We need to go all out on him. Create the unholy union of 4chan, SomethingAwful, Steam Forums and The Escapist (Satan: So what's the daily unholiness? *turns on HellTV* Mmmhmm. Mmmhmmm. Mmmhmmm... WHAT. HOLY SHIT I NEED TO START PULLING MY WEIGHT) then proceed to make his life miserable in every. Way. Possible.
Shoot an experimental laser into his wife's head and turn her into a lesbian that's also the vengeful type.
P.S. Why wasn't there this kind of uproar over Counter-Strike? It featured terrorists prominently, and the act of bombing a site (although no civilians are shown)
Jokes on you Jack: They're still there, they just slapped on a different name-tag. Regardless, I'll see you there old man.
What were his previous victories? I was under the impression he was largely unsuccessful while he was still a lawyer. Then he got essentially fired from his career. Which is I suppose impressive in it's own right, maybe that's what he meant.
No one takes you seriously Jack, go sit in the corner and watch your precious culture evolve. Like it always has.

when i first heard this, i was very mad. i think it's the letters to EA from families of fallen soliders in the middle east that really changed their minds. i mean, come on, i hate to see EA change the taliban thing b/c you have to respect everyone's 1st amendment rights. but when families of fallen soliders start complaining, i'd feel like an asshole to flame at them, right?Greg Tito said:Jack Thompson Claims Victory in MOH Taliban Removal
Jack Thompson says that he was the reason that EA removed the Taliban in Medal of Honor, and if you don't believe that you can "go to hell."
Back when the world first heard that some players in Medal of Honor multiplayer modes would be referred to as Taliban, Jack Thompson wrote a letter to Robert Gates, the U.S. Secretary of Defense beseeching him to do something. Thompson's plea was largely ignored, possibly because everyone has grown tired of hearing from the disgracefully disbarred Florida attorney. But when a games journalist decided to test the waters to see if the former lawyer had any comment on EA pulling back on mentioning Taliban in MOH, Thompson was happy to claim credit for EA's flipflop.
"I win again, as usual," Thompson wrote. "Any gamers who don't think so and who don't appreciate what I do to protect our culture can go to Hell."
Wow. I'm not sure if that was necessary. I mean, Thompson didn't even give us a chance to respond before he just blatantly said we were all jerks for not appreciating him.
But that's not all, he followed up with explicit instructions on how to get to lower depths.
"Any gamers that don't know how to get to Hell on an expedited basis, let me know, and I'll send along the cheat code to get there more quickly."
Oh, Jack Thompson. You slay me. And send me to hell, all in fell swoop. My hat's off to you.

anyway, as i read the whole thing, i remembered what i need to do when some nationally known figure pisses me off (i.e. westboro baptist church) i don't flame, I LAUGH!!!!

xD THAT'S FUCKING HILARIOUS!!! IT'S LIKE HE'S STILL PISSED ABOUT BEING IN THAT ONE MORTAL KOMBAT GAME!!!
but seriously, jack thompson is such a wash-up now that no one's going to believe him about being able to change EA's mind. the letter(s?) that he sent to washington were "widely ignored". how could you of done anything when you literally failed to do it?
honestly, jack thompson is the most annoying man on the planet. how about we throw him a huge party, give lots of presents, invite everyone, then maybe his excessive need for attention will simmer down for a month. now what to do about his unprofessional and embarrassing actions, well, take a stab at it, he's hopeless there.
If hell has no Jack Thompson, I'd gladly take the bus there. Also, that picture is creepy. It's like you can see in his eyes how he's dead inside.
Thank you Jack Thompsan. Thank you for proving that America doesn't have the balls to kill terrorists, or mock them by playing as them, something they probably despise. Thank you for increasing the likeliness that the Taliban will make more attempts to demoralize the American public, you know, WHAT TERRORISM IS FUCKING FOR.
Thank you, Mister Thompsan, for proving you are a criminal, and an enemy to freedom. Fuck you Mister Thompsan. Fuck you, and get out of my fucking country.

Nothing to see here guys, its just a slightly more famous troll...
Seriously though, Jack Thompson can say what he wants, he should be treated like any other regular troll - don't take notice of him, and let him rant away in his own little bubble of fake empowerment. He can't do anything to us and we should just look at him in amusement through reinforced glass.

What you do to protect culture?! You mean kinda like the one WE have? I mean, I'm still against Medal of Honor considering they caved, but telling us to go to hell? Could we, as a culture, sue him for libel?
And sending along a cheat code to get us there more quickly? Well, I have wanted to beat Dante's Inferno for a while... Yes Please!
Jack, Jack, Jack... when will you ever learn? if you want to win our hearts, stop talking out your ass. And try PLAYING a game for once. You may have fun. And maybe the mole people from the planet Z'gath will burst out of the Earth's core and claim the surface!

It's cute that he thinks anyone gives a damn about his opinion anymore.
Also, is it me, or does anyone sense some bitterness in that message?

Heh... i regularly volunteer in my community, i am on the GSA at my school, and believe that true evil is to force one's will upon another unwillingly. You know, something like getting something banned from a piece of art because you disagree with it. Mister Thompsan, you don't have to like games. You can hate games all you want. But sir, i like games. They are a pastime, they keep me from being depressed, they give me something to talk about with my friends, and if you want to infringe upon my happiness because of your agenda, then truly, am i a victim or the plaintiff? I think you would know sir.Greg Tito said:
