Jack Thompson... -.-

That guy pisses me off. I don't see what he has against video games. I mean seriously, someone gets killed by a 12 year old and he sues a random game company. Something is wrong with him. Listen to his latest statement;

"At one point, JT refers to Microsoft's Flight Simulator as a training simulator for the 9/11 terrorists: 'What's next, Paul, a game in which players can practice flying commercial jetliners into the World Trade Towers? Oh, I forgot. Microsoft already did that.' " Quoted from Joystiq.

He'll blame anything that goes wrong on a game. He would sue Pac-man because it's a training simulator for babies to eat small objects and choke themselves. Just a while back, with the game Bully, he was protesting it because "it was a training simulator for bullies". Had he played the game? No. That's not even what it was about. Jack Thompson is a big publicity stunt. He wants attension, he wants money. So he picks on the game industry and causesn an uproar. Did you know that he bought stock from Take Two interactive (the makers of GTA and Bully) just so he could attend the shareholders meeting? He wants to yell at the CEO. ANyway, my point is, games are made because they allow us to do things we coulsn't do in real life. That's why we play them, not because we want to learn how to go hi-jack a car. JT is taking them way too seriously, and even if he thinks games like that could influence the vulnerable minda of children, that's what the ratings are for, so stop bashing our games... Stupid lawyer -_-
