- crxnamja, on 06/02/2008, -3/+59i dont know why politicians can't just stick to wasting money on the war in iraq.
- sexualwasabi, on 06/02/2008, -0/+56I hate FOX News with a passion btw, they reported that the VTech killer was an obsessed first person shooter gamer and that led him to be come an efficient killer during the VTech shootings last year. Of course they don't mentioned the fact that his family AND roommates both reported that he never played games.
Also and I need to find this one video again, but studies have shown that people that play violent games are usually less likely to commit violent crimes. And people that do commit violent crimes usually do not own or play games. - Makaveli5022, on 06/03/2008, -1/+43Blaming video games is retarded and a copout. Those kids are ***** up because their parents.
- jp44, on 06/03/2008, -0/+42what's next, blame Pacman for obesity?
- wutname1, on 06/02/2008, -5/+39Hmmm
CNN, CNN, FOX, abc, FOX, nbc, FOX, nbc, FOX
other thought why dont they ever mention RTS games or my favorite "If video games affected us as people we would all be running around in dark rooms running from ghosts eating apples" - ButchersBoy, on 06/03/2008, -0/+32We don't see much of that Jack Thompson guy in the UK, but he seems like a right prick.
- Neticule, on 06/03/2008, -0/+27"Games can literally draw the player into another world"
Reporters REALLY need to stop using the word literally, when in fact, its not literal. ARRRGH
I dont know why I picked that out of the whole video, the whole damn video pissed me off, made me want to go kill someone in a video game. - ahawks, on 06/03/2008, -0/+26Dugg just for John Stewart's clip at the end.
Obviously the whole "attack on gaming" thing is retarded, but they do have one single good point: If a publisher has labeled a game as mature or put an age limit on it, it shouldn't be sold to people under that limit. Yeah, I love GTA4, but I'm 27, not 10. - theMurdocVolta, on 06/03/2008, -0/+25cause this was his thought pattern at the time.
EVIL, EVIL, EVIL, i enjoy desperate housewives!, EVIL, will and grace is my FAV!, EVIL, and Heros!, EVIL - Merendino, on 06/03/2008, -5/+30I ***** love trash talking in a game. Thats half the fun really. I do though, like to make sure that others know I'm kidding. Its more fun to just spout the craziest ***** that comes to your head while killing someone, rather than just merely killing them.
Example: "You want some ***** chocolate cake with that bullet to the face? Yeah goes good with my lumberjack smile don't it?!" - thebza451, on 06/03/2008, -2/+26why did you put abc and nbc in lowercase?
- UberNick, on 06/03/2008, -0/+21Liar! There's no way you beat Battletoads in 7 hours.
- Branchex, on 06/03/2008, -0/+21Be afraid of what you don't understand to the point of irrationality and then try to kill it before you learn what it really is, always works. Can't wait till we start that war with friendly aliens that come to visit.
- tcpip4lyfe, on 06/03/2008, -1/+20Maple Story? Really?
- malvado, on 06/03/2008, -1/+20John Stewart - FTW!!
- Lousansano, on 06/03/2008, -0/+18I love it how they seriously introduce him like that without laughing. Takes skill
- bananaspiders, on 06/03/2008, -0/+17I loved Jack Thompsons title... "School Shooting Expert" LOL
How many has he done to become one?
Hey Jack... ***** you. - Dbeneath, on 06/03/2008, -2/+19NUMBER 10!!!
(quiet clip)
NUMBER 9!!1one!!
(quieter clip)
etc... - FriskDown, on 06/03/2008, -0/+16Shooting a gun on a video game is very different from shooting a real one. Why don't they report that?
- inactive, on 06/03/2008, -2/+16Last time I checked, Maple Story was completely free to play.
...
***** the media. - Makkiux, on 06/03/2008, -0/+14Old people hate video games, because its a new form of media
Get over it, its not new - pisseddog, on 06/03/2008, -1/+15Jack Thompson - School Shooting expert. HAHAHA
- theMurdocVolta, on 06/03/2008, -0/+13or stick to wasting money on pink suits and purple ties.
Seriously, who the ***** dressed Jack Thompson for that interview, Willy Wonka? - Raptor007, on 06/03/2008, -0/+12He uses blatant lies to push his agenda.
- CurlyMike139125, on 06/03/2008, -0/+12If "right prick" is UKspeak for "ignorant, loudmouthed jerk", then you are absolutely correct.
- FriskDown, on 06/03/2008, -1/+13Holy *****! The volume control on that video sucked. Boooo, editor!
- HellCrafters, on 06/03/2008, -7/+18Worst Audio editing EVER!!!
***** THING SUCKS!!! - insertAliasHere, on 06/03/2008, -0/+11^ This is why we can't have nice things.
- NiGHTSChao, on 06/03/2008, -1/+12at 2:52, what the ***** is up with Jack Thompson's mustache and pink suit??!?
- protogenxl, on 06/03/2008, -0/+10Pacman does make me want to eat a big bowl of Kix.
- duggtodeath, on 06/03/2008, -3/+13I am Jack's raging bile.
- malvado, on 06/03/2008, -4/+13you're the reason i mute.
- JimmyDelicious, on 06/03/2008, -2/+11I was about to watch this, then I thought, "Why in the ***** would I want to get really pissed off and angry at the American Media in the middle of a beautiful Tuesday afternoon here in Guelph Ontario," So thanks for the upload, but ***** it, I like smiling.
- wolfofwar, on 06/03/2008, -0/+9Urge to kill...rising...
- junaru, on 06/03/2008, -0/+8Makes me wonder if with age we'll become such ***** too :/
- josephbloseph, on 06/03/2008, -0/+8It detracts from real titles, like Bill Nye - Science Guy
- Monkeydew06, on 06/03/2008, -0/+8These never ending games are so addicting and can ruin your life!
Pacman! Combat! Centipede! They must be stopped! - josephbloseph, on 06/03/2008, -0/+8But in addition to being kid-tested, Kix are mother-approved
- lennybird, on 06/03/2008, -0/+7I've played and pretty much beat GTA3 at the age of 12 I believe: perhaps younger... I'm not racist in any way, barely swear, mind my manners and don't hunt.... Yeah GTA3 ruined me.
video games aren't catalysts for creating murderers. Something far more troubling happened to them in their lives - beyond video games. - deepcoiler, on 06/03/2008, -1/+8why has nobody said it yet? ***** JACK THOMPSON
- hexydes, on 06/03/2008, -0/+7Do you want him? Seriously, we'll give him to you, for free! Hell, we'll throw in Tom Cruise and Oprah as well!
- d4ktu, on 06/03/2008, -1/+7dugg for daily show clip at the end
- Neticule, on 06/03/2008, -0/+6QUICK! Jump into your favorite FPS, its the only way to safely resolve your urges to kill!
- Identity4, on 06/03/2008, -0/+6If video games had any affect on us, we would all be running around dark rooms and popping pills to the tune of minimalist electronic music...
- Stupidumb, on 06/03/2008, -0/+6Video Games: Source of entertainment.
Parents: Life givers. Caretakers. Example setters. They raise the children. Teach right from wrong. - PickledJesus, on 06/03/2008, -3/+8Why is everyone so opposed to Jack Thompson on the age rating issue? Of couse he's an idiot and a complete ban is ridiculous but I don't see anything wrong with legally enforced age ratings, here in the UK BBFC ratings are law, just like films. Then the parents can see what their kids are playing much more easily as they usually have to buy it.
- gr3yn3t, on 06/03/2008, -0/+5you forgot kids that listen to collective soul on their ipods.
- Monkeydew06, on 06/03/2008, -1/+6Do you not know the meaning of the word "similar?"
- StandardsDT, on 06/03/2008, -0/+5Not only does he use blatant lies but a rating system is already in place. The problem is though that parents don't want to take the time to understand the ratings and to follow them. The Mature Rating clearly states 17 or older, it's just like a Rated R rating for a movie. So instead of doing the responsible thing they just go out and buy these games for their children so they can shut them up by keeping them glued to a screen. However at the same time they complain about how their children are always playing video games and are never outside.
At this point it's just best to ignore Jack Thompson and everyone else who lie about video games. The following excerpt from an article by Richard Bartle (Bartle wrote MUD1 or is basically the father of MMO's.) says it best:
"So we've won: accept it. Huff and puff if you must, but your audience grows smaller by the day. Your views are mortally wounded, and soon they will be dead. Games are mainstream. Drown, or learn to swim."
