If you listen to the Benny Hill theme tune while reading the article, you feel better. And Jack Tompson is like the villians in Captain Planet. They always have some half arsed plan, it goes wrong and they stand around like morons going 'I'll get you Captain Planet!'. Except it's Captain Utah legislature, but that doesnt sound as good.
How did this man ever become a lawyer? Did it involve collecting tokens from cereal boxes?
Seriously though, I do feel a lot of pity for him. Clearly the frustration of being rejected and refuted is getting to him in a major way and...well he seems to have developed a mental illness, right? He doesn't need to be killed, like a lot of people are suggesting, he just needs to stop. For his own sake as much as ours.

I remember hearing an old quote once...
"It is better to have people think you are an idiot, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
I've never seen it truer than anytime Jacko's involved with anything.

It would look like the Milkman Conspiracy from Psychonauts, crossed with Silent Hill! It would sell millions! MILLIONS!Psychosocial said:
I'm one of those red-blooded Mormon-types who lives in Utah. And I think Thompson is an absolute jackass who should get cast into Outer-Darkness. You heard me.
Even if that were constitutional, which it isn't, that would be what is called a Bad Thing. It's always better to have it be an industry policy, because otherwise we start down the slippery slope of censorship.scarbunny said:

Anyway, much as I hate this guy, he's done us a huge favor: he's removed all credibility from the opposition of video games.
You know, I can somehow see this all ending with a court slapping a universal restraining order on Thompson requiring him to keep away from and not contact any member of the human race for the rest of his natural life. He is nothing more than a waste of oxygen and even his so-called allies in the cause of controlling mature games can now see him for the complete and utter piece of braindead garbage that he is. Even if he does get his supposed challenge into a court of law, any decent judge (or even most stupid ones) would take one look at him, burst out laughing and have the bailiff throw him out on his ass with orders never to return.
Since they'll be paying the legal fees of the ESA, ESRB and anyone else that sues to kill the law.dthree said:
And just in his e-mail, he broke at least one law: intimidation of a public official.
This one here is just a bonus.

Too bad it isn't a felony.
