Gamers’ revenge is served cold on Amazon

Foxnews
Planning to go on Fox News and bash a video game you’ve never even seen? Then prepare to have your book torpedoed on Amazon.com. Psychologist Cooper Lawrence was a guest on a recent Fox News segment that denounced the “full digital nudity and sex” featured in Mass Effect for the Xbox 360. One problem: There isn’t any full digital nudity and sex in the game. Sure, there’s a bit of mildly salacious alien love (which, as you can see on YouTube, is about as hot as watching two mannequins being moved around a store window). Game publisher Electronic Arts has asked Fox News to “set the record straight,” but the more interesting reaction has been from the gamers themselves. Lawrence, who chuckled dismissively when asked on the program if she’d ever played the game, soon saw her book’s Amazon listing bombarded with more than 500 one-star reviews (which Amazon has since taken down) and several uploaded “customer images” (ditto). I’d be tempted to join in, but I’ll be tied up for a while watching all the other clips I found through my YouTube search for “graphic sex with an alien.” UPDATE: In a New York Times piece, Lawrence apologizes for misrepresenting the game: “I really regret saying that, and now that I’ve seen the game and seen the sex scenes, it’s kind of a joke.”

Mollá Originals

Men’s Vogue paid a visit to Miami, which is home to scorching hot Hispanic marketing agency, La Comunidad.

It’s the kind of office where flip-flop-wearing employees kiss on both cheeks when they arrive on Monday morning. It’s the kind of office where business meetings are held by the pool and where the company chef lures staff with a family-style lunch. And there’s a nearly perfect duplicate of it 4,000 miles away, in Buenos Aires, where another three dozen staffers work under Joaquín Mollá, 38, José’s brother and partner.

Joaquín explains that they are driven by the notion of community (the literal translation of comunidad), which is why they’ve turned down business that would have allowed them to grow even more quickly at the expense of their culture of on-site yoga and painting classes. “You can’t change the world, but you can do something about the people that surround you,” reflects Joaquín, who studies Buddhism.

La Comunidad/Miami will soon be moving in to a 20,000-square-foot warehouse renovation in the heart of Miami’s Wynwood Art District. The new office will have an adjoining gallery space.
