Linky Wow, could this be the end of poor old Jack? Or is this 'satire'?

I'm not a Jack Thompson defender by any stretch of the imagination, but Destructoid is fishing here.

He's not saying, "You should go rape a child," he's being overdramatic trying to say, "Manhunt being played by children is the equivelant to raping them. If you support Rockstar, you're supporting something that's equally as bad as raping them."

No matter how overdramatic he is being, by stooping to this level, it just makes gamers look just as stupid. I wish Destructoid would retract the article immediately and save gamers the embarassment.

Learn to read English, Destructoid.

Flaming Jack Thompson is easy as stealing nuts from a dead squirrel. I don't think he expressed the exact concept that has been reported on Destructiod. Don't lose you objectivity guys: he may not have all the points in the world, but sometimes he says some reasonable things. Not this time, though.

Every private conversation between Jackie Boy and someone else that I've even seen published has him being a complete and utter jackass. You'd think a lawyer would be a little bit more conservative in his speech.

Amazing how people can take stuff out of context huh? Sounds as professional as Fox News.

I agree this isn't a Spitzer like case, where Jack got caught telling Dtoid to rape a child, but he needs something for that dirty mouth of his.

Ex-Governor Spitzer was the most serious threat to video games, and the hypocrisy exposed in that case, although staggering if you knew what Spitzer was up to as Attorney General, seems to fit all the anti-video gamers. If a non-hypocrite who knew what they were talking about came along, I bet we'd all listen respectfully, even if we disagreed. Find me such a person.

Thompson: Why don't you just molest children directly rather than through Rockstar. It would be more personal that way.

Actually I thought that was hilarious.

Busting Jack's ass by taking things he said out of context is EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES WITH VIDEO GAMES. Stop already.
