Jack Thompson Urinates on Your Severed Brain Stem

That's the entire point. Thompson's trying to 'prove' that videogame companies really do believe that videogames cause copycat crimes, but are hiding it from the public. If nobody in the industry steps up to produce this 'game', he'll claim that it's because they're afraid to, that they fear it'll 'train' gamers to kill them. If such a game was ever made and Eibeler was murdered afterwards, Thompson would be declaring that to be his proof that videogames train impressionable people to kill.

What i don't get is why he doesn't attack battlefield 2, it's a game set in a war with lots of violence yet it only has a T rating, can you say hypocracy? Look at America's Army, that game literally trains people to kill very close to the way they do in the army.

Whereas playing an unrealistic game such as GTA, where your car can take alot mroe in real life, you can get shot without even blinking an eye, and black people are rich, its naughty.

Jack Thompson doesn't care about black people.

Take your case to the US Army instead of video games jackie boy, many people that are formally trained by the armed services murder in a civilian situation more than any amount of dumb teens too bored to think.

I hate Jack Thompson with passion, and he sounds like a pedophile, during the brief conversation we had together. I think he's just itching for some child porno, and takes it out on us honest folk.

/me lines up scope to Jack Thompson's brain housing complex...

BOOM HEADSHOT!

Well besides the obvious racial sterotyping that this jack character eluded to ("Osaki Kim " anyone?) you'd wonder why he didn't say Billy Morris, or Joe Schmoe. That aside i say they make the game and donate 20k to the earthquake victims and ask him to match the donation.

Damn. Now I want to make a Doom mod based on that. Maybe he'd give me $10,000

LOL!

Everytime the news eats up some game like it does (gta usually...) i get the idea how cool it would be to make a game where the gamers (us) take our revenge against the misinformed lying media, basically gta but the goal is to kill and torture the media and politicians that always blame games for people being ignorant bastards.

Atleast then when someone DOES do something in the game for real, the people (jack thompson) would deserve it

Kinda funny how he flipped it around to make it so they are taking it out on the games industry....

Take two should do it, but make the main character suck real bad and die all the time. game industry people could jump out with really overpowered guns and own, using cheap ai tactics deveploped for griefing players for years.. Then at the end, he could be like "Damn, im sorry jack (thompson, his son) i guess when all those angry gamers beat you to death, it really was just cause your a ignorant ******* like their lawyers said, not because of the games they play" . Then he shoots himself as the end game credits roll by.

Wait, wait, this may be a good thing
Let them make that game, that way people can sue Jack Thompson when their kid goes on a rampage

I think all future violent games should have a character that is a parodie of Jack Thompson...

I think we should eat babies.

I do so everyday. I cannot stop it, because I play videogames, you know.

I wouldn't make this game. The bastard would give you the money and then turn around and sue you for millions in royalties or copyright infringement.

You may have seen Jack’s proposal mentioned on various news sites. He’s offering 10 grand to charity if a game developer makes a game based on his insane proposal.

So I got his email address and I went ahead and sent Jack a note this morning:

10 grand is pretty weak man. Through our charity www.childsplaycharity.org gamers have given over half a million dollars in toys and cash to children’s hospitals all over the country.

I’ll let you know if he responds.

The fact is when we kick off Child’s Play 2005 on November 1st we’ll be going global. We’ll be delivering videogames and toys to children’s hospitals all over the world now. I don’t think there’s any better response to Jack’s insane ramblings than that. Maybe Jack would like to donate his 10 grand to Child’s Play, that could buy a lot of Game Boys.

My email sig had my phone number in it. Jack actually just called and screamed at me for a couple minutes. He said if I email him again I will “regret it”. What a violent man.

With all the hatemails he must be receiving you'd think he'd just ignore it, but no...instead he screams at you over the phone.

I remember a while ago when somebody posted his e-mail correspondance with the guy.
He actually mentioned he agreed with him on certain topics, but Mr Thompson didn't even read the mails, just started ranting on how the mailer was a stupid gamer or something like that.

It is. "Modest Proposal" is a phrase chosen very specifically by Thompson. Look it up and you'll see the analogy he's trying to make.

I looked it up on Google last night, and got links to the original piece of satire by Johnathan Swift.

By what I said, though, I meant that I was hoping the news story itself was a hoax.

*SIGHS*

somehow i think that if one took the time they could see all this boil down to some traumatic experience in childhood where the little jack was indeed a video game fan but all his friends wouldn't let him use the 'space invaders' machine so now he's going for revenge on all gamers and all videogames or something...
