As you all know by now, Infinity Ward is offering a pair of night vision goggles with the Prestige Edition of Modern Warfare 2 . As you also may know, British tabloid "journalists" love to insinuate that videogames and gamers are perverse tools of Satan, so it's no surprise that glorified comic book The Daily Star is claiming that the Prestige Edition goggles are for "pervy nights out."
"GEEKY computer game fans are set to become an army of ogling pervs thanks to a giveaway of night edvision goggles with an edition of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," writes respected journalist Ciarah Hannah. "... Hordes of joy-pad junkies are rubbing their hands in anticipation and some have already admitted they will use the
goggles for 'stealth dogging' and to spy on gay cruising spots."
The Star writer then quotes a pair of gamers who posted obviously joking comments on various blogs and attempts to portray them as serious testimonials and evidence that all gamers are perverts.
I think the most hilarious part of this story is that it's coming from The Daily Star, a scummy little rag that regularly prints pictures of naked women and even has a section on its site called "Babes" where anybody can look at a massive pair of breasts. The Daily Star also sponsors Television X, one of Britain's cable porn stations. So, for The Star to accuse anybody else of being an "ogling perv" is downright f*cking ridiculous, and just a little hypocritical.
Still, they don't play videogames, so they're obviously far more mentally stable than we stealth-dogging gay cruisers.

Well, i was hardly going to lie now, was i?
Bad call guys. Bad Call.
I'm not sure it's a good idea to throw stones inside that glass house of yours.
Watching two people fuck in a parking lot.
Britain and Europe pretty much have their heads on straight when it comes to sex, but they're just as far out there as anybody when it comes to the rest of the political spectrum.
Soon we noticed the light stay on and two shady guys standing either side of the car.
So we did what anyone would do, drove up and parked right in front of the car.
Going at it hammer and tongs in the front seat was some guy and some reasonably hot chick, with two older guys watching through open windows.
We stayed just long enough for the mrs to start screaming "Get me the fuck out of here!" and had to leave.
True story. no night vision goggles required.
I am british too so trust me I know!
They usually do about everything else.
Check the button at the bottom of the article: "More 'News' Here".
Wow, when even a newspaper puts the word News in quotes, you know they're scraping the bottom of the barrel.
These boob rags make me ashamed to be part of the beer swilling, kickball chanting capital of the global empire.
Back to my cup of Tea.
I take issue with the word "glorified" in this context. I would replace it with "Paper-that-wishes-it-was-as-respected-as-a"
PS tits and arse p. 1, 3, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 16, 17, 21 and 27. Dirty phone lines p28, 29.
You want real journalism? The Guardian, son.

No kidding. A paparazzi-employing gossip rag accusing others of stalking? What a gaggle of fucking buffoons.
Thanks for the heads up.
You need a heads-up in order to find massive breasts, and you're on the internet?
Oh dear.
I don't think that's what he meant by "heads up"...
damn straight about becoming a night-perve though.
I'm pretty sure that nobody here NEEDS help finding awesome tits, but more is always appreciated. ;)
