WBTV: Portal 2 jokes making fun of adoption

A US TV news program, WBTV has attacked Portal 2 for its “controversial” attack on orphans in which they claimed Portal 2′s jokes are “making fun of adoption.”

The news station plays a clip of Portal 2 using only the scene where GLaDOS challenges Wheatly to explain what’s wrong with being adopted and leaves out the the last line from the clip completely changing the context of the whole joke. They didn’t include the clip that immediately after that GLaDOS says “What’s so wrong with being adopted?” There’s much more to what meets the eye but for those whom have played the game, you would clearly know how the whole scene should go. Very biased editing.

I can admit I’m not professional journalist but the amount of mistakes given in their broadcast has really put a whole new low on journalism. Although Portal 2 is great exercise for your mind, it was not intended for “educational” purposes, it does not teach anything.
