Jack Thompson...AGAIN

[2nyRiggz]

This guy is getting on my nerves. He has some serious beef and I hope take-two takes him out...not in a violent type of way of manhunt:)

He's already lost so many legal battles that the only way he bothers anymore is to get his name in the paper again. What a tool. :rolleyes:

[Corrosive vinyl]

what kind of crazy thing could he do to get a judge to complain about him to the BAR... hahaha! Any Laywer knows where to draw the line, well, almost any. I agree that sometimes videogames go too far... but I just don't play them. ;)

In a follow-up to the blog we posted on Friday regarding Take Two's
lawsuit against Jack Thompson, it appears that the Florida lawyer
has struck back with a response all his own. In the blog, you'll find
his full response, as well as my personal take on what he's
saying...that is, if we can figure it out. Here's the response, unedited
for your reading pleasure...

- - - - - - - - - -
"Dear Gamers and Gamer Publications on the Internet and Elsewhere:

I have been praying, literally, that Take-Two and its lawyers would
do something so stupid, so arrogant, so dumb, even dumber than
what they have to date done, that such a misstep would enable me
to destroy Take-Two.

With the filing of this SLAPP lawsuit last week, my prayers are
finally answered. This lawsuit, filed in US District Court for the
Southern District of Florida, is, without a doubt, the single dumbest
thing I have ever seen any lawyers do in my thirty years of
practicing law -- while in continuous good standing to do so with
The Florida Bar, I might add, the shock radio and video game
industry's efforts notwithstanding. I encourage folks to read
Psalm 35, a Psalm of David, which is brilliant in its entirety (since
God Himself wrote it), but for those who don't own a Bible or who
think their hands will catch on fire if they touch one, here is the
salient portion that applies to this lawsuit:

7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which
without cause they have digged for my soul.

8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that
he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his
salvation.

The pit Take-Two has dug for itself will be patently clear next week
when I strike back. Oh, and by the way, the entire Take-Two
management and board will be gone on March 23, so this
pit-digging comes at a very bad time indeed. Amen, and Praise
be to God Almighty, maker of Heaven, Earth, and yes, the maker
even video games.

Jack Thompson"

Well he's not trying to ban games in my country, so I don't really care about it.

Is JT the Mary Whitehouse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Whitehouse) of America ?

[sikkinixx]

The next step for jack is obviously martyrdom. He is gonna go Rampage GTA style on some cops and then blame the game for doing it.


"GTA killed my father!....and raped my Mother!!! *sobs*"

Wow...if any Sony, MS or Nintendo bought them, they'd have a system seller.

Nintendo wants more "mature" games...

I doubt they would buy. But wow if they did. That would shake up the internet like February's NDP.
