Jack Thompson to Gamers "Get a life"

QUOTE
Jack Thompson was on CNN last night - briefly - in a slam piece on Midway's Blitz: The League. Afterward, in his usual conciliatory tone, he posted about the experience here on GamePolitics:

"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!"

UPDATE: Jack just added a comment: "Jack Thompson thanks you for watching, and not seeing anyone other than me in the piece. I didn't see Penny Aracade personnel there, nor any drooling gamers. Just little old me. Why? Because CNN knows what I'm talking about. This was my 14th appearance on CNN. Glad to be of service in annoying the pixelante pukes. "


Notice the well orchestrated digs at Penny Arcade through out.

Oh, Jacky Boy, this has got to stop.... w00t.gif

why is he talking about gamers like that? he's obviously one of them, or he wouldn't have wanted a game made.
this guy needs to chill out and pay up. he put it out there that if someone made a game tailored to his specifications, he would give them $10,000. since he hasn't, people have gotten mad. understandably mad.
all that Penny Arcade is asking is the same thing that was in Jerry Maguire- "Show me the money!!"

lol another hypocriticle comment by him, first he asks for a violent game to be made, and now he tells us gamers to get a life when he has nothing better to do than go around blaming video games for all the crimes kids commited. He should relize his through, his running out of allies and now his got nothing to say but put down gamers (which he has before so not to much has changed)

Jesus Christ, when will this douche bag learn to shut up and admit he's wrong? Yeah, "get a life" he says. Yeah dude, you should really be talking! This is one person I would actually murder if I ever saw him. He is amongst my least favorite people in the world.

Insulting people and calling them names, is how you can tell he is a professional. thumbsup.gif It does surprise me that CNN "didn't even contact a single gamer" to talk about a video game. I mean, why would anyone want to talk to someone who actually played the game?
I think Jack Thompson wants to censor many games simply by making them rated-AO, and then stores can no longer sell them. Also, there is NOTHING in Killer 7 and GTA:San Andreas that wouldn't be shown in an R-rated movie, or even a show like CSI.

oh man, I hate this guy so much. I can't believe how angry he makes me. everytime I hear something about this lunatic I actually get really angry. I just want to yell at him and tell him about how I and millions of people like me have played almost every kind of violent game made and yet have turned out completely normal, sane, and just as calm and placid as people who arent into gaming at all. I know most people think he's crazy, but what worries me is if people start believing him and ridiculous censorship starts happening...if theres one thing I hate more than anything else, its other people deciding what i can and can't do.

I'll tell you what makes people violent...tossers like Jack Thompson.

Creepy_Steve
Jack needs to be drugged and put in an asylum, hospital for the mentally ill.
This is stupid beyond words, doesn't he relize that people see him as a flippin' joke?
Nobody takes him serious anymore, I secretly think CNN just keeps airing him:

A. Because he gives them money.
B. They also see him as a joke and just put him on for a laugh
C. A family member of his works at CNN
D. CNN has lost it's mind
E. People really are that stupid and really take him seriously.
F. He just keeps coming back even if he's not invited and CNN just feels sorry for the man so they give him 2 minutes of airtime.

And those cheap shots at Penny Arcade...God help this man he's so pathetic.
It's a damn i-net cartoon for Gods sake!
By ripping on them he's just showing what a duche he really is and what he really stands for.

Also his message is so extremely bogus and actually dangerous.
He's actually saying "Parents it's not your fault your kid is a psycotic piece o'crap who skins cats for fun. No it's the fault of videogame, violent movies, Music and everything else."

So it's not because the parents raised there kid wrong no it's because of GTA SA or what ever game.

This is one of those people that give criminals loopwholes to escape their punishment.
Killed some one with a paperclip and some homemade acid? No problem blame the newest GTA!

God why do you make stupid people like this?
Is it just for our amusement or is there a deeper meaning to them?

I don't think yelling at him and telling him video games don't make you aggressive is a good idea. It'll just urge him on.

The main reason is that he causes controversy, and that is always good for television. It's the same reason why Oprah and Dr. Phil make people cry.

If you've been to the P-A site, he sent the e-mail first. tongue.gif P-A had nothing to do even with the topic, and he calls them idiots but they aren't the ones going around calling people names.

The same thing happened in the 50's with comic books. Murderers were found to have heavily read comics, and as a result they were blamed. However, most kids read comics so, of course kids who got into trouble had read them too.
Some kids and teens who have killed played video games, but only because most kids and teens play video games.

Tis just a pathetic old man who still believes he should be the centre of attention.To anyone who is slightly educated he is nothing more than a joke!

lolololololololololol...lol

No, just kidding, i think that all that poor man wants is attention, and he found a way to get ppl attention by picking on games, he doesn't want to recognize that he's becoming old and useless, he just wants to prove himself and doesn't wants to end up alone in a home or asylum.
Poor sad old man...

What the FU@^ IS HIS PROBLEM!?!?

I REALLY HATE HIM SOOOO MUCH THAT I ACTUALLY WISH HIM DEAD!!!!!! angry.gif

Oh wait he's gonna find this and say "he only wants me dead because he plays violent video games"....


I HATE HIIIIIIIIMMMM!!!!!!!!!! angry.gif

And on the comic book thing I read JTHM so I must be a crazy lunatic lol...


BUT I STILL HATE MR.ASS-WIPE THOMPSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He needs to be locked in an assylum with a lunatic who doesnt have his straight jacket on!!!!!!!!!!! angry.gif angry.gif
Spoonfed Tribe
There are no words in the human dictionary that would describe my deep, insane hate towards this man. Even, "f*** him" couldn't sum it up... Someday everything he says about gamers will come back to haunt him, probably when he's walking down a Miami street with a gun to his back. Then again, I don't want Thompson dead, I want him to be locked up all of his life, and I want him to burn for all of eternity afterwords. He claims to be an advocate of 'free speech' but yet censors everyone and shuts down anything that gets in his way for his own f***ing reasons. IMO he's a selfish son of a b**** in it for the money and ONLY the money. He doesn't care what kids see on games, and 99/100 times he has the story the f*** wrong.

Down with Thompson.

No, that would just be cruel to the hippos. Seriously, I think someone should censor everything he says. Next time he's on CNN, it would be great if someone just bleeped out every word that he speaks. tongue.gif

Mr. Vort, I'm all for anti-Jack-ness, but I suggest you watch the language. thumbsup.gif
Spoonfed Tribe
I do agree with Jack-ass on one thing: ESRB

The ESRB isn't a very effective system.. Have any of you played the M Rated game BMX XXX and compared it to Hot Coffee? BMX XXX shows alot more X Rated sh**... Like the Boobs, and cut scenes... But they rated it M. A travesty IMO...
Unforgiven
i can think of a few instances where extremely violent video games have saved some people from being SERIOUSLY hurt.

It all comes down to anger-managment. if you can't control your anger well, take it out on something that doesn't have any feeling - such as the mafia guys in GTA3 - Liberty City.

And this dumb attorney can stop blaming games for murderous actions. he is a fool who doesn't understand human actions or reactions.
