Take-Two... is aggressively marketing its newest Mature-rated video game to kids under 17 years of age... On this Friday's night's 8 pm Eastern time airing of WWE's wrestling program "Smackdown," there were repeated ads for Take-Two/Rockstar Game's Mature-rated, incredibly violent BioShock ... This rampant fraudulent trade practice is precisely what 'Big Tobacco' did with its 'Joe Camel' and other teen-targeting ads, while at the same time lying to Congress that it was not marketing its adult product to kids.
Wow, you let your 3yr old kids watch a family show about grown men in underwear beat the cr@p out of each other only to have you children be violated by M rated game ads. What is this world coming to.......

In any case, he is fun to have around and his lawsuits are invariably dismissed so he isn't really any threat.

Seriously... a part of me wishes that poor boy to become ultra violent and mentally unstable just because he wouldn't be able to blame Take Two, Rockstar, or violent video games. It would be his own fault for using his own son for his personal gain and most likely keeping him out of touch with the real world.
He could lie and say his son snuck around playing violent games behind his back, but that would still be his fault for not rightly parenting his son, hopefully showing the world that they need to be keeping an eye on their damn kids, not the government.
This might sound awful but i'll say it anyway:
i wouldn't mind if poor jt- junior went on a killing spree claiming to be doing Gods work by snuffing out people that play violent games. Then the blame could only be traced back to Jack for letting him know nothing but the bible, with its portrayals of violence, ultimately disconnecting him from the outside world (as i assume he does)

Trust me, he'd find a way to blame video games.
If anything, his son will end up more messed up than normal kids. Just like Rod and Tod Flanders.
