One such instance occurred just days before the defense filed those motions. In a press release, Thompson characterized Japanese electronics giant Sony's willingness to allow a game as violent as Grand Theft Auto III to be distributed in the US as "Pearl Harbor 2."

"He canÂ’t proceed with the civility the rules require," attorney for the defense Jim Smith said. "All lawyers have to conduct themselves with honesty, integrity and civility. This isnÂ’t a street fight."

Good call.
 
What a tool. He would have been dismissed from the case regardless. What a bald attempt at damage control or face saving.

"Pearl Harbor II" seems to imply that he thinks that GTAIII comes from Japan. What a TOOL. :lol
 
If there was one person in the world who died for whatever reason and I would *celebrate*, it'd be Jack Thompson.

You just got owned by your peers Jack.

:lol
 
Thank you jesus.

This has got to be considered as ultimately the result of the PA/gaming community push against him. If it weren't for that, his press release probably wouldn't have even been published anywhere (if he'd even have written it at all) and this would've all been moot.

LOVELY.

I was really close to hitting backspace and fixing that one, out of reverence, but I was in a bit of a rush. Shit.

Hope I'm not heading to hell, now. It'd suck to spend the rest of eternity with Jack Thompson.
