I love the amount of people going "it's her opinion, you're bound to respect it!" I fully believe that just because you "have an opinion" on something doesn't automatically put you above criticism for it. Opinions can in fact be wrong. I can't go around saying "the moon is made of cheese." That might be my opinion but my opinion would be wrong.
Having said that, its not like Morgan was risking anything by saying these things as some of you would believe. Everyone who watches G4 regularly probably doesn't play mario games and Morgan's bosses were probably high-fiving each other on how this little "controversy" would generate hits and views.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
