Prepare yourself. Something stupid this way comes.
So yeah. Kotaku decided to waste a Tweet and a blog post to tell us that a porn star showed up for the premiere of Just Dance 2. And it was short. And it was stupid. And I'm going to write an article longer than the article I'm complaining about because Kotaku reported something that doesn't really have a damn thing to do with video games.
Not to pull out a hardcore vs. casual stance, because I think that debate is incredibly stupid, but seriously. How many of Kotaku's readers give a damn that Just Dance 2 even exists? Why does it matter that a porn star showed up to the premiere? And I mean that regardless of her occupation. Barack Obama, Jesus Christ and The Joker could show up on a vintage train caboose towed by Godzilla, and it still wouldn't f***ing matter because Kotaku is (supposedly) a gaming news site. It's their job to cover games. Not the premieres of games (and do tell me, since when do video games have movie style premieres? Why do these things exist?). Kotaku is Kotaku, not TMZ, not Entertainment Tonight, they are Kotaku. We should hold them to a higher standard than this bullshit because they're getting paid. They're supposed to be journalists.
And game journalists at that, not tabloid hacks.

I've got news for you, Kotaku (god, does it HAVE to rhyme like that?). That news you think is news is not news. Find something substantial to write about, or I will. And I will try my hardest to make my 5 or 6 readers think your editing staff are chimps.
It was a one sentence post about a pornstar...*facepalm* I would say someone over there is into porn too much! Your right who cares about Just Dance 2!
ReplyDeleteWhat gets me is that someone presumably considered that newsworthy, took the time to write an article, and got paid for it. Oh well, I guess I should thank them for giving me something to mock. :-P
ReplyDeleteI had signed up for Kotaku's newsletter in order to try to win one of the Goldeneye bundles they were giving away, so not only did I get the Tweet and the Facebook update, I also got the email about the porn star, which my phone was nice enough to alert me to while I was at city hall picking up my marriage license. Go information age!
ReplyDeleteAren't you glad they keep gamers updated on the important stuff?
ReplyDeleteYou said it brother. I agree. Kotaku posted a story a few days ago about the Demon's Souls speed run and did not know about the equipment they were writing about. My staff and I think the video was tool assisted also. Terrible report by Kotaku. Thanks for writing.
