GamePolitics is reporting that the man everybody loves to hate is at it yet again. This time he fell for the hype, and sent his underage son on a mission to secure a copy of Halo 3 from Target -- in the name of justice:
Miami attorney and anti-violent video game activist today did a successful sting on Target Corporation. His fifteen-year-old son, on the first try, was able to buy the “Mature-rated” Halo 3 without producing any age ID at the Dadeland Station Target.
While he may think that he's stringing together critical hits in the name of his own personal agenda, he might want to consider the possible ramifications of his actions. Little Johnny sure is racking up some nice games. Wouldn't it be amusing if he turned into one of us -- and Jack's antics helped propel him in that direction? If nothing else, at least Jack has good taste in games, should he ever see the error in his ways. Too bad he'd likely be more of a burden on the industry than an actual ally, should he ever choose to join us. For such a highly educated man, he sure doesn't think things through to their logical conclusion.
[Thanks, Justin and Pablo]

*gasp*
That fucked up..lol
Sure could. Wanna bet that he walked out with two copies? That second one is hidden away for when dad is at work.
in school until the end of time....
THANK YOUR DADDY !!!!
i wish that kid would have the guts to say:
hey dad, its just a motherfuckin game
you stupid son of a bitch!!!
let me play my fuckin games !!
all you need to do is bang mom, go to work and pay the bills!!
Wait, Jack probably couldn't spare a blank tape cause they all have his gay pornos on them.
Oh, btw, why hasn't he gone after the chains that are selling the games to his kids, or himself? It seems to me that the esrb posted the rating for teh parents to see if it is acceptible for their kids. And the big chains are apparently not training their minimum wage workers to give a shit. For shame big companies, for shame.
(but who am I talking about?)
We understand your point, but we are entertainers. We believe in giving the audience what they want. For us to ignore Jack would be like going to a concert and having the band play everything but the songs people love the most. Wouldn't make much sense, now would it?
Cant he stay quiet for a while?
/fail Mr.Thomson... /fail
(So...I wonder if the people bothered to give him his money back)
Don't you think your son has seen and read worse in the fucking BIBLE you surely force down his throat constantly when he's not allowed to play video games or listen to popular music?
I'd think half the shit in there would be mind poison to any clean minded kid. Incest, masturbation ends in death, resurrection of the dead, necromancy, pyroteleknesis, rapture, original sin...
Pain, War and Thompson? Sounds like an apprentice horseman of the apocalypse.
someone find him!
"Jack,

Wow... That's probably the most ignorant comment I've ever read on here. That's saying quite a bit too.. No doubt you've never even read the Bible or have bothered to look into what it all means, otherwise you wouldn't be spewing out such nonsense. What the hell were you thinking? Were you even thinking at all? This a games blog, I don't see why I would have to read trash like that in the comments section.
too bad dvddesign is absolutely correct. The bible is more graphic, and violent, than any video game would ever possibly imagine to be. A homicidal genocide god drowns everyone on the planet just because he thinks they are evil. Thats pure evil. Why Jack isn't attempting to stop the sales of the bible I have no idea.
point being, anything can poison and young and unstable mind. I'm sure that jack thompsons kid will be horribly fucked up one day.
