Who cares about Luke and Noah? Their storyline was so lame. The fact they barely kissed was a joke. Now go over to "One Life to Live", they are not putting the breaks on anything: Full on makeout session, pre "making love' sequences, mass gay weddings, gay bashings, and trying to legalize gay marriages.

Having "homophobic Easter Eggs" in Modern Warfare seems to be one of the least of its controversial issues. Have you actually seen the part where you play the game as a terrorist and your objective is to go around killing as many people as you can in an airport?

This is why I think we should not sell of M-rated videogames to minors. If the parents want to get it for their kids, then fine, but at least then they can't use the excuse that they didn't know the game had controversial content.

The Call of Duty thing isn't an Easter Egg, it's right in the dialog. Who really cares? It's a quote from Airplane.
