So Kotaku reported earlier today that Jack Thompson is actually supportive of Mass Effect in the wake of the sex-scene scandle. Yes, that's right, Jack Thompson, the man who blames all of soceity's vices on GTA and every other M rated game in existence, and who has yet to shut up about Hot Coffee, is actually defending Mass Effect's sex scene.

Why would you be surprised. I don't see any problem with it. The guy who shot his mouth off about it had no idea what the Hell he was talking about.

From: Brian
You mean you're OK with mass effect?

Of course. This contrived controversy is absolutely ridiculous. Report that, why don't you?
Now there is no word in the English language, and really any language on Earth, that can convey the epic amount of irony in this email exchange. I mean, not only is this a textbook example of the pot calling the kettle black, but JT even unloads irony when he says "The guy ... had no idea what the hell he was talking about" (Lawarnce Cooper is a woman). But that's nothing compared to the fact that JT is actually defending a video game, and one with a sex scene no less. Is JT just trying to act sane now that the Florida State Bar is deciding whether or not to revoke his license? Is this an indication that the world really is going to end in 2012? Does the fabled pigasus really exist? Who knows.
