In What Jack Thompson would call a "sting operation" he had given his 15 years old son a credit card to get Bioshock from Best Buy. The kid must had a crappy cashier cause he got the game, and his father blamed Take-Two for it instead of the retail show.
[quote] The Best Buy retail clerk who sold this “Mature” game to Thompson’s 15-year-old son is Alysia. She asked Thompson’s son for his ID. He said he had none. She said, “I don’t really care.” She has a piercing through her right eyebrow, and she can be easily identified by Thompson and by store officials. She should be fired immediately. So should the store manager whose very same store sold Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to Thompson’s son when he was 10 years old (!) in a sting that he and his father arranged, just like this one.
…Just as Thompson and others have been saying and as the Federal Trade Commission has been suggesting, the notion that major retailers, and especially Best Buy, are effectively age ID-ing kids is a sham. [/quote]
its pretty shameful of jack not to only pull his son into his "cursade" but not even put the kids name on his press release.

Nice find, though. Funny how he's using his son as his henchman.
i kind of figured that but i though it would be unprofessional of me to not have a source.
Honestly, this guy could care less about anyone's children. He just wants to be in the paper. And I think he should be in there, as a hilarious parody of anti-videogame activism. It makes us look so much better in comparison.
Whenever he does shit like this it's really more sad than anything else. He's clearly a deeply insecure person with a massive inferiority complex, judging from his constant need to pull stunts like this in a desperate plea for attention. It's just...pathetic.
A woman actually let Thompson have sex with her?
Then she had his child?
She wouldn't by any chance have the head of a goat would she?
Or anything - I'm not an American, but can you guys write your congressmen or whatever you need to do to finally stop this crazy nuckfut.
And Outer Heaver, I think I can counter-sue for the court fees, if that were the case. Jack doesn't have Phoenix Wright on his back, either.
