I was over at GamePolitics and found this video and thought it was pretty clever. Two guys took the song "When The President Talks to God" by 'Bright Eyes' and parodied it to rip on Jack Thompson.
The song was written by the same guy who created that Super Columbine Massacre RPG, Danny Ledonne, and it was performed by Cory Antiel (in the video). Although I don't approve of his horrible game, I approve of this song wholeheartedly.
For anyone not in the know, Jack Thompson's case ruling goes down in September where he WILL be disbarred for 10 years without possibility of regaining his license for that time. After which he may apply for his license again....when he is 66.
Theres was this post yesterday with a link to the audio of the trial.... man, I thought he was rude to Sterling just because he was a game journalist and HE is the allmighty lawyer god sended to protect the children from videogames.... but this guy has serious issues with everyone. The way he addressed the court and everything... incredible.

"uM, THE., UM, ER, EFFECT THAT, YOU'VE GOT, UM, ER, UM, i LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT BUT i WROTE A BOOK."
It will be strange to not have JT around for the next 10 years, it will be a shame to miss out on so much potential comedy gold.
"Um, the, um, er, effect that, you've got, um, er ,um I lost my train of thought but I wrote a book."
I fail.
He will still be around though unfortunately. He said himself he will still do all his usual bullshit even if he is disbarred.
