Jack Thompson: Insane



The mighty lawyer responsible for the controversy around the "Hot Coffee" mod for GTA: San Andreas, has broken down to name calling and petty legal threats. Sending unsolicited emails to webcomic artists just to start a fight. Trying to add ammunition for his media war? "Penny Arcade said this" "VG Cats said that", he is actually calling these people and egging them in to a fight. Gabe from Penny Arcade organized a fundraiser that actually raised a half a MILLION dollars for children's hospitals in two years. All gamers are violent ass holes? Look at me, student council president senior year, volunteer, member of the community. This guy is targeting normal members of society, branding them as freaks, then yelling at them with weak legal threats.

And Penny Arcade:

The story

After nothing but a sassy e-mail, this guy lashes out. He can't take a joke, or let an e-mail roll off of his back.

He does have one point that does make sense: Kids should not play violent video games. It's that fucking simple. That being said, M rated games should not be played by children under 17 without some parental consideration. I've personally played all of the GTA games, except the San Andreas, and I started around age 14 or 15. This wasn't optimal for my development, but by that time I realized the difference between right and wrong. I am pretty smart, and not bat-shit insane, so I realized that I shouldn't kill people.

OK, so let us recap. Jack Thompson is making a huge deal out of nothing that a little common sense can't fix. Associating people who play video games with murderers (like my mom, who loves tetris), and harassing those who choose to question his action in a humorous manner.

My suggestion to remedy this problem. Write letters to people of importance and tell them you do not support the actions of Jack Thompson. Also support Penny Arcade! they just donated Ten Thousand dollars to the ESA foundation. What nice guys eh? And now they are apparently going to be charged with criminal harassment. Front Page

Comments:
What the hell are you talking about? They can't be charged with fuck all.
 
hah, i followed the whole PA incident, it was funny, and scary at the same time. the dude is nuts, people should know.

at least this time he is controlling himself by saying 'stop or else', usually he would tell the people that they are going to hell (being a born again christian and all).

people like him scare the fuck out of me.
 
video games dont make people violent, stupid people are just stupid people through and through. If playing GTA or any other violent game made you think its ok to kill someone, you're fucking stupid and your parents should be ashamed for not making you realize that you cant just kill people by a very young age. It's Darwin, survival of the fittest, all the stupid ones not suitable for society weed themselves out, its a blessing.
 
This guys fucking clown shoes. I'm sure peoples surroundings growing up has a far greater effect on them than a video game, should we outlaw compton? the bronx?

violence is a part of human nature some people are just like that, some are raised into it. Sad but true.....pleaes dont sue me lars ulrich
 
A lot of people in Compton can't afford video games, they have to buy BULLETS
