Thompson is a funny old man lol...

Ok, my friend didnt know who Jack Thompson was so I sent him an article I was reading and in this article it said::

Jack recently appeared on CBS's 60 Minutes trying to drum up support for his efforts. However, this publicity was apparently not satisfying enough for him, as he went on to try and create more outrage on his own. Attempting to emulate Jonathan Swift, he issued a "Modest Proposal" that offered a US$10,000 reward to anyone who would create a video game featuring Osaki Kim, a father whose son was beaten to death with a baseball bat by a 14-year-old gamer. The game would feature Kim extracting brutal revenge on the video game industry itself, including beating game company executives to death, removing their heads and urinating on their brain stems.

 Now I dont know about you guys but this is hilarious to me. He's raging on violent video games but he offered a $10,000.00 reward to anyone who created a violent video game along those lines.

This little man's contradictory attitude is, in my opinion, just hilarious.

There is the article if any of you are interesting in reading it.^

I've heard this story before. After he refused to pay it, someone in he game industry paid the 10,000 to charity. Not sure who it was, but I think it was Take two.madcapper248

The most annoying thing about him is that he thinks he's smart and can't take a diss.  He abuses his job as a lawyer by suing anyone who doesn't agree with him...

Every time someone mentions his name he lives one more hour.capthavic

 It's the truth.  The smart thing to do would be ignore him, but idiots keep taking his little actions, which get no attention,

and spread them across the internet like wildfire on the gaming boards.   Ignore him, let him die, you're only contributing to

his goals. 

Or we COULD beat him to death with a 2x4. That would also work0v3rcl0ck3d

Sweet, can I be first in line? It'll be like that scene from the movie "Airplane 2" when the chick on the plane starts freaking out and then theres a long line of people waiting to beat her with all different kinds of weapons!!!!!   

That was two years ago?

don't remember hearing about it.
