- Divals, on 05/09/2008, -1/+66As usual... Jack Thompson is an idiot. Why does anyone pay attention to this loser anyway?
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -1/+45Jack Thompson "I don’t communicate with Excrement”
Then how do you explain all your Fox News appearances? - Sludgehammer, on 05/09/2008, -0/+36Jack Thompson is just a attention whore. If he was female he'd be stripping on a web cam every Friday night. But as it is, he issues rants and lawsuits every time he's in danger of dropping out of the limelight. Just give it time, as soon as the attention from GTA4 drops down, he'll do something wacky, like suing the president or throwing buckets of blood on programmers, to get himself noticed again.
- shutaro, on 05/09/2008, -1/+33This just in: Not only is Jack Thompson a big meanie... Inside sources have just confirmed that he also smells like pee pee. Details at eleven.
- davewelsh79, on 05/09/2008, -0/+24I thought this all stemmed back to his youth, when he was raped by a video game in an alley.
- BuckleButt, on 05/09/2008, -0/+22He was asked to go on the Bonus Round on GameTrailers.com, but he turned that down as well.
- aspec, on 05/09/2008, -0/+17A typical Jack Thompson conversation:
Jack: Gamers *insult* *insult* and they *threat to my person*. But I'm working with a Government Agency.
Gamer: But Jack, what about *valid point*. And aren't you in the process of being disbarred for frivolous suits and practices?
Jack: *insult* *insult*, all you *insult* gamers are the same. And what is happening in the court has nothing to do with you *insult* gamers. I'm going to sue you for libel.
Really, stop talking to this guy. He only speaks because someone pays attention. Yes, he gets death threats from the lowest common denominators in gaming, but death threats come to actors and actresses for the parts they play on TV or in movies. You don't see Jack lobbying against television, do you? - Baronvontito1, on 05/09/2008, -0/+16Jack Tompson doesn't know what it's like to have a soul, the prick.
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -0/+15Jack Thompson kicked my dog.
- Speed, on 05/09/2008, -0/+16Any one else want to see Jack Thompson go on the Colbert Report after reading this article?
- dondara, on 05/09/2008, -0/+13Souls are removed in law school to prevent ethical behavior. And part of the bar exam is eating a baby's heart then burning down an orphanage while snorting coke off a whore's ass. Yeah, lawyers are great.
- geobay, on 05/09/2008, -3/+15He still exists today.
Jesus is my gardener. - richmomz, on 05/09/2008, -0/+12Oh the irony - for someone who claims to be against profanity Jack is quite the potty-mouth!
- ChinezePanda, on 05/09/2008, -1/+12Buried because this ***** is no longer worth any of OUR TIME and is only being kept alive by the gamer community.
Guys.. stop it.. If you dont give him a platform he will simply fade away. Same way Brittany Spears or Paris Hilton has in the media. Noone gives a ***** anymore.
MOVING ON - necroprancer, on 05/09/2008, -0/+9We have to pay attention to him, because he keeps getting airtime on outlets like Foxnews. They'll ignore the fact that he's ***** insane as long as he keeps pushing their agenda. And so we'll keep having to put deal with him.
- PopcornDave, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8Have they removed the part about raping a nun and skinning a live puppy?
- morpheus9602, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8Is it me or do games seem to be more fun to play when he complains about them?
It is understandable that he complains so much. He is old and a Christian Conservative.
I do remember reading an article where he said he was on a mission from God to punish gamers. - unicronband, on 05/09/2008, -2/+10Did you not Digg and comment on this story? Are you not "paying attention to this loser" by doing so? Lets just stop digging JT stories. See Trolling 101.
- richmomz, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7Wow, for someone who claims to be against profanity Jack is quite the potty-mouth!
- forzaruler, on 05/09/2008, -1/+8Not that I don't hate Thompson with the heat of a thousand Suns, but looking at the subtext of your headline can you blame him?
- GreyICE, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7Hmm, this is the internet. I think Jack Thompson stripping on a webcam would get a few million hits.
- FearFactory, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6Who the ***** is paying this guys salary???
- dondara, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6Dad's a lawyer, so I know I what I am talking about.
- whiptcracker, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6He responds like that to everyone. Even if he asks you a question and you answer it he'll respond the same. I had a similar response for an interview request, but didn't think Thompson being obnoxious was really newsworthy.
- Matt2k, on 05/09/2008, -3/+9You pranked his cell, after calling him "Notorious" in an email written in a blatantly sarcastic and condescending tone. Then later admitted you weren't going to give him an honest interview anyway, lobbing Colbert-esque questions. And then you document it to try to embarrass him. Yeah. I'm uh, not going to let you interview me either.
I mean, Jack is pretty out there and is an abrasive character, but I guess so are you. - inactive, on 05/09/2008, -1/+7This guy can't get a normal sounding gmail account? Almost as dumb as Thompson himself.
- dondara, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6Yeah, the nun part got removed due to all the revenue the church pedo's were bringing in and the puppy thing might be temporary till a better supply is found. There are as many law students as there are lawyers (I really read that somewhere *shivers*) so the demand is skyrocketing. And puppies don't grow on trees ya know.
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -1/+6I knew a mexican kid in school whose name was spelled like Jesus. Looking back, i wish i had approached him and started telling him that i was sorry for all the sins of my past life.
- Shadowgamers, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5I don't care but I still comment. Does that make me a hypocrite? :[
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5That said, if you ever end up in court...will you represent yourself?
- Andrwmorph, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5The best thing about people like Jack Thompson is how they all have complete certainty that they are correct and they whip out the religion card whenever you oppose them.
- twiztidsinz, on 05/09/2008, -5/+10Jesus irrefutably did exist.
Weather or not he was the son of God is up to you to decide upon, but he was a real person. - theGerhard, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5I heard they just changed it to skinning a nun and raping a puppy.
- forceuser, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5It's too bad that picture has his name spelled wrong.
- Andrwmorph, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Guy in a Mario suit, actually.
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Digg this into the quadruple digits.
- djrbx, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4I hate it when people state "To see the story in its entirety, hit the jump below"
There is no jump!! so stop using that damn line - unicronband, on 05/09/2008, -1/+4No *****. Any time Jack Thompson or Uwe Boll or Ann Coulter or any other IRL troll do something trollish, Diggers fall right into their trap and blabber on about what a douchebag so and so is, while said troll sits back and gets off on millions of people talking about them.
- BuzzFriendly, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3He is not going to interview with anyone that might disagree with him, so that limits his interviews to Fox News, Liberty University and the 700 Club.
- jggr, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3In a just system.. You could. But the system was written by lawyers for lawyers. Not for the people.
- UndyingShadow, on 05/09/2008, -2/+5Jack Thompson is like school in July...No Class
- jabberwocky360, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3My thoughts exactly. If you want to be a professional journalist you are going to have to lose the bathroom humor handle .
- DreKor, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3Jack Thompson really isn't as big an issue as we want him to be. He just fits a character that we want to project onto anti-videogaming culture, and so we dwell on this one individual as a representation of everything we hate. Really, he doesn't have to be such a dick, but now it's just turning into a "you kids get off my lawn" scenario. We goad the man so often that he's going to blow up at anything.
- zizzy, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3If Thompson being obnoxious wasn't newsworthy, then we'd never hear about him again.
- Modestexcuse, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3No, you are here for the humor of it all.
- falafelkiosken, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3Jack Thompson is, in this case, the one how has most in common with excrement
- gametavern, on 05/09/2008, -0/+3He loves the press, when he's in control. If he thinks he wouldn't be, no press.
Communicating with Excrement though... - soundsofreason, on 05/09/2008, -5/+8http://www.atheists.org/christianity/didjesusexist ...
