The lights are on
NETWORK EXEC 1: Hey, you know these video games the kids are playing these days? Can you imagine what a horrible loser you would have to be to play this "Warring Craft" thing as an adult?NETWORK EXEC 2: Hah, hah! I bet you'd have to be, like, 300 pounds.NETWORK EXEC 1: Brilliant! You would have to have neck sweat and thick glasses, too.NETWORK EXEC 2: Clearly. Do we have a serial drama insipid enough to fit these mouth breathers into?

Wow WTF...
AHAHAHAHA! Wow... way to go SVU.
Wow. This is amazingly stupid.
I don't know what's worse, the fact that this stereotype of someone who plays videogames still exists, or the fact that they made no effort whatsoever to mix it up. The dude looks exactly like the fat guy from the WoW episode of South Park but with hair, and sounds exactly like the Call of Duty-addicted guy from Royal Pains.
real dumb
Us gamers have a life just like everybody else.
-_- This is insulting. And also, that game looked terrible!
Is this really what the other entertainment industries think of gamers. How ignorant!
Of course. All gamers are fat, hairy, sweaty, and are jerks. Stupid idiots.
ok wait a second, pause the game.
Awesome! I should start signing up for Korean hosted xbox tournaments..
Of course television writers hate video games and the Internet -- they've taken away so much precious viewership!
"Ok wait a second, pause the game, i haven't had sex with anybody, in like six months!"
Christ you'd think when about half the population plays games the ridiculous eighties stereotypes would die out.
im not offended in any manner, but this is just dumb. all video game players treat their kids like this? and we all are fat over weight losers with awesome neck beards? haha! next episode is gonna be a bunch of black people eating watermelon while they steal cars with one hand because their other hand has a 40 in it. come on svu, grow up.
One more show to add to my Do Not Watch list.
Law & Order Special Victims Unit = Fake and Gay
Somebody should make a video game that pokes fun at how poorly the movie and TV industry poorly displays gamers. Like, you play a cop, and you go arrest a guy who can't stop watching Desperate Housewives and he's the most homo man ever portrayed ever.
I totally did this when Fable II came out! Bwahahahahahaha! NBC are a bunch of Liberal D-Bags!
Is this real? This is just a spoof right? SVU has usually had credible stories as far as I have seen.. but this? is this their jump the shark episode or something?
no way this is real... god i hope not.
