F*kcing hell. What freaks me out about this is that Stef is convinced that Jack Thompson is a good guy who's sole mission is simply to make sure the sale of GTA to minors is made illegal, all while having a laugh!

:|

Anyways. he's posting it in a bit so I'll link it when it's up. But from the quotes he MSN'd across, I'm not convinced of anything other Jack Thompson being a super manipulative right winger who wants to futher his career under the banner 'doing the right thing for the kids'.

I guess we shall see...

Jack Thompson is a good guy

speechless

will read for entertainment value.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I will end someone!!!!

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

I can't say I care too much either way. If this guy's political pandering leads to censorship of videogames of the Indigo Prophecy variety, then more power to him. I'll be a happy man if I never see polygons having sex on my computer monitor ever again.

Oh almost forgot. Jack Thompson IS THE DEVILLLL OMFG!!@!

 

[Zaphod]

Like we needed more proof of how clueless sp*ng is.

 

[koam]

Can't we just bundle up all the Jack Thomshit threads into one.. and send them to the sun.

 

[Callo Merlose]

Them? It's probably a fake interview.

 

[Juice]

No doubt they secured the interview just by giving Jack Thompson the positive attention HE CRAVES.

Still, anyone who starts an e-mail "dear idiot:" and doesn't even hit enter should simply not be taken seriously or believed to be a professional, sober attorney.

Fuck Jack Thompson in the goddamn ear.

 

[Shard]

Dear god, this is going to be like some huge credibility sucking vortex

 

[Ghost]

No doubt they secured the interview just by giving Jack Thompson the promise of free booze on Nintendos credit card.

Fixed.


Never forget.

Fixed.

Buddy got a raw deal. Even bypassing the censorship shouldn't be allowed.

It is my spiritual journey as a Christian who became one in 1976, but also my journey through these battles in the larger culture war.

....

No, I am not in any sense a 'gamer'. I've been too busy to do that. If that response is taken to be a criticism of how gamers spend their time, it is because it is intended to be.

Christians, turn in your jackets!

EDIT: More!

I'd be an idiot, or more of one, not to use the symbolic (and actual) significance of a huge event like Columbine to make my point.

He knows!

That is how it works in Japan, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, other countries. It works there. Here, the 'M' labels mean absolutely nothing.

Zuh? I fucking live in Japan, and the only rule is that no one ever cards anyone for anything ever. Meanwhile, I was carded at a Toys 'R' Us in the states when I bought Vice City. What the fuck?

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Why are you guys spelling it using a *?

 

[Vashu]

Why are you guys spelling it using a *?

Because the word sp*ng has been banned for a long time...

Also, I don't know what to make of his ramblings, other than that he is literally full of himself. 'I as a Christian have to fullfill my duty.' Syeah, right.

If only that were true. If it was, JT would have my full support.

It's a shame that in reality he's a fucktard.

 

[dog$]

So let me get this straight.

I'm supposed to click on a link that goes to some site I never visit in order to read their interview with some guy I have no need to acknowledge.

Uh sure I'll get right on that.

 

[Shompola]

$pong

 

[crunker99]

free booze lol that gave me a chuckle

remeber the more we pay attention to jackass thompson the more inclined he is to not go away


if the major media outlets would stop putting him on maybe wed have a shot

It is indeed a shame.

The problem with that is I have never seen anyone carded for a game other than GTA. I've seen games like Conker for Xbox and God of War sell to minors with no problem. It's retarded to see something like:

Jack Thompson is a good guy who's sole mission is simply to make sure the sale of GTA to minors is made illegal

GTA is hardly the worst offender, but it's the only game that sees any action against it.
