Jack Thompson's Suing Frenzy
Jack Thompson’s manties are in a bunch again. This time it’s Rockstar’s upcoming game Bully that is causing the creepage. Not too long ago, he was on G4’s Attack of the Show, warning of the ensuing lawsuit. Now he is suing Rockstar, Take-Two and Walmart to stop the release of Bully on October 1st.
From Jack Thompson’s official statement:
“Take-Two has until five o’clock p.m., Eastern time, Monday, August 14, 2006, to inform me in writing that it will forthwith provide me with a copy of Bully so that I and others can analyze it to determine whether it still poses a threat of copycat violence in our schools”
What do you think about this issue? Do violent videogames influence violent behavior in children?

So many good things come from the Sunshine State. Anita Byrant asks, “Florida orange juice, anyone?”
No more influencing then any other violent media. Why not go after them too, Jack?
He has. Remember the messes around 2 Live Crew and Ice-T’s Cop Killer? That was him…
Wow, imagine living your whole life only to ruin the fun of others. Jack Thompson is the definition of a hater.
That’s what happens when you lead a miserable existance. You live to bring others down.
