Florida State Supreme Court to Jack Thompson: No More Lawsuits, EVER

Barry Badrinath

The State Supreme Court of Florida today issued a cease and desist order to everyone’s favorite legal crusader Jack Thompson stripping him of his abilities to file for lawsuits of any kind. In layman’s terms, “Shut the fuck up.” Queue Nelson Munce laugh.

Uber pwnage. Seriously. The Court basically got tired of this guy submitting brief after rambling, incoherent brief on things like a random scene in a video game. The already backed-up legal system cannot deal with frivolous lawsuits and anyone who went to law school and took ethics should know this.

After the jump is the brief that was sent to Jack Thompson. The news for JT does not get much better, his hearing on possible disbarring is still pending. You might see JT charging for ZJ’s in a couple years with Barry Badrinath.

Shooting at NIU Linked to Video Game by Violence by Jack Thompson

There was a tragedy at Northern Illinois University yesterday where a gunman took his own life after cowardly opening fire on his classmates killing 6 and injuring over a dozen more. This is another awful chapter in school violence and people scratch their hands every time this happens. Does blame fall on the individual? No, of course not. Its Counter Strike’s fault. Jack Thompson err Chuckles as we call him here is basically a cross between Dr. Phil and Lisa Simpson. He talks and talks but no one holds his gospel to any validity.

Jack Thompson Files Best Buy Lawsuit; Endorses Ban on Manhunt 2

Our favorite anatomically incorrect seeker of justice is at it again. Chuckles, the pseudonym for the man whom we do not speak of, is filing a lawsuit against Besy Buy reports Gamepolitics. His rationale is that Best Buy is willingly selling mature rated video games to minors via their website because there is no identification checks and balances system. It is common knowledge that a minor cannot possess a credit card and using one is enough proof of age. I do not know who keeps funding this dipshit but I do know that Best Buy has a lot more money. Sometimes the rich do win and in this case, I hope they do.

Another tidbit from the “Department of Redundancy Department”, Chuckles has decided that he does endorse the ban on Manhunt 2, the once AO rated, now Mature, gore fest reports Gamepolitics. Does anyone really give a shit? Since when did not endorsing something matter? I don’t endorse wearing condoms, but does that in any way slight the condom selling world? Does Trojan care that I pull out and pray? Nope. Nor do we care. We will see Little Chuckles clad in a mustache and glasses trying to buy this game and eventually sue Rockstar. Its like the diplomat of some jerk ass country condemning what America does. We hear you dude, but we are not listening.

He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named at it Again…

VoldemortEvery time we say his name, he just gets more power. This is officially the last time you’ll see me say Jack Thompson. From now on, the law buff will be known as Chuckles, because every time he does something, the entire gaming world gets a laugh.

So Chuckles decided to rock out another “sting” operation. He previous sent his son in to a Best Buy to pick up a copy of BioShock. His son isn’t yet 18, which is what he’s trying prove. However, he’s going after 2K Games for the problem instead of Best Buy. 2K Games doesn’t control a retailer’s action. They brand the game as mature and it’s up to the retailers to enforce the sales. The new “sting” operation involves Halo 3.

Chuckles sent his son into a South Florida Target store to buy a copy of Halo 3, which he was able to do on the first try without an ID. Granted, this shouldn’t happen. But again, Chuckles isn’t going after Target, he’s going after Microsoft. Because somehow the gaming industry is responsible for this happening at retailers. Are they also responsible for R-rated movies and CD’s with Parental Advisory stickers being sold to minors as well?

This editor can only hope Chuckles stops his antics and gets put in his place pretty soon.
