I think the rat billboards lead you to the "Pet Store." Somebody needs to put their locations on a Google map and see it I'm right.

The “Mass Effect” of Gamers Biting Back


When Psychologist Cooper Lawrence admitted to never having played the X-Box game Mass Effect immediately after ranting against it’s “full digital nudity and sex” on Fox News, she probably didn’t expect gamers to bite back with a taste of her own medicine. Fans of the game immediately flocked to Amazon and slammed her book with 1-star ratings and negative tags. [via YesButNoButYes.com]

UPDATE: Amazon has removed over 400 customer reviews as well as all the customer tags, but enough negative reviews remain to keep the book’s score at 2 stars.
