Title: Jack Thompson quote zone
Post by: S-U-P-E-R on October 18, 2005, 12:03:09 PM
I didn't want to clutter up the existing thread, but I also didn't want this hilarity to go unseen. Add your own if you find some good ones! And yeah, he HAS spoken in 3rd person.

Sims 2, the latest version of the Sims video game franchise... contains, according to video game news sites, full frontal nudity, including nipples, penises, labia, and pubic hair.


Quote

Scott, this is your last warning. Don't send me any more emails. You are the person who initialed contacted me


Quote

No, you emailed me. HOnestly, are all of you gamers on drugs, or what?


Quote

People are threatening to kill me. The FBI is all over these.


Quote

Of course they can train you to kill. The games suppress the inhibition to kill, which is why the military uses them for that purpose. Thanks for writing.


Quote

I am not interested in 'gamer's thoughts,' as that constitutes the latest oxymoron.

Screw off


Quote

check into the nearest mental health facility

This is no different than what is in San Andreas, although worse.

Jesus said, "If any of you should cause one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better for you if a millstone were tied around your neck and that you be cast into the uttermost depths of the sea." Jack Thompson is trying to tie that millstone around the violent video game industry's neck, and he needs your help. These people intend to do evil, but evil can be turned away by persistence and prayer.

I look forward to working with your fine Police Department to shut this little extortion factory down and/or arrest some of its employees.

These idiots have been so careless as to post on their www.pennyarcade.com web site what they are doing regarding the harassment of me.

You may be a parent whose child is addicted to video games. You may know someone harmed by someone addicted to violent entertainment who copycatted that violence. The victim needs help and Jack Thompson will help you get it.

For some reason, Jack Thompson reminds me of Fred Phelps, of Westboro Baptist Church fame.

In that they are both certifiable nutjobs.

I love the one where he says to check into a mental facility, when it's quite obvious just who needs admittance...

Heh, I see my sig made it... =P

I'm sure most of you have read it, but if you haven't, you must check out the wikipedia entry for him.  The Janet Reno part and the Sims 2 parts are particularly interesting.

Janet Reno was then and is now a chronic alcoholic, so inebriated at times during office hours that she would pass out at her desk here in Miami.


One of the staff members did an interesting article on Jack; he put a lot of effort into it, you can learn all about the guy's past.

Penny Arcade put out a 'news story' that was wholly false, and the purpose of it, of course, was to generate the sort of Internet-based gamers harassment of me that has caused me to coin the useful phrase 'pixelante.'


He's now one with the fairies... He and Tingle will get along fine!

What 'wholly false' news story is he talking about?

He did actually make the whole modest proposal and then back out of it, didn't he?

"I'm not putting up with this crap. You, who actually have jobs and are normal human beings, are notified however, that I am a moving target, and this email address will not work in an hour or so."

This is all getting very confusing!

"GTA is a Sony/Take-Two game. It was made by Take-Two exclusively for Sony's Playstation 2. Sony has led the planet in the distribution of mainstream porn. I don't have time to document it for you. As for the offensiveness of the Pearl Harbor comment, it's accurate and it's needed. The Japanese have a contempt for our culture which is patent. There [sic] dumping of garbage into our culture is a slow motion version of Pearl Harbor."



I always loved that one.  There is one where he goes from video games to Islam.  That's another goodie.

hit ctrl+F and press 23

the guy tried to remind him that Take 2 is American, and if you're going to blame sony for GTA, you'd have to blame TV manufacturers for allowiVCR manufacturers for violent movies as well.

Jack Thompson gets 10 points for mentioning labia in a sentence.

The rest is just like Don Quixote and his crusade against the windmills. No-one really understands his motivation for doing it. Most people with some intelligence regarding the situation would rather sit back and laugh at the sight.

Why don’t you just molest children directly rather than through Rockstar. It would be more personal that way.
