In one of his more colorful moves, Jack Thompson sent a letter to Take-Two Executive Strauss Zelnick damning her as a terrible mother and, by extension, awful human being. In his letter, he quotes several scripture verses, claiming them to be related to Passover, about child rearing and them promptly questions how well she adhered to them. This is after, of course, he mentions that he was on 60 Minutes discussing the "pornography" that her son is "putting into the hands of other mother's children". What he never brings up is the fact that kids are not allowed to buy this game without an adult present. He merely mentions the website not having age verification. Tell me, how can one be trained on one of these "murder simulators" just be reading about it/seeing video? That would imply that videos themselves could convey such ideas! I guess Mr. Thompson should take issue with the Movie business, too. In any case, give the letter a read for yourself
here. It's times like these that remind me of the McCarthy hearings back in the day. Someone needs to stand up like Joseph Welch did and say,"You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

he's a loathsome human being that doesn't have the "causation" to make his arguments anything but worthwhile.
to sum up: he's a douche. and the fact that this goy is trying to use someone else's religion against them is sheer lunacy.
That is the line that sums thompson up for me. His deluded belief that the kid would of grown up perfectly normal if it wasn't for the fact that he played GTA and it messed with his mind. Look look at the brain scans he will cry when they finally drag his crazy ass of to the asylum.
Awhile ago I had some small flashes of respect for Jack.
You have a point. I know a gentleman, who shall remain nameless, who was able to make rather convincing looking documents in our beloved MSPAINT. Perhaps, I should consider a new banner...
I mean even to someone who is against Videogames, his facts are so Blatantly wrong!
OOOOH, burn. bitchhhh
also, slow
So yeah, he is even more crazy that what he sounds on the podcast... tracing dendrites, tracing dendrites! I just love that part.
Kinda of interesting, if not all together surprising.
