Here's a curious one. Last week I posted (rather controversially) a story about church ministers using Halo to lure children like Gary Glitter into the waiting arms of Baby Jesus. I do believe it was asked by one of our readers exactly what game-obsessed Jack Thompson would make of such a situation -- would this Christian man condemn these recruitment tactics, or would he spin it to somehow slam videogames while giving God a thumbs-up? Well, we'll soon know.
The silver-haired stallion will be appearing on The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet at 9AM on the Fox Network. He's there to discuss the partnership between Halo 3 and God that some ministers have approved of. Knowing Jack, something completely off-the-wall will be said and I personally can't wait to see how he twists this one to serve his own agenda. Say something crazy and laughable Jack, that's why we keep you around.
Personally, I hope he threatens Microsoft again. The idea that he thinks he can cause any iota of fear in a corporation that could crush him is hilarious. One can only wait until he pushes Microsoft hard enough for it to push back. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must pop down to St. Paul's for a round of Resistance.

Somebody better record it and stick it up on youtube. :/ I even happen to get 3 Fox channels where I live (Two local affiliates and Fox News), but none of those have "The morning show with Mike and Juliet".
*Cries* I wanted to see the Video Game Anti-Christ!
Nice spiel but The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the One True God. He can shake an xbox out of a sandwich bag full of spare electronics in like 20 minutes.
I mean, we have science for a reason.
And Gears has shit multiplayer.
:D
It's more likely than you think.
