Well, it happened while I was sitting at my computer with H.N. running
on the TV in the background.  The newscaster did a short segment on
Mortal Monday.  The good parts:

1) Shows Sub-Zero giving Sonya a good roundhouse, then a freeze &
uppercut.  Sega version... blood everywhere :-) (or was it the arcade?
Couldn't tell...)

The bad parts:
1) Called them "death moves".  They need their facts checked ;-)

2) Didn't show any fatalities during the segment.  Awwwww...

3) Sounded horrified when she mentioned that you could pull off
somebody's head during the course of the game.  What's her problem? :-)

How many times has Street Fighter made the news, huh????  PFFFFFT :-P
Sorry... had to gloat...
