all apoligies if old

from gamepolitics.com:

"Jack Thompson's son bought a video game at a local Best Buy.

But not just any video game. It was, according to the game-hatin' attorney, BioShock,the M-ratedhit published by longtime Thompson target Take Two Interactive.

Thompson the Younger, by the way,is a mere lad of 15. From today's Thompson press release:

"The Best Buy retail clerk who sold this "Mature" game to Thompson's 15-year-old son is Alysia. She asked Thompson's son for his ID. He said he had none. She said, "I don't really care." She has a piercing through her right eyebrow, and she can be easily identified by Thompson and by store officials. She should be fired immediately. So should the store manager whose very same store sold Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to Thompson's son when he was 10 years old (!) in a sting that he and his father arranged, just like this one."

Nor was this Junior's first foray into the game sting biz. Although we don't recall the GTA purchase Thompson references in his press release,GamePolitics did cover a November, 2005 incident in which the Thompson kid purchased The Warriors, also at a local Best Buy. As readers may recall,back thenThe Warriorswas the Take Two game du jour whichThompson claimed wouldlead to the fall of Western Civilization."


its funny enough that jacks crazy about m rated games,but now hes probably brainwashed his son into believing the same....fantastic,now when jacks gone,our children can experience what we went through :)

I find it very prejudice that they mentioned the thing about the girl having a peircing. Like, really, what the HELL does that have to do with her selling him the game.

Yea, when I read that I thought they were going to say crap like "she was goth" or "she was a troubling teen" or some stupid crap like that. Then I woulda been PISSED. Cause alot of my friends are like that and 2 of them work at Gamestop and Ive tried to get them to let me buy an m rated game (Im 15, theyre 18) and they wont even do that for me so they wouldnt do it for a stranger.

At least his son has good taste in games!! If this wasn't a "sting" I think it's funny he's throwin this back in his dad's face. I think a 15 yr. old should be able to play a M rated game. I also agree with GTAvaccine 100% What does having a piercing have to do with the story?????

OK, Jack is a over zealous fanatic. Should any 15 year old play Bioshock - depends. Should a 10 year old play Vice City - no way. There is no 10 year old mature enough to handle Vice City. Mature games should be handled like cigarrettes and alcohol. Parents aren't doing their job so the government needs to.

OMG!!! What an outrage!!! That schlong-pierced worker, along with his supervisor and manager, store owner, the construction company that built the store, everyone in the parking lot (including, but not limited to) their families should be held to the highest standard in our judicial system because they are contributing to the "fall of all Western Civilization"

Man you need to chill, seriously...saying they might have not had her name is like saying that Jack Thompson might have not eaten a banana split that day. Also, I never said I had holes in my face...and if it was an honest editorial piece, they could have just left that whole part out,and the articlewould have appealed to everyone.

**** Jack Thompson, what an embarrassment to America. I'm sick of idiots like him. Becuase of him someone loses a job and more stores will probably get stricter again. It's like asking a 16 year-old for their ID when they try to go to an R rated movie...it's pointless.

Yea, most retail outlets make you take your facial peircings out while you work. The only place that I know of that lets you keep them in is Spencers Gifts and, probably, Hot Topic (Ive never been in HT, I order off the site :wink: ). I only know that cause my friend works at Spencers and she has 2 lip peircings, several eyebrows, a nose peircing, and a bridge peircing. And she always has them in

so wait... does he send his son in to buy these games just to see if it will work and then try to slam the company for it?   i really wouldn't put it passed him if that was the case.    Even so, the store employee is only half the battle.  Obviously, if a 10 year old kid is at best buy or where ever, he is not going to be there by himself.  Most 10 year old are accompanied by their parents in almost all public settings... so bwhere were his parents on this one?  
I think Thompson has a point, but i also think he's a jack***

Jack Thompson deserves a well-aimed kick in the nuts if anything. ESRB ratings are the reason why piracy becomes the better solution. If a kid came up to me and wanted to buy, lets say Doom 3 I'd still sell it to him.

Kids these days know what the game contains and are willing to spend 60 bucks for a lousy disc instead of letting it download overnight for free.

If all the clerks in my district were as uptight as JT wants them to be I wouldn't have been able to play Doom 2 and Duke Nuke'em at a very young age. Hell, even till this day I wouldn't be able to buy a single copy of GTA, Doom, Max Payne, etc.

JT exploits his child for personal goals, if anything he deserves to be sued.
