Jack Thompson

mm, I love this guy and his comments. He says we gamers are the idiots, yet he cant speak about gamers without resorting to name calling:

"Whom did CNN contact for a comment about Blitz: The League? They didn't contact Doug Lowenstein. They didn't contact the drooling cretins at Penny Arcade. They didn't even contact a single gamer, I guess because they wanted the truth.

They contacted Jack Thompson. Why? Because the "don't confuse me with the facts" gaming community (what's next, the marijuana community?) has nothing rational to say about the marketing of mature games to kids.

The purpose of the law in California is to say this: Parents, it is your job to make the decision on these games. We will not allow retailers to sell adult games to kids behind their parents' backs.

Wise up, gamers. The war was lost by you scofflaws a very long time ago. Even liberal CNN is on my side. Fondly, Jack Thompson

PS: Put down the controller and get a life!"

I already have a life Jackie boy, thank you very much. I think your the one who needs to get one.

Oh and your truth about Blitz was a big fat lie. The NFL didn't refuse to give a license to Midway, they have an exclusive deal with another publisher, a deal that has upset Midway, Microsoft and SEGA.

Oh, i do agree that the selling of aldut games to minors needs to be restrticed, maybe a ssytem like in the UK would work. If the game is rated 15+ or 18+ you have to show proof that you are that age, or else its no sale.

Anyway, if you do happen to come across my blog Jack, then please, comemnt away. Ill be glad to calmly talk this over with you.
