If you’ve been following the Jack Thompson story, you’ve known that it was only going to be a matter of time before he really blew his lid. Thompson is essentially the Joseph McCarthy of video game violence - he sees it everywhere, including in innocuous games like The Sims (not to mention Grand Theft Auto!).
Yes, folks, he’s not talking about a sequel to that horirble movie, but accusing Sony of attacking America in the manner that the Japanese attacked pearl harbor. Oh, and while I’m at it, his new lawsuit against them bad violent video game makers Will make the O.J. Simpson trial look like a quilting bee."l
Wow. Mad Jack Thompson never fails to amuse. I like the bit where he was “certified legally sane by the Florida bar.” I didn’t realize the bar could do that! Isn’t that sort of like being ordained as an Anglican bishop by the Food and Drug administration?
Geeze. Jack Thompson needs to keep up. The Japanese tried (and failed) to cause Pearl Harbor 2 when Pokemon became big. I’ve even got proof! (Hmmm, maybe we can get Thompson to go away if we say he has a very big penis.)
We’re talking about somebody who got banned from Free Republic for being an obnoxious loon. That’s kind of like getting kicked out of an anarchist convention for disorderly conduct.
i like how he offered to donate $10k to charity if someone would design a game where you are Jack Thompson, and the object is to kill video game designers.
so someone designed the game, and he decided he was just kidding about donating the money to charity. good joke!
Whoa. Not only have the Japanese developed a direct neural interface, but it works so well that they have “no problem whatsoever” dumping things into people’s brains.
Heh. Actually, I think Seargent Colon would be more apt. “We’ll just stand over here, keepin’ an eye on this video game, ‘case it decides to jump up and start murderin’ people. Can’t be too safe with these new-fangled video game, you know.”
