Jack Thompson: The man, the myth, the incompetent lawyer photo

In addition to being a "horrid person", an "attention whore", and "a guy I wouldn't rent a van to, for fear that he'd fill it with candy (for nefarious purposes)", Jack Thompson can now add "tremendously incompetent legal practitioner" to his ever-growing list of unflattering subtitles.

According to Game Politics, the suit Jacko brought against Brian Crecente's Hair Palace Gawker Media minion Kotaku, has been thrown out by Federal District Court Judge Paul "Check Yo' Self, Before You Wreck Yo' Self" Huck. His High Holy Judgeship declared that Mr. Thompson amended his complaints without using proper legal procedures, and that due to this gross miscalculation, his complaints have been thrown out. Possibly into a mud puddle.

Jack, on behalf of Jack, has claimed that Jack was distracted, both by the Florida Bar (the same association that seems to be maliciously persecuting him, his family, his dead ancestors, and this girl he used to date) and by an unnamed website that published his home address and phone number.

As much as this post was all about making fun of Jack, for the hundredth time this week, we cannot recommend posting people's personal information on this here Internet. Remember kids: it's all fun and games until someone catches a home invasion/rape/lynching in the eye.

It would help him out a lot if he stopped posting his own personal information in his press releases everywhere he's still allowed to leave comments.

So did anyone else catch in that complaint where he spelled unconstitutional as uncon5stitutional? Guess he was also too distracted to use spell check as well.

That was just his l337 side writing, because deep down he's a gamer like us, playing the ultimate prank on the industry. Everything he achieved for us gamers in secrecy while we hated him will be revealed on his funeral..........Not!

@Knives: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. AMAZING!

Seriously, who uses a ...NOT joke in a legal document. It looks as if it was written by a 10 year old that's mad that the bully pushed him at recess.

Yeah yeah, Jack's a n00b. I think the internets gets it now. That is, after they've trawled through all those words which Nex seems to have a love for, especially rape. Sick bastards, give up the rape on the front page every fucking day. It's beyond a joke now.

I read the complaint on kotaku a couple of days ago. The best part was, (this is not word for word, my mind is clouded with malted hops and bong resin) "and this was proper legal procedure ...........................not."

he actuually used the phrase, ".........not" in a court document. He is truly, Lord of the douchebags.

No one I know really takes him seriously. My parents have heard of him and think he's a silly, immature extremist, and won't listen to a word he says even if they agree with him. People here at work think he's an idiot, too.

He keeps trying harder and harder, and now it's to the point where no one listens to him at all, except for the other idiotic fundamentalist christian conservatives who also don't matter.

Jack Thompson, God hates you, and so does everyone else in this country. I think the people who like you the most are gamers, and that's because you provide their life with excitement and laughs. Never change, Jacko, you herpe you.

Here's an interesting link that pokes a bunch of holes in the legal basis of his complaint against Kotaku.

Come on now people. I know jack thompson comes on very strong all the time, and his outspoken attitude is often quite unpalatable. The truth of the matter though, is that his heart is in the right place. It's his responsibility, given to him directly by god almighty, that these kind of disgusting, violent, treacherous, vile, filthy, heathenous, perverted games don't fall into the hands of any poor, gullible sap under the age of thirty. Changing the second amendment so that anything can be censored is the right thing to do, because parents simply can't be held fully responsible for raising their own children. I admire jack thompson, and I feel he's completely in the right.














......................................NOT!

(seriously, how is this not old meme yet?)

Wait a minute...

Jack Thompson files addendum to suit.
Blog "Law of the Game" posts flaws in legal filing.
Judge strikes down suit.
Jack promises to refile, possibly while tucking a printout of "Law of the Game into his briefcase.

Hrm...

(Actually, I wish he WOULD read Law of the Game, specifically this line: "Sensationalism will typically not yield the best results. Being reasonable and agreeable to compromise generally works much better.")
