"Mr. Lawyer will have to step up his game if he wants to be a bigger douchebag than the Fox Network now."
I guess the fact that he sort of defended Mass Effect as well doesn't help huh.

Fox choosing not to apologize. Reflects just how the channel feels about video games. They think they're silly and childish and apologizing for this is ridiculous.
You know, Jack Thompson apparently regularly posts on Gaming Today, Filefront's gaming news site. I mean, people imitate other people, but apparently it really is him. And you know what? He's a huge, huge dick. And he really thinks he's something special. Want to see an example of this?

It's a short article, but there are a lot of comments. Even when presented with legitimate arguments, this asshole Mr. Thompson says things like "Tell your Libertarian fantasies to Ron Paul while you're both high on marijuana," without replying to a single point.
He makes me very mad.

My guess is good old Jack didn’t see enough strength in coming out against the rampant sex in Mass Affect. Plus he’s still wetting is depends in anticipation of another GTA being released. If the other networks have any brains (and they don't) they'll avoid this type of mess in the future. Still I doubt Fox will retract anything.
Great to see people finally stepping up against the blatantly obvious bias that major news conglomerates and mainstream media outlets have against the game industry. Don't even get me started on the sheer ignorance these so-called "professionals" display when they speak about games.
They are so far out of touch with what is really going on and have their heads so far up their own asses I don't think they will ever truly live in our reality. I think I would be hard pressed to be more disgusted by how cool these people think they are when they bash games.
Cooper's condescending laugh when she said she hadn't played Mass Effect sealed the deal for me. It's almost as if knowing less about video games actually makes them a superior and more mature human being.
Seriously, are females like her and the other news anchor what the cheerleaders and other pretentious snooty chicks from high school grow up to become? You know, the ones that hated on nerds and only dated football players in high school because it was cool?
News flash for them, almost everyone plays video games in one form or another now. It's not really funny to act ignorant and insult those who have interests that are not your own. They must be making asses out of themselves as they struggle to stay relevant, like the attention whores they always have been. It's the only answer I can think of. Dramatic attention whoring, plain and simple.

Jack is saving his energy for GTA IV and besides, EA and/or Bioware don't have the bad reputation that Rockstar already has for "murder simulators", JT would have to build up another bad guy and he won't do that with his white whale in-sight.
Anyway, glad to see Fox receive more pressure, I think MS should also say something.

I have to admit I was a touch surprised to see this story up. As hours ago today with Fox News on in the background, an apology letter and a whole lot of eating crow was done there on this subject.
As well, how was EA's request for a retraction ignored when. . the comments were. . you know. . retracted? This confuses me some.

Sessler's response, if you can get the video to load.
I absolutely love that fox news has trademarked "fair and balanced". I swear, that network is like one big self-satire.
^^^ this FOX doesn't suck either...

Kiss it..
huh?.
apologize.... kiss it..
:P

While I don't like the type of menacing attitude Jack Thompson has to other people, it was always of my opinion that his anger is just miss-guided.
Of course, he sees that blaming companies rather than the parents is easier than the other way around.

Er... to defend Jack. He has been consistent. He says he doesn't like any violence or sex in games, but goes after the worst (read:best) ones, usually. The choice of game has hinged on what goes beyond acceptible violence on TV and whether the game let's the player do something morally wrong (in Jack's mind).
Usually the glorification of violence, acts of violence against innocent people, or over the top realistic violence.
I still think he is crazy, but he has been consistent and, legally speaking, only the last couple years have been ethically questionable.
