Following on from such greats as Video games Hurt Nature, the Mass Effect scandal and labeling Jack Thompson as an “expert” the company have today emblazoned the front page of their website with the story Video Gamers Leave Baby To Die.

Now, when the death of a baby is terrible for anyone delving deeper into the story reveals that the parents were “playing video games, watching TV, feeding and caring for themselves” over the course of the 8 days they refused to care for their child.

As a result of this, there are of course loads of different angles to news outlet could have taken on the story, however, it seems they have once again jumped at the chance for a sensationalistic headline to bring more visitors to their site.

Update: The site has now change the story title to “Cops: Parents Played as Baby Died,” which is not as inflammatory, but still far from respectable.
