He touts it around like its a case he won, when obviously the character must of been "for the other side".

He's accusing several companies, including Take Two, Kotaku, Gamespot, IGN, and Penny Arcade of... wait for it... racketeering. In case you don't know what racketeering is, it's usually a protection racket (Pay us and we won't burn down your store).

Here's how the "racketeering" works in this case: People have gone to Jack's residential neighborhood handling out "libellous" pamphlets, shooting at his house, harassing him online, threatening his son, and (my personal favorite) sending sex aids to his wife. It's racketeering because those sites are somehow "knowingly orchestrating" these attacks. Plus, every bully I've ever had was commanded by aliens.

A personal opinion of mine: this man deserves our wrath. He has constantly tried to destroy our precious freedom of speech all in the name of "stopping murder." Even if he was right, we would still give him hell over this. But I think that threatening his son over this is unacceptable. His son has done nothing wrong. He has to deal with having a dad that many people, including myself hate. If you hate Jack, man up and take it out on him. You're not a comic villain, you don't have to target his family. It is because of his son that he started the crusade against games, but his son still isn't at fault. Jack found him playing games of violent nature and was outraged and decided to bitch at the developers instead of parenting. Blaming his son for the "crusade" is like blaming racism on the other races.

Well, that's just my two cents, maybe seven but whatever.

You know what this means don't you? DON'T YOU??!!

We now know the CAUSE! If we know the CAUSE, we can change the EFFECT!!

...ANYONE??! *Tumbleweed and blank, confused faces*

TIME TRAVEL of course!!

All we need to do is find out WHEN these games were bought and then go back and stop his son from buying them... by buying them all first! It's so simple. We can erase Jacks entire crusade from history and finally have peace!

...Or am I just living in a dream world?

He was too busy reading his Bible.

Lord of Joshelplex · 04-11-2007, 01:53 PM

This is too funny. This whole time I thought he was smart, trying to cash in on the publics uneducated knowledge of games, playing us like fools, but really, he made a stupid decision and want to cover it up.

Sporticus · 04-11-2007, 03:51 PM

Oh, I believe that he's trying to cash in NOW, just that it evolved over the billions of years he has been alive.

Also, I don't believe that his Bible Thumping is an act.

What the eff?

In sending documents to opponents, Thompson would frequently attach a photocopy of his driver's license, with a photo of Batman pasted over his own, just to make sure they knew who they were dealing with. Thompson said, "I have sent my opponents pictures of Batman to remind them I'm playing the role of Batman. Just like Bruce Wayne helped the police in the movie, I have had to assist the sheriff of Broward County."

He actually compared himself to the goddamn BatMan!
