Tivo Alert: Court TV Looks at Video Game Legislation

Sorry.. I can't think of anything witty to add, after Zigs and Zippy.

@Zachary

She was a lawyer who became a legal analyst who was then hired for the View who then became a "celebrity train wreck" who then became a legal analyst again.

So where does she go after that? Prostitution?

Sorry misread it as CNN. I have my DVR set to record it since I"ll be at work. Have something to look forward to when I get home tonight. ^_^

At this rate she is well on her way to being the next Nancy Grace. All she has to do is get a boyfriend/husband murdered and whore it up for the camera. Oh, and berate her guests into suicide. Well on her way none the less.

@ Zigs

I have very little respect for Senator Yee and his stubbourn refusal to accept that his way is not the best to ensure kids do not have access to inappropriate media, but I have even less respect for someone who would use a racist remark like that.

I can agree with people who would berate him for his policies, his actions and his statements in the past, but to insult him because of his ethnicity? If I were moderating this site I would ban you. In making a comment like that, you conform exactly to the stereotype that the anti-gaming brigade has created, an aggressive, hateful, immature person.

why do we always get these Tivo Alerts the morning of the show? By then we are all at work and can't fire up jack squat, much less the tivo.

@Shoehorn O'Plenty

How exactly is calling Leland Yee's mother a whore and father JT racist? Offensive, and this is definitely isn't the place for such insults, but I wouldn't call it racist.

o, and what Gray17 said

"she will tell you that the video game industry people are afraid to go on the air with me."

Star Jones and Leland Yee sure are industry people all right.

The problem I had with the statement is that he was using the same tactics as Jack Thompson, attack the person, not their message, opinion or deeds.

Remember when Thompson described Rockstar employees as "Scottish sociopaths"? What does their being scottish have to do with their work? I have said in the past that he is stupid for believing that video games make people into killers, and that he is ignorant for refusing to accept other's point of view. What if I said he was stupid and ignorant because he was an American? Or becuase he was white?

I probably am overreacting a little, but I still think it's idiotic to bring a person's ethnicity into a debate regarding a television appearance they will make and their previous actions against video games. It adds nothing to it.

@ Jack Thompson:

"So, the great, self-righteous defenders of freedom of expression, of the marketplace of ideas, and who also say that I am a joke and having nothing to say are such sissy cowards that they won’t go on a cable news program because they are frightened out of their sorry wits that they can’t stand up to the facts of this issue."

So when your psychologist said "He said that he realizes that he may have offended some with his ad hominem writings, and he will be more moderate in his writing style in the future.", this is the result? Seems like you kept quiet long enough for them to perceive you as reasonable, then when you had your positive report you went straight back to being the rude, deluded person we are so familiar with.

@ Jack Thompson

I agree with Zachary here.

You see Jack, the reason why most people don't like you, is not because of your views...its because your an asshole. You supply some decent facts from time to time, but they are instantly forgotten because soon after you post them, you fling an insult.

Why on earth would the industry want to go on t.v. with someone like that? Its like debating with a child. Because once the debate gets good, you start pitching hissy fits and calling people names.

You just have a real unorthodox way of portraying your views.

I mean Janet Reno? Wtf? Or Penny-Arcade? Gabe and Tycho owned your ass with that check they wrote...and you know it. And you only have yourself to blame for that one.

Hmmmm watch this or food network?????

meh what the hell i'll check it out

It's obvious than any show willing to have a clown like Thompson in it is not interested in any real debate and is not worth anyone's time. People who actually get things done have better things to do than getting out of their way to debate a retard. Of course I wouldn't expect someone who sees a massacre as just another opportunity to get his face on TV to be able to even comprehend something like that.

"I was scheduled last night and this morning to be on this Starr Jones segment. I am now not going to be on. Want to know why? …the video game industry people are afraid to go on the air with me."

OMFG! Court TV has surfed the internets!

jt was scheduled until they had the interns hit westlaw and researched his cases then they dropped him like a biohazard container

Who cares? This will be another pointless debate where nothing gets solved.

Jack is just like Free Waterfall Jr. on the Futurama episode "The Problem With Popplers": always muttering 'Shut up' or, in Jack's case, 'Uh' when other people are speaking.
