[Curry]

Sites like Google News (http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=&q=jack+thompson&btnG=Search+News) and Technorati make an egotripper's life easy ;)

[The_Glovner]

No way! So that was old fuck nuts himself!?

Must have come across the site while trawling for midget porn.

[Curry]

Well can never be 100% sure but it's plausible enough given the evidence.

[The_Glovner]

Well thats me added my 2 cents.

Quite surprising that an oportunity like this has only led to 9 replies in the actual comments?

Thought that would have broke the 100 barrier by now.

[MrMoen]

I think Jack Thompson must have had on *ucked up childhood. I feel sorry for his children

It's playstatic we're talking about! A biased website run by Xbox 360 gamers! :P

Playstatic is not yet up there with Xboxic in daily pageviews ;)

[| V |]

That is mega awesome

[The_Glovner]

Playstatic is not yet up there with Xboxic in daily pageviews ;)

Should have put the article on Xboxic as well then.

This Jack nonsense affects all systems not just PS.

[Nino]

It concerns a PS2 exclusive title. Otherwise I'd agree.

[Chris]

He'll be having a problem with GTA: IV ;(

[Nino]

Or Postal 3 :D

[Fanappy]

did he complain about saints row ????


\/\/\/I'm guessing im missing something \/\/\/

[Rival24]

Nobody complains about Saints Row...

right Nino? :X

[Nino]

Verbs complained A LOT about Saints Row.

[Rival24]

Verbs complained A LOT about Saints Row.
Had something to do with the game being a GTA clone or something right?

on-topic: I couldn't help myself posting a link to Jackie's reply when writing this article (http://www.xboxic.com/news/1821) :P

[Curry]

He'll be having a problem with GTA: IV ;(
We'll send him a link once we get news on that. We got his mail address now!

[Chris]

:+:+:+:+

[Aift]

Jack Thompson's an ass.

Is it me, or does he only complain about games that ROCKSTAR makes?

[Rival24]

He dislikes Postal too :P

[Curry]

To be honest, Rockstar's games do have a tendency to involve heaps of gratuitious violence :+

But indeed, I can't remember hearing ole' Jack complain about Saints Row.

[Fanappy]

thanks for answering my question... i think the only problem he should have is children playing 15 or 18 (Teen or Mature) rated games when they arent the right ages and parents should be more responsible...

In England we had a case where a 14 killed a girl with a hammer after playing Manhunt who's fault is it well the parents not the games its given a rating which is fairly well upheld by game stores so he couldnt have bought it

[The_Glovner]

He complains about anything that doesn't contain good wholesome christian values.

Cock end that he is.

[The_Glovner]

Aww, no fair. Office firewall ain't letting me in, go and somebody cut and paste it over, I want to laugh at Jack too.

[Cage]

Jack Thompson May Face Jail for Contempt
Take-Two's legal eagles file "Petition for Order to Show Cause"
24 Oct 2006Link to this: http://news.spong.com/article/11001


Jack Thompson - Crusader for goodness and joy!SPOnG’s favourite right-wing anti-gaming sparring partner, US attorney, Jack Thompson, could be facing some jail time if it’s ruled that he can be held in contempt of court.

This startling new turn of events follows on from the legal shenanigans in Florida’s Miami-Dade court surrounding Thompson’s calls to have Rockstar’s Bully (Surely, ‘Canis Kills Editor’ or whatever it’s called. Ed) banned which SPOnG told you all about earlier this month.

Philadelphia-based lawyers, Blank-Rome, representing Rockstar’s parent company Take-Two Interactive have called for the ‘crusading’ attorney to be held in contempt of court, following his outburst over Miami-Dade’s Judge Ronald Friedman’s ruling to that Bully/Canis should not be banned. After viewing the game in his chambers, Friedman decreed the game was fit for sale and contained less violence than the average US citizen saw on telly every night.

This was all too much for Jack, who accused the judge of smiling as he passed the ruling and, it seems, had some choice words to impart to the officers of the court.

Take-Two’s legal eagles are now asking that Thompson be held in contempt of court for these comments. SPOnG is not yet able to tell you exactly the content of the unlawyerly outbursts; but it doesn’t take a High Court Judge to speculate that they were less to do with swearing on the bible than with plain swearing.

Lawyers from Blank Rome, have filed a "Petition for Order to Show Cause" which, if granted, will compel Thompson to appear in Friedman's court to explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt of court.

Jack’s response to Blank Rome? In a typically outspoken rejoinder, as we have come to expect, Jack has informed the media that, "The motion to show cause filed by defendant Take-Two is a transparent, panicked attempt to cover up the misconduct, including the fraudulent misrepresentations to the public and to this Court, by its employees and its counsel, Blank Rome."

In an hilarious email to GamePolitics, Thompson also added, “You want to play hardball…? You want to try to throw me in jail? You have no idea what you are unleashing in doing this. You’re at the brink…”

More on this interesting twist in the tale as we get it. SPOnG's full review of Bully/Canis is being finalised as we go to press, so watch out for that one shortly. The game is finally available to buy this coming Friday (27th October) so do yourself a favour and go get a copy. You can then see for yourself that, as well as being a cracking schoolboy caper, this whole teacup storm instigated by Thompson is indeed little more than a waste of US taxpayer's money.

[The_Glovner]

Ha, fucking pricless.

You don't know who your messing with, yes they do a right wing christian tit, you are on the brink, off what? Jack praying for you soul.

What a wank.

[Jasovanooo]

Jack Thompson's an ass.

Is it me, or does he only complain about games that ROCKSTAR makes?


no he hates the sims aswell...ffs

[Curry]

no he hates the sims aswell...ffs
Lol yeah I remember that, about the nude sims having sex together or something :D

I should get an interview with the guy.

[Jasovanooo]

the way they crowded round the bog in a glitch was also mentioned

that and the above nude sims.
but they needed to be modded to be nudesque not something somebody does by mistake lmao

[Rival24]

no he hates the sims aswell...ffs

Why would anyone 'hate' the sims? :D

[Jasovanooo]

well i hate it because its rehashed overhyped shit from EA the proud makers of the shittest game in every catagory.

but he probably hates it because the sims havnt released the "born again christian" pack yet...and because hes a cnut

[Praetorian]

"Mr Thompson, comments like this “Even though you’re gamers, which means your frontal lobes are fried, see if you can follow this:” Have no place in a valid argument. Leave your dodgy legal practises out of our website, for the sake of your dignity.

Also, please do not admit that you search google daily to see which webpages have insulted you. I think you will find far too many to flame in one lifetime.

Thank you. "

Shall we e-mail penny arcade and ask them to step in? They are good at embarrasing him.

Just had to digg up this old thread cause he's at it again 8)7
Video Games Behind Virginia Tech Tragedy
Once again gaming has sunk a nation into mourning according to Jack Thompson, who was able to voice his views through the medium of that unsung champion of free speech; Fox News.

Only yesterday the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history, shook the nation and before most of us, including the authorities, could string a couple of thoughts together about the incident, Jack Thompson was ready with the solution; ban gaming.

At least 33 people lost heir lives at the Virginia Tech University shootings yesterday, making it the deadliest such incident on record and, as is customary in such occasions, everyone has an opinion about the causes behind such events. The fools claiming that gun control laws are required, those misguided idiots suggesting that the example set by the aggressive policies of the U.S. government is having a negative effect on its citizens should all seal their orifices and bow before that unwavering tower of morality that is Jack Thompson.

Speaking during the Fox News coverage of the shootings Jack Thompson made it clear that he is certain that video games are behind this incident. We should trust Mr. Thompson's views he is after all, a lawyer.

[Fanappy]

Ugh personally disgusted with him using a tragedy such as that to push his narrow minded politcal views blaming something totally unrelated wow he is a big man

[mass9]

my balls_________Jack Thompson's face

oo ------> :o



insert balls (Column 'A') into mouth (column 'B')
remove and repeat at will.

[Chris]

╦══╬

[Curry]

Most pathetic is that he was already blaming video games within 2 hours after the shooting, when the shooter wasn't even confirmed dead yet.

How's that for good taste.

[mass9]

╦══╬

WTF is this supposed to be?

[Chris]

a key to your heart

[Colby]

He'll be having a problem with GTA: IV ;(

O well...I think it has been made obvious that nobody cares what Jack Thomson thinks.:X
