Jack Thompson goes after Halo 3 now

We are all slaves to the system Toneman...

On topic: Jesus Jumping JackThompson...what a tool.

*sigh*

Someone really needs to shop a pic of JT with the caption "Look at me! I'm an attention whore!" Seriously, somebody do it. Do it now.

Here's the deal?! Wow, Thompson is about as poetic with his threats as some hired muscle for a bank robbery.

Let's see here,

Devs and publishers rating games apropriately, check.

Retailers respecting those ratings and carding folks buying M-Rated games, check.

Parents not purchasing M-Rated titles for little 8 year old Johnny, . . . check?

The only way M-Rated games are getting into the hands of kids these days is from the hands of irresponsible parents. And god forbid someone take some personal responsibility. "The best course of action is to let the government decide what is right for my children! I'm too busy driving my Luxury SUV to overpriced dinners with my trophy wife to raise kids, what do I look like? My illegal immigrant nanny?"

Amerika and their increasing reliance on the government and the courts to raise their children are really starting to piss me off. Almost enough to go on a Crackdown-Style rampage in south Florida.

Or vote Libertarian.

Man I wish we had Libertarians in England.

Douche Powers GO! Form of JACK THOMPSON!
What a pathetic human.

now that he can't go after rockstar is there anyone he won't sue? whats next, nintendo cuz a kid seeing pikachu be pummeled by solid snake could scar him for life? most of his lawsuits make as much sense as suing mc donalds cuz you ate there every day since you were 8 and are now fat. what will it take for this man to lose his liscense?

and if me messes with M$oft and master chief, he will indeed get pwned like no man hath been pwned before.

Talk about fucking with the bull...

done and done. Just for you Mxy!

@ Bahamut Zero:

My hero! I didn't realize JT was so hittable from the neck down!

if we write enough bad things and funny pictures he will show up wanting to take on DT!

Our best bet is to not even pay this jerkbag any mind. If noone would give him any airtime he'd fizzle out like a bad fart. I'm done discussing Thompson.

He should go after people that buy bad M rated games. That way he can get his attention and all the horrible M rated games will go away.

@ Christian:

Sure, but that was when he was still vaguely credible with the majority of the public. Now it's like watching retards in a boxing match, you know you should feel outraged and ashamed about what you're seeing, but you just can't help laughing at the guy. I have the urge to get popcorn every time he opens his mouth now.

I love this guy!

@ Christian and Mxy

I doubt he'd go away. All you have to do is talk about "saving the children" and it's all of a sudden unacceptable to even question your platform. "What? You disagree with Jack! You hate kids!" The fact of the matter is that these new initiatives, (as outlined in the next article about the NY State legislature) aren't anything new at all. Jack just better be careful that Microsoft doesn't eat him. There's actually another potentially interesting boiling point that could come about in teh next couple of years. All of Jack's whining could actually bring the film industry into this. You all play halo, right? There's really not a whole lot of blood in that game. In the movies, you need blood and mutiliation for violence to reach an R-rated level. I mean, look at the body counts in all the Bond movies, and all but a scant few of those are PG-13. If JT and the unparents driving this movement can draw a bead on Halo (arguably one of the least graphically violent shooters) Hollywood should certainly ethically be next. Amirite?

@infinity: that was actually my first thought - will MS haters amongst gamers have to give in to the fact that there is worse that can happen to the industry than a company aspiring a monopoly position in a certain branch?

Anyway, I'm hoping for a very cocky response :>

This isn't the first time that Jackhole has gone after Bill Gates.

I swear this guy is like one of Pavlov's dogs. The game industry rings a bell (i.e. releases a game with the slightest bit of violence in it) and Jack Thompson starts salivating.

ahahaha, twatspanner. aha.

OK, I've got an idea -

We need to get Jack Thompson laid.

Think about it; sure, he's got a serious bug up his ass, but why? HE'S NOT GETTING ANY.

If we all chip in and get him a hooker, all our troubles could be solved. Who's with me?



...oh, and not a trannie - he's pissed enough as it is.

Sadly, I've been dealing with this guy all day long (yeah, I'm the one who wrote the Game Almighty piece). Rather than actually discuss the issues, Jack figured the best tactic was to call the site blasphemous, call me a "piss ant" (twice), and still shoot of his little letter to us.

Yeah, there's a fun editorial in the works on the events of today. Stay tuned, kiddies. It's gonna be a fun fun ride.

WldCard:

I would kill to interview this guy myself. Tell him that. Tell him I want to talk to him!
