Jack Thompson: The "Every game is Violent" Guy.

[Dex]

Jacky Jacky Jacky. Man, What is UP with this guy? He's an attorney-at-law who- Well.. Hates every game. Really, Violent games, But he considers EVERY game to be violent. Ah, Lawyers. Now, I may agree with him on SOME cases- But this guy even went after the SIMS. Geez. Oh yes, his past hobby was going after rap.

The Wikipedia. Yep, the Wiki. Not the usual place to look for a man who hates videogames- Heck, I'll go to Any game forum around- IGN, Nintendo-, and At least 1 person knows this horrid guy.

So, After reading the link, What's your comment on the guy?

He needs his head examined...what's next, going after Mario?

 

[MidnightScott]

He needs to be assassinated.

I'm sorry, but with so many games out there he won't be able to stop it alone. That's why we have ratings on these games. It's the parents fault that they purchased the game for their child, not the Videogame companies.

Jack Thompson is nothing compared to Herb Greenberg. He lost millions when he was part of some scheme to profit from Take Two's bankruptcy, but when GTA III came along he and partners of his lost huge amounts of money and they haven't forgotten about it, he's done everything he can to damage the company.

Wikipedia has given Jack Thompson exactly what he wanted: Attention.

Mario is toataly violent! Butno where near as violent and Immoral as Pokemon ><. Inside joke

The guy needs to chill. how mush violence has actualy happened because of games? There was a VGCatc comic that detailed Jack Thompson quite nicely. Seriously, I cant wse anything bad comming out of Jack Thompson, maybe people will start paying attention to the ratings on games

And not just videogames, Thompson has had some "akward" things in the past, such as the time he handed a slip of paper I think to this governor lady and asked her to check a box, and all the boxes were insults.

 

[Dex]

He's a Lawyer. That explains all for me.

 

[Slypher]

So what's he doing now? I haven't heard much from Jack Thompson since the Kuja suicide incident.

Not sure if I should be bumping this, but, it is only a few days old. Anyways, I think the guys crazy, pretty crazy. Now, I won't say he needs to be assisinated, but I just don't see how he got a license to be a lawyer.

He's done a lot of crazy things, going after The Sims 2 for "sexual content", the Grand Theft Auto deal, oi, harassing the people who created VGCats, and of course, as mentioned in an above post, the Janet Reno (I think) deal where he handed her that deal, crazy man.
