By now most have heard about Kevin McCullough's ill-informed rant about sex in video games and how those responsible for such content are "pushing our next generation of young men through the gates of hell as fast as is humanly possible." Bet you didn't realize that watching PG-rated virtual sex scenes got you a one-way ticket on the bullet train to hell. Say what? But Kevin McCullough, the leader of the MuscleHead Revolution, said it, so it must be true. After all, according to his bio, Mr. McCullough is the people's advocate for "such shocking things as absolute truth."
In the same bio, Mr. McCullough shares this enlightening statement, "Show me how a man thinks, and I will tell you how he will behave." Oh really......
Continue reading as we analyze how Mr. McCullough thinks so that we can determine how he behaves.
One of the most effective methods of debate is to use your opponent's own words against them. So to support our hypothesis that Kevin McCullough is a violent, sex-crazed liar we researched Mr. McCullough, whose only claim to fame until now appears to have been winning an award - not a Pulitzer for his hard-nosed editorials such as "Why Christians Embrace Gay Pornstars" and "Why Liberals Love Pedophiles," but rather a "Silver Mic" award for an on-air skit he performed...something to do with snow removal in Chicago. It's a classic, to be sure. Mr. McCullough's other "accomplishments" include authoring a book, "battling an elementary school teacher" on Oprah, debating the ACLU on FOX NEWS, and discovering the "new, innovative, and lightening quick medium" of blogging in 2003. The man is cutting edge.
Having sifted through Mr. McCullough's garbage, which he tries to pass off as journalism, we are confident that we can determine how Mr. McCullough thinks thus how he behaves thereby proving our hypothesis correct: Kevin McCullough is a violent, sex-crazed liar. As will be painfully obvious later, we could have thrown in homophobe as well, but why kick the man while he's down.
Hypothesis #1: Kevin McCullough is Violent
This is an easy one. We need look no further than the trash piece that started this whole controversy. In "The Sex-Box Race For President," Mr. McCullough states,
"Then there's the dishonesty behind the game' title. 'Mass Effect' sounds like a war game with a deadly virus that is spreading unless the GI-Joes are able to defeat the evil and deadly substance and it's covert war plan. By it's design, kids could ask for it, or for their parents' Best Buy Card to go purchase it with nary a raised eye-brow. Generic, non-descriptive, and relatively harmless."
Just ignore for the moment all of Mr. McCullough's typos and poor grammar, after all this is a man who clearly cannot be bothered with trivialities such as reading and research, and let us just look at the message Mr. McCullough is attempting to convey. Violent war games with GI Joes fighting evil are "generic, non-descriptive, and relatively harmless" for children. Say what? But wasn't it just 1999 when commentators of Mr. McCullough's ilk were screaming to the rafters that the tragic Columbine Massacre had its roots in violent videogames such as Doom. And was it not just last year that the Pope condemned violence in videogames as perverse and repulsive.
Now let's apply Mr. McCullough's logic to his own statements. Mr. McCullough thinks that violence and war are "generic, non-descriptive, and relatively harmless." Therefore...(come on, you know where we're going with this)...Mr. McCullough must behave violently. Stated another way, Mr. McCullough is violent.
One hypothesis down and two to go.
Hypothesis #2: Kevin McCullough is Sex-Crazed
As will be demonstrated below, Mr. McCullough clearly knows nothing about videogames. Nothing. The man couldn't differentiate the Macintosh 128K from a Vectrex from a Virtual Boy from a Microchinco SEXBOX 3600. While Mr. McCullough, by no stretch of the imagination, could be labeled a technological guru, the man seems know a lot about sex. At least he talks about it incessantly. In fact, a review of his blog posts could lead one to the conclusion that the man is obsessed with sex. Mr. McCullough loves to talk about masterbation, sodomy, pedophelia, pornography, bestiality, sexual perversion and oral sex.
Here are some of his blog posts from the past year. We've selected a few choice quotes from each article to save you from the brain-melting experience of actually reading his sexual rants.
"Yet by comparison William Jefferson Clinton's adultery was a little bland, even unimpressive by the new superhero, extra-marital fornicators of our time. Who are they? Men who engage in same-gender sexual activities!"
"And today, if you break your vows of commitment to your wife and children, abandon them, and get kinky with rest stop lowlife, while simultaneously endangering the most populous state in the union - in the midst of a war on terror - you're a rock star!"
"For liberals to denounce pedophiles, ultimately they would have to denounce, lesbianism, homsexuality, and their particular favorite - adultery."
"At the end of the day there are such a thing as moral values, and liberals despise them - because as they see it - those moral values limit their sexual freedoms. And if this is "America" - isn't it all about the freedom to get your groove on?"
Democrats: Pandering to Perverts 101
"Homosexual behavior and Christianity do not mix. From the standpoint of theory, theology, doctrine, and practice the two are totally and completely incompatible; as are adultery, pornography, bestiality, pedophilia, pre-marital sex, incest, cross dressing, multiple partner orgies and the list goes on."
"Turning down Brit Hume and saying yes to the rabid homosexual activists in America is closing in on the point of no return. But what do I know? I watch Fox News Channel."
Why Christians Embrace 'Gay' Porn Stars
"The reason so many of these homosexual bloggers knew [Sanchez is a gay porn star] is simple. They are rabid consumers of homosexual pornography and have spent days, months, possibly years in front of their television screens acting out on the urges within them. They have been enslaved by the unforgiving voices that have told them since birth to act upon every sexual urge they have. The thought of personal sexual restraint is foreign to these bloggers. Thus they have near cataclysmic system failure when someone they believed was homosexual turns a corner in his life and leaves that filth behind."
"So should we be surprised that Christians and conservatives have embraced a man who starred in 'gay' porn? Of course not - Jesus would have!"
"Instead the reason the sexual engagement does not work [between gays] is because the necessary parts are not even present. It is the equivalent of screwing a nut onto a bolt, by using a hammer. They just don't fit."
Other gems include:
Why Liberals Lie About Sex;
Topless Bikinis for Battered Women; Bears, Beatings, PORNStar Galactica; California Supremes: Oral Sex With Kids Is OK!;
"Hillary: Just Say Condom!"; Why Senator Craig Is Right; and Why Liberals Always Protect Perverts
As should be obvious by now, Mr. McCullough spends a lot of time thinking about sex and thinking about it in terms very few other humans could ever imagine. The man is obsessed with sex. How else do you explain quotes such as, "Because of the digital chip age in which we live - "Mass Effect" can be customized to sodomize whatever, whoever, however, the game player wishes. With it's 'over the net' capabilities virtual orgasmic rape is just the push of a button away."
Now let's apply Mr. McCullough's logic to his sexually perverse statements. Mr. McCullough constantly thinks about sex to levels of perversion previously unrealized by mankind. Therefore, Mr. McCullough must behave like a sex fiend. Stated another way, Mr. McCullough is sex-crazed.
Thus far, we've proven that Mr. McCullough is a violent, sex-crazed....
Hypothesis #3: Kevin McCullough is a Liar
We are not going to recount all of Mr. McCullough's gross misrepresentations of fact contained in "The Sex-Box Race For President." Those lies have already been well chronicled by aptly titled articles such as "10 Reasons Why Kevin McCullough Is A Liar."
Instead, we present to you the video clip that got Mr. McCullough's panties in a bunch so that you can decide for yourself whether Mr. McCullough is in fact a propagator of fabrication.
Where was the humping "in every form, format, multiple, gender-oriented possibility" imaginable? Where was the "copulating like jack rabbits?" Where was the sodomy and "virtual orgasmic rape?" In fact, where is the controversy? We've all been exposed to much worse in a typical Girl's Gone Wild commercial, which can be viewed on ordinary television.
Now let's apply Mr. McCullough's logic to his misstatements one final time. Mr. McCullough's thoughts are manifested as grossly inaccurate declarations presented as fact. Therefore, Mr. McCullough must behave like a liar. Stated another way, Mr. McCullough is a liar.
If we put it all together, Mr. McCullough is a violent, sex-crazed liar. Case closed. Get that man a SEXBOX 3600. Has anyone ever needed one more than Mr. McCullough?
Bonus Material:
But wait there's more. Remember this quote from Mr. McCullough's rant.
"One can custom design the shape, form, bodies, race, hair style, breast size of the images they wish to 'engage' and then watch in crystal clear, LCD, 54 inch screen, HD clarity as the video game 'persons' hump in every form, format, multiple, gender-oriented possibility they can think of.
"The objections to such filth should be simple to understand.
"Starting with the disgusting idea that one can 'create' their own versions of what people look like, removing warts, moles, and bald spots while enhancing - shall we say - the extended features of the game's characters tends to objectify women, sex, and human relationships."
Oh, the irony. Upon visiting Mr. McCullough's MySpace page, we discovered a large banner ad for Zwinky emblazoned across his American flag wallpaper. The image was priceless. Check it out.
What exactly is a Zwinky? To use Mr. McCullough's words, it could be described as a program that enables the user to "custom design the shape, form, bodies, race, hair style, breast size of the images they wish to 'engage'... [a] disgusting idea that one can 'create' their own versions of what people look like."
As we explored Mr. McCullough's MySpace page a little further we discovered ....... hypocrisy.
While sex is apparently abhorrent in videogames intended for mature audiences, it's apparently okay for such public forums as MySpace. Case in point, the following pictures can be found on Mr. McCullough's MySpace page. I guess he's not concerned about his son ever contacting any of dad's MySpace friends.
