So, Should We Indict Patricia Vance Now or Wait?
Patricia Vance and the ESRB have been knowingly involved in marketing and selling harmful material to minors for years. The ESRB is owned and operated by the video game industry, for Heaven's sakes.
The ESRB knew for weeks and weeks that GTA: San Andreas contained the Hot Coffee material and yet they did absolutely nothing about it until Hillary, armed with the information I gave her, broke the log jam.
Of course the ESRB ratings are a sham. They were designed to be a sham. Patricia Vance, get an honest job. Or better yet, go on a city-to-city tour with Doug Lowenstein and the two of you can explain that the Holocaust never happened. Jack Thompson

Let's Arrest Patricia Vance for... conspiring to distribute material harmful to minors.
Patty, pay attention: Your organization puts phony ratings and descriptors, according to Harvard, on the games. That's fraud.
Secondly, you recite, like a mantra, the usefulness of the ESRB ratings in "helping parents make educated pruchase decisions." This is the biggest crock of all. Your organization fights the passage of laws that require A PARENT TO BE THERE AT THE POINT OF SALE, PATTY!
There is no parent involved in the sale when a 15-year-old, and in some instances a 9-year-old, as Lieberman has proven, presents to a cash register at Target and is able to buy GTA: SA, with no parent in site.
The ESRB does not want parents making these decision. The ESRB, and the ESA, want the retail industry to sell mature games to kids with no parents in sight, as proven by their efforts in courts to knock down laws that simply say: A parent must be there.
Patricia Vance is a liar. Hal Halpin is a liar. Doug Lowenstein is a liar. The entire video game industry is involved in a sham use of ESRB ratings to distribute sexual and violent material harmful to minors.
Yee is right. Clinton is right. David Walsh is right. All of you are wrong.
Repent of your sin, kiddies. Patricia Vance, I've given up on you.

JACK THOMPSON = BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO GAMEPOLITICS It's simply amazing. The only news stories that garner any interest, any substantial number of posted comments, are the ones either about Jack Thompson or ones at which I post and then you pixelante nazi thugs Pavlov-style. Happy to make Dennis McCauley money. Moving on to Patricia Vance, however. I am today asking Elliot Spitzer, the Attorney General in New York who is presently running for Governor, to act upon Harvard's unasailable findings that the ESRB ratings are a sham. Spitzer, most of you don't know because you don't read the news other than GameInformer magazine, specializes in criminal actions against the entertainment industry. I think the intentionally coquette-ish Pat Vance, her head alluringly and unprofessionally tilted to side to make her appear comely, would look delightful in an orange Rikers jumpsuit, don't you? She should be in one, since she and her ESRB having knowingly participated in (conspired) to adult entertainment into the hands of kids in violation of prohibitions against fraud. Patricia, get a good lawyer. You're going to need one. That excludes Blank Rome. Best, Jack Thompson

Actually, I'm having the last laugh right now...
Because, as just about everybody admits, including Doug Goebbels Lowenstein, it was the Hot Coffe scandal that lit the fuse on this anti-video game push, and I'm the guy who prepped Hillary for her homerun last July on the issue.
I'm laughing my head off right now. I set out to destroy Rockstar, and I'm well on the way. And the entire ESRB/ESA sham rating system is coming down with them.
You're going to have the last laugh? About what? About how you have the last Grand Theft Auto game marketed and sold to kids? Jack Thompson

This would be a great idea if only the ESRB had the sense to hire an outfit whose principals had real talent.
Additionally, not real smart to hire a crew that has put out a t-shirt featuring a Jesus Christ who says "Don't be a dick."
That shows how totally out of touch the coquettish Patricia Vance is with mainstream America.
I love it. Boy, am I going to have fun with the "Dick" t-shirt.

WRONG
That is exactly what the Harvard study stays. It says the descriptors are way off and that the T rated games contain M levels of violence. I've even spoken with Harvard's Kimberly Thompson about the "ratings creep." No, that's not Patricia Vance. It's the fake nature of the game ratings. Grow up and learn how to read. Jack Thompson
