I'm only going to say this one more time : I want a cop killing murder simulator.
Please. Everyone else seems to have one...

I like the line about them "rolling into starbucks." Obviously that's after they roll down the street to participate in some cop killing.
The fact no one has killed Jack Thompson proves there's no justice in this world.

Just to hammer home my point about GTA:
Defending GTA is like defending furries. Sure, they may have a right to do it, but eventually you have to hold hands with a guy who probably fucked another person dressed as a ferret last night.

Nothing would make Jack Thompson happier than to be killed by an irate gamer. He'd be more credible as a dead martyr than as a live lunatic.
In fact, if he were to die a violent death, my money would be on a suicide accompanied by a note saying "I R A GAMER AND I KILLED JACK THOMPSON LOLZ".

For a lawyer, JT seems to have an awfully tentative grasp of the legal system. What law, exactly, entitles a private citizen to send a letter to the local police department to have people rounded up and arrested in reponse to unproven allegations?

Pity it's not Raging Douchebag Week. That would've been a winner.

Heh by which I mean guys like Thompson became lawyers so they can dirtball waitresses and other service related industry folks. It's all about finding a small enough pond until one is finally the biggest frog. These types of folks are driven by the insecurity and lack of self-esteem, hence why appeals to their sense of decency simply make them worse.

That picture looks like Jon Stewart after he's stared into the dead lights.

I also thought it looked like Jon Stewart in a wig. It's the face he's making.

It reminds me of Dr Claw (from Inspector Gaget. Yes you never saw his face, but the action figure that was released looks like him).

As you may know, this incredibly violent Rockstar Games product is actually a 'cop-killing' murder simulator. Because the gamepad interface is really taking over the firearms industry. Good thing it also simulates my lock-on capabilities or I'd have to go to my old keyboard- and mouse-driven rifle. Whattadouche. Someone needs to get a copy of America's Army on this guy's desk, stat. As for GTA, I love the franchise, it's a very fun game. Plays better than the overwhelming majority of crap dumped onto the EB shelf. Even my somewhat uptight (well, compared to me..) girlfriend likes the game alot. She likes the open gameplay, the humor, and the soundtrack. If you don't like it, you are free to say as much, I guess. I'd recommend just shutting your trap and playing something else, but that's me. |

This just means he's show up on CNN talking about how "the video game industry" is persecuting him to stop "the truth" from getting out.

Yeah, but it's going to sting a bit to have the tagline under him read "Jack Thompson, Ex-Attorney". :-D |

Penny Arcade is "video game-themed"? Seriously, this is some of the best news I have read lately. I fucking hate that fucking fucker. |

Indeed: If you ignore the comic strips for a second and consider what they write, they generally write about video games (in particular XBox games, what with their frequent visits to Microsoft et al) or PAX. Definitely a theme going there. |

Actually, that article doesn't say he's under investigation. It merely says that complaints were forwarded to the committee, which probably happens to every complaint received. |

From Wikipedia: According to Gamespot, the FBA is not investigating Thompson on this issue at this time, though he is still under investigation from two previous complaints, both of which (according to Thompson himself) relate to Thompson's fight with Howard Stern.
Thompson has sent his own letter to the FBA, reminding the FBA that the last time he was investigated they had to pay him damages The man likes to bully. |

I just like to see similar bullshit complaints thrown against him, whether the FBA is investigating him or not. It's ownage in the same way as an "IN YOUR FACE!"

Hm... looks like GamerGod had an interview with Jack, which might have been an interesting read, but it's been pulled from their site. Wonder if he came off bad in it and threatened to sue? |

If Gamergod pulled an interview because they got threatened by Thompson, they'd have to be filed in the pussy bin. |
