A million voices cried out at once. Then nothing. Then they cried out again with a resounding Fucccccccccccccccccccccccck you. The war is over. This is how it must have felt when the British surrendered at Yorktown. The always entertaining and perennial pain in the ass to gamers everywhere has finally been dealt the legal equivalent of the Five Pointed Palm Exploding Heart Technique. Jack is out. Out for good in Florida. Where will he go? I think there is a Sonic hiring in Orlando. He also owes like 46 grand in fines. Freedom 1 – Aging Hippy Liberal Douche 0.
Its like Christmas and Super Bowl Sunday all wrapped up into a nice soft taco with a side of irony. The most hated man in video games was recommended to be banned for a decade from any legal proceedings at a disbarment hearing yesterday. After petitioning to read his 4000 word appeal brief, he was denied by the way, JT stormed out of the courthouse. The judge then asked to impose the decade long exile. Appeals will follow but it seems like the legal career of Mr. Thompson is in serious jeopardy.
Was it all worth it, Jack? Did you really hate video games so much that you have ruined a legal career over bitching about games? Some people quit the business because of an injustice such as a death penalty case or some civil rights issue. You are being banned for… video games. I am trying to think of a snide comment to make here, but I think a Nelsom Muntz laugh will do just fine. Oh yeah, a big fuck you as well.
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.
Everyone’s favorite freedom fighter is back and this time he has high hopes. He wants to be the liason between EA and Take 2. Sort of like how Billion dollar investment mogul Warren Buffet helped the Yankees and Alex Rodriguez reach a deal. Trouble is, EA wants absolutely nothing to do with Jack. Here is what they said:
Mr. Thompson,
We have received your letter to EA’s shareholder site. In response to your offer to assist in the proposed acquisition of Take-Two, we would strongly prefer that you not get involved in this matter. EA is a strong supporter of creative freedom for game developers. We feel that your past statements – including false claims about content in our games – make any collaboration with you impossible.
Sincerely,
Mariam Sughayer
Sr. Manager Corporate Communications
Electronic Arts, Inc.
Yeah. Uber pwnage. Not one to be deterred, Jack claims he has a client who was screwed by Take 2 and wants to help them sue Take 2 thus proving how badly EA needs him. This is like a bad episode of Saved by the Bell. Some fat chick wants to get Zack’s attention, so she makes Slater look like a douche bag. I mean, stone washed denim… Anyway, keep in touch for all the muck that is fit to rake because this is only gonna get better.
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.
Gotta love where I live. A gamer from just outside Saratoga Springs, NY (my home) decided it would be prudent to meet a girl while playing online in Halo 3. Ok, you might say. Well, this 20 year old douche drove all the way across the country to Spokane, Washington. When he got there, he told this 15 year old (via text message) that he wanted to rape her and her 6 year old cousin. Keep in mind, this guy is a Christian school teacher.
I love when places I live come up in the news for causing video game crimes. The county wants to monitor online gaming now… yeah, good times. How long before Jack Thompson makes a surprise visit to my hometown?
Thanks to Crowley for sending this in. Or maybe I shouldn’t thank you. Maybe I should move.
This picture is of Attorney Jack Thompson. He is a moron.
He has a documentary coming out regarding (once again) violence in the videogame industry. Now this is nothing new to anyone who has followed this man career, he does this all the time. He’s been demonizing videogames since MK1 and no one has been able to shut him up since. He really, really, really likes to hear himself talk.
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.
Gamers have sat back and received salvo after salvo of anti gaming flack ever since Sub Zero ripped Liu Kang’s spine out when Mortal Kombat hit arcades in 1992. Yet games have prevailed. We have withstood these so called crusaders such as Tipper Gore to Jack Thompson, err Chuckles. You may ask what is the thin line between sanity and chaos? Enter stage right: The ECA.
Anyone who considers themselves a gamer needs to read through this interview. It will open your eyes. Drunk pandas and myself both joined at the Digital Life. 20 dollars a year for a cause that we all care about its an investment in a way. An investment that there will be games in the future. Read on.
From the files of who really gives a shit, our favorite blow hard lawyer, Jack Thompson, is trying in the state of Florida to bring a public nuisance suit against gaming retailers for selling Halo 3. This would mean that any video game retailer is aiding to said nuisance and would be guilty of this misdeamenor. Could this be a death knell is gaming sales? No. He tried the same BS last year against Rockstar’s Bully and was denied all claims. In the court of common sense, I find Jack Thompson guilty on the charge of being a douche bag with nothing else better to do. I wish I had the free time to go on suing people for no reason. I might sue Quiznos because the guy put lettuce on my sandwich after I asked him not to. Sounds ludicrous right? Exactly. Last time I checked, people hated lawyers much more than fictional video game characters.
