LOL. I dont see anyone upset with Tekken's Bob (clearly making fun of Americans)

Fox news hates anything liberal. Why is it a surprise that they disagree with feminists?

Is this a Fox doesn't mind video games piece or a Fox hates feminist one; I reckon I know which.

Are all US news readers fatuous bints like that blonde woman; she seems like she couldn't express intelligent thought if her life depended on it.

Not all, just the vast majority on Fox. Sorry, I know a lot of people watch Fox for the news entertainment aspect, but their news readers are little more than establishment mouthpieces, chosen for their overly black & white moral compass and sympathetic viewpoint, as well as their ability to read dem card good.

10.2 - They always do...
Women fought for thier independance etc for so many years and when they got it, a large majority of them just fell down to the sort of level that men have always been at.

Then some of them had to hang around and complain some more, gaurnteed if this was called "the fat prince" nobody would have complained

Fox News should have already learned to stay out of things after Mass Effect, just go ask Cooper Lawrence.

...is Fox News, Mainstream news? Maybe Mainstream for a relatively small amount of Pseudo-Christian Americans who happen to have Cable, but that's it.

Good press for Sony, maybe this game will sell allot, which is good since I'll have more players to play with.
