WHO CARES

[The Author]

Jack Thompson and maybe Bradley Burr.

[Nekofrog]

I thought everyone agreed to stop talking about him.

[FlagshipAmadeus]

Also that news is not new news in that it happened at least a week ago

[Hawkwing]

I thought everyone agreed to stop talking about him.

I thought so too...

[atmuh]

ya prophet stop making threads go get married and live it up

[Bleck]

jack thompson more like black jackson

[The Damned]

Great... so the crazy lawyer is gone, so the next guy to go after video games will be some smooth, suave, intelligent sounding guy.

As much as a douche-bag Jacky was, he did serve a purpose: to make anti-video game rhetoric look silly.

[Dhsu]

I almost read "jack thompson threatened with dismemberment." That would've been far more interesting.

[jayc4life]

haha, same here.

There was a thread already about this 2 weeks ago, old news.

[KyleJCrb]

Great... so the crazy lawyer is gone, so the next guy to go after video games will be some smooth, suave, intelligent sounding guy.

No, because the suave, smooth intelligent guy will be smart enough to research and understand both sides of the argument, and likely wouldn't go on the same blind crusade Thompson did.

[Devyn]

OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD.

OLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD!

Also, noone cares about Jack Thompson, just like noone cares about "Games as art".

OLD!!!

Sorry about being a jerk, I'm just getting tired of it.

Actually, the last news was a 10 year disbarment. Now it's a life long ban from practicing law.

[Poke'G]

Ah, that "lifetime" alteration is news to me.

Very good news.

... so the next guy to go after video games will be some smooth, suave, intelligent sounding guy.

Oh, no! James Bond is against video games. James Bond never loses. I think we're screwed.

Certainly a much wider smile on my face if it were true. Oh well, baby steps!

I reckon give him 10 minutes and a camera, and he will probably make someone want to. The blatant stupidity of the guy makes me wonder how he got a law degree.

I could have sworn it was meant to be hard to get a law degree. Then how could someone as idiotic as him get one?

He might have become idiotic after getting the degree.

[Thylacine]

He might have become idiotic after getting the degree.

I believe that is what's known as becoming "power drunk."

this was the main reason i brought it up. that, and finally slashdot posted a story that most of the people on this website would understand about games (aka not about graphics tech or something like that. you all know i live on slashdot most of the time when i'm near a computer and not on a game.
