I'm not much for celebrating anyone's hard times, but let's face it, Jack Thompson has incited a lot of rage in the hearts of happy gamers who felt their favorite pastime could be threatened by his antics. With the recent news of his disbarment, some will certainly breathe a sigh of relief, but others may not experience quite the same joy until the actual day is upon us.
What better way to count down, then, than with a Firefox add-on that will remind you daily exactly how much time Thompson has left before his law career terminates? Created by GamePolitics reader and comment moderator E. Zachary Knight, it's free to download and may aid in your everyday sense of celebration.
[Thanks Joe!]

I'll just let you guys front-page-inform me when the day arrives.
Also, KA-BOOOOOM!!!
Meanwhile, Sterling is wading in a bath of champagne and stolen dignity. Hooray, American legal system!
He never accomplished anything, Jack is just a footnote in the growing history of games, in the end he's just a person who list his son and was never the same because of it now he doesn't even have a job.
So yea, I don't care because Thompson was never anything important. He was just someone who yelled a a lot, if anything he made the rest of us look better.
But when almost everyone is calling him a "dick, asshole, piece-of-shit", then who looks better? Certainly it isn't the people I mentioned, and then it makes him look better and we look like fools.
When Jim Sterling interviewd Jackie Boy, he did it the right way, by having a clue what he was talking about and not using profanity like alot of people do to get there point across.
...What a waste of an education and law degree, though.
Don't be surprised if Fox News hires him as their new "legal expert".
someone should make a Jack Thompson "Sackboy" for Little Big Planet (I don't have a PS3, so I can't do it)
