I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! I am delighted to alert all of you defenders of freedom of expression here (cough) that I am assisting the good folks of Flint, Michigan on this. See, there would be no suit but for my prep of Senator Clinton for her blockbuster news conference on "Hot Coffee" in July 2005. Also, as an aside, I am now working with the legislators in Louisiana on their video game bill to make it constitutionally bullet-proof. Hooah! I may be addressing the Take-Two Board of Directors face-to-face shortly, as its past Audit Chair has asserted fraud by senior Take-Two management in lying to the Board! Double hooahs! Finally, if Dennis McCauley dares--dares--take down this post with this news in it, it will be the dumbest thing he has EVER done. Your humble, active, and exceedingly successful dismantler of all things Rockstar, Jack Thompson
Thompson quotes
I'm now in contact with this DA's office. We shall prevail.
Secondly, please note that a lot of web site's don't allow right-click copying. One of them is the law firm of Blank Rome. You should know that, Dennis, since you're in contact with them.
Finally, blockbuster video game copycat wrongful death suit about to be filed. Hooah! Jack Thompson

Yes, and thank you You all can't engage in a debate on the harm done to kids by adult-rated violent games without targeting me for criminal abuse. How in the world do you live with your hypocritical selves. Jaketheelf gets it. thank you. Jack Thompson




Thompson Jack quotes
He obviously hasn't banned me successfully, junior. So he can't ban whomever he wants. Waaaah!

"It Simply Drives GP Crazy"
Well, then, that was a short drive to Crazyland for the folks who run GP.
Obama is correct in his criticism of youth culture, because it explains, largely, why American students are falling behind the rest of the world.
American kids spend, according to the Kaiser Foundation, on the average 6.5 hours per day consuming electronic entertainment, made possibly by multi-tasking consumption.
This is time that should be spent doing homework, reading books, getting exercise etc.
Only a "crazy" bunch of gamers, to use Dennis McCauley's own descriptive and accurate word, would think that video games, which constitute a colossal waste of time and talent, are not affecting how kids act, think, and develop.
Indeed, the influence of the games can be shown by the total inability of the gamer pixelantes who post here to grasp this obvious truth. How sad. How predictable. How typical of lazy American gamer nitwits.

Jack Thompson quotes
Please, go right ahead. Senator Clinton herself said "The game ratings system is broken." Good luck convincing her otherwise.
Jack Thompson
...Don't lecture me about how I'm somehow akin to Hitler. Gamers are akin to the Hitler Youth. Pixelantes are vigilantes. You put threats ahead of arguments, extortion ahead of enlightenment.
You all are the new book burners. Heil PS2! Heil Halo! Heil GTA!
Put down the controllers and get a life, you lost souls. Jack Thompson.
Thompson Jack quotes
Oh, and what was the previous image? Do I have to get a subpoena issued to find out?
Thompson
Nice blasphemy.
Thompson Jack
Hey, how about a video game depicting the killing of the people who run Joystiq? Bet they'd be real interested in doing something about a certain game then. Maybe then they'd feel how cops and women feel about GTA. Oh, but that would require some actual thought, and I forgot: You're all gamers!
Jack Thompson
Actually, you DO have a constitution in Britain. Now, you have five minutes to tell me what documents it consists of...tick...tick...tick...




Jack Thompson quotes
What the Japanese are doing to our kids is insensitive and racist. The Japanese have for a very long time dumped pornography into this country in a fashion they would not tolerate in their own country. It is another version of Pearl Harbor.

as to what Hal Halpin is thinking about, that it missed a real video game story:
Dad shoots at computer, saying son spends too much time playing games
By Joseph Langenderfer
Dunedin, Florida - A Dunedin dad probably made his point about his son spending too much time on the computer. Pinellas Sheriff's deputies say he shot at the monitor as his son sat near-by. Forty-four-year-old Joseph Langenderfer was arrested Monday afternoon at his home on Frances Street.
His 22-year-old son Tim called 911, saying he and his dad were arguing and his dad had just shot at him.
The older Langenderfer reportedly told deputies he was mad that his son had not done the laundry and was spending all his time playing games on their computer. He told deputies that although he told his son he was going to shoot the computer, the gun accidentally fired.
The bullet hit the wall about three feet from where the son was sitting.
Langenderfer is in the Pinellas County jail charged with one count of attempted murder, (accused of trying to kill his son, not the computer.)
Thompson quotes
No, it's a joke. I thought gamers liked jokes... Oh, I get it. Not when the joke's on you. Your bad. Jack Thompson

Yes, I guess I did. But "fraud" requires selling something.
Dennis McCauley
Like myself as a "columnist" for the St. Paul Pioneer Press, when I'm not, which is why that paper told me to stop. Thank for reminding me. Dennis
Thompson Jack quotes
I love the smell of burning gamers in the morning.

'EGM: You once compared Doug Lowenstein, president of the Entertainment Software Association, to Saddam Hussein.
JT: If I did, I want to apologize to Saddam Hussein. Doug is a propagandist to whom the facts don't matter.'
Jack Thompson quotes
These flowers were sent to harass me.
Jack Thompson
The Bible doesn't promote killing innocent people, Grand Theft Auto does. Islam does. Islam promotes the killing of innocent people. The Quran requires the infidel, whether Jew or Christian, to be killed. ... That's a core essence of the religion. ... Muhammad was a pirate who killed infidels and who advocated the killing of infidels. Not a nice guy. Osama bin Laden is in keeping with his fine tradition.

Bully contains homosexual activities between Jimmy Hopkins and other male students. Is this a great country or what?
