Scariest Pic You Will See Today (or all week)
Scariest Pic You Will See Today (or all week)
April 29, 2008
Sent to us without explanation by the man himself...The only clue is the subject line of the e-mail, which says, cryptically:
Evidence
UPDATE: Some GP readers have suggested that Miami Jack has a GTA IV "sting" announcement coming up. That's certainly a possibility.
It's either that or he has entered a Niko Bellic look-alike contest...

The wild Thompson holds it's prey captive using a primitive form of the human hand.
As one can see, the ravages of constant court battles and appeals have taken their toll on this once ravenous animal. The unshaven stubble indicates that this specific Thompson has had very little sleep in days. In addition, the floral pattern on the shirt of this Thompson seems to indicate that it is celebrating a victory of some sort.
Of course, wild Thompsons are known to celebrate prematurely, and in many instances will attempt to create a monument for even their slightest successes.
Yeah he does.
Because only old farts from Florida who get fired from their jobs due to incompetence wear tourist shirts......

michigan!
when he went to submit it as "evidence", therefore making it unplayable.
Still waiting for him to be disbarred. *sigh*
The horrible stubble he wears, as evidence that he's not really taking care of himself?
The tacky floral shirt?
Or just more evidence that Don Quixote is secretly Rockstar's biggest fan? He's probably spent more money on their games than anyone else in the country.
I wonder if he knows he's contributing to R* by buying that...
Congrats Jack, you win at losing.
You're what, 0 for 5...6...10? I like those odds.
BTW, thanks for supporting Rockstar sales.
That he's been hit hard by the bar trial and his impending disbarment and now sits in a curtained room drinking stale beer and playing GTAIV, and that he will soon go on a kill crazy rampage in a public place with a shotgun.
Guess what the defense will be afterwards.
TEH GAMES MADE ME DO IT! I TOLD YOU SO!
Evidence, yeah... This does, of course, mean the Jack owns an XBox360...
But, if I was a betting man, my guess would be that the photo "evidence" would be because he got his (or someone else's) kid to purchase the game from a major retailer with relatively little trouble. In which case, file under "Anecdotal Evidence"
>Your exhaustive search has led to the apprehension of "Retail Copy of GTA IV"
>Unfortunately, your warrant was for the arrest of Carmen Sandiego.
>
>The suspect has been released, and you will be demoted to Shameless Publicity Hound. Next time, be more careful, or you will permanently damage the reputation of the Acme Detective Agency.
(And do people in sunnier climbs than mine *actually* wear shirts like that?)
/b
which is complete and total bunk of course, but it is much easier to go after R* than it is Best Buy or Circuit city or whatever other retailer that sells M games to children.
You have to wonder where the outrage is with places that sell R rated movies to kids. I bet a 14 or 15 year old kid could get their hands on the Godfather (similar to GTA) or Eyes Wide Shut (with graphic sex) or the South Park Flick (language) or, worst of all of them IMO any of the Saw movies. Where is the outrage there Jacky?
Didn't he sign an agreement not to harass Take Two with threats of legal action? I don't think he's gonna try to have the game declared a nuisance or anything on that front.
Not, really. Maybe tacky tourists perhaps?
That picture just SCREAMS "Oh exploitable", doesn't it?
Honestly though, I can't wait to see what he's up to this time. So far, all we have is evidence that he's acquired a copy of the game but I can't help the feeling that he's done it in some nefarious way.
My worst fear is that he's deliberately asked an underage kid to attempt to purchase it using Jack's own money to 'prove' that this game is being marketed to kids and can be sold to kids and, therefore, causes kids to commit crime.
I'm afraid not because he might have been successful, but that he might have done this at all. I hope I'm wrong, but it makes sense to me when I consider: What would Jack do?
That or he didn't show ID to get the game and is trying to laud that he was right all along.
I think anyone with any pattern recognition skills at all could have told you that Jack Thompson was going to get bent out of shape over GTA 4.

The photo begs for shops though.
Cashier: "Ok, that will be $60"
JT: "Hah! I now have evidence that you didn't stop my underage son from buying this game!"
If he got his son to buy it, then he just made himself complicit in making a child go against the PEGI guidlines. Good for him. Means nothing over there thanks to your freedom of speech rules, it isn't illegal. It just means that the store he bought it in has a lax policy on age verification.
Also that shirt. How many turkey's had to die? seriously.
We knew he was going to get bent out of shape over it in some way. We're just amused by the picture Jack entitled "Evidence" and speculated on what he could mean by that.
Sort of a "Guess what wacky thing Jacky's done this time!"
The utter...ah, I can't describe it! It just makes me laugh even harder at him.
"I'm retiring and I'm going to enjoy myself."
Really if you ignore the fact that that's Jack Thompson it kinda does give that kind of feel.
Enjoy the game Mr.Thomspon.
You gotta shake things up!
Instead of "Evidence" as the subject line, use "Carrots" or "Juniper."
I mean, c'mon. Jeez!
In fact have you ever considered yourself being a pitchman for GTA? I’m sure Take 2 would love you! The irony value alone would be too good to pass up!
@ Phantom
Yeah, that’s scary alright, especially considering my dad kind of looks and dresses the same way when he’s not at work either (he lives in Florida too).
I’ve kind of wondered what would happen incidentally if my dad met him. They’re roughly the same age. The phrase, “My dad could beat-up your dad” comes to mind. ;)
If he was a real showman he'd get a LiveID, play through the entire game while letting people track his progress on Rockstar SocialClub, and then start spouting out press releases. I'd *actually* be interested in that
Oh and I just realised that Thompson could sign the game then put it up on Ebay and make a bit of money off of it.
Oh Jesus, don't tell me he's gonna try to play it off like his son bought it....Damn.
If his son is still 15 right now then that means Jack Thompson has mastered time control... DUN DUN DUN!
All I need to say
If this don´t explains the "attention whore" term, then nothing will do it.
Let me guess, Mr. Thompson, old 'stinger' did another vigilante half-sting with you when you camped out?
And let it be known that you are far too old to wear a hawaiian shirt in public.
*waits for acusations of sexual harrasment. I wouldn't put it past him*
It's been nothing short of amusing. Thanks R*. So far... it's been worth playing, all except the horrible driving controls.

that explains why the pic has the word "cropped" in the filename
The insinuation that Jack has been stalking Best Buys again to find the ones he can score games at without needing I.D., or the knowledge resulting from realizing his son is now old enough...
You see, that wouldn't escape him. He'd find another child to do the work.
So this 57 year old man is driving around with (?-16?) year old kids and showing them how to score copies of GTA.
Creepy, particularly with that shirt.
and like with M$, the gov won't shut down things that make them more money.
When will Jack learn that he is an idiot who's giving Rockstar free advertising?
Jack Jr: Okay dad, damnit can I drive home now? I have college applications to fill out.
Jack: What a precious little snoogems you are! Do you want papa to buy you a Happy Meal?
Jack Jr: For fucks sake.
Shit man, don't do that to me! That face would scare an unborn child GP!
Game: Possession of a game hardly proves anything. Unreliable.
Gay Porn: Unneeded. Hardly proves anything. Wrong. Obscene.
He did this stunt an hundred times. It's not that an hundred-and-one will work anyway.
He could be HUMPING the box. Or the game disc.
Now THAT would be real scary.
Oh crap.
Thanks for the spoiler. (not)
That it exists, or that he is pissed because he specifically pre-ordered the Special Edition and Best Buy screwed it up?
Unless he means it is related to one of those flawed stings(not even going to bother touching that bit) he is always doing, didn't the last one he gave his consent or something along the lines of "It is OK, Mr. Casher I give my son permission buy that game" when they checked his son's age?
Again, I don't see this proving a darned thing because kids have easier access to R/UN-Rated movies(which Dennis points out that GTA4 is tamer then the stuff allowed in R-Rated movies) and explicit music then games.
Finally, LOL again! I think I will need to "carjack" a Pop-Secret truck or two for this round of JT entertainment... Things would be even more fun if got disbarred this week.
"(I don't think that won me over too
well with the judge...)"
$20 says the "evidence" was acquired by beating a kid upside the head and snatching that copy from his hands.
Interesting :)

Heck, it wouldn't surprise me based one his past lies and deceit if HE actually bought the game but falsely claims his son did.
:: Yawn. ::
If I was as ignorant, bigoted, and as big a liar and deceiver as John Bruce was, I'd throw a few stories of kids from Miami who were killed or driven to suicide by other kids or adults who attend and are mentally molested by his church and by him, since such crimes are cause by exposure to peripheral causla links (such as video games, TV, or terrorist training camps like his religion and church).
While the idea of the FBI, SBI, local cops, and Homeland Security kicking down his door and throwing him to the floor charging him with being the cause of those kids' deaths while confiscating his gun (which he admitted to having in a podcast some time back and admitted to having a callous regard for Human life by admitting he'd proudly kill someone (not "defend" or "use appropriate measures" but "kill" someone)), I am more intelligent than he is. Rest assured, I will not abuse other people's Rights to push my personal, religious, and/or political agendas, unlike John Bruce would and HAS.

No, he has a PS3. :D
Dude, John boy, you need a shave.
id appreciate if you at least put up warnings for us before you showed pics of creepy old men =p
/b
Or did he just click the Send button a little prematurely so the mail got sent before he could put the text in it?
he isn't even aware of the backslashes preceding his quotation marks. what makes you think he knows anything about hacking?
this guy has until AUGUST to even have to step foot back in court. Now what game to better keep you entertained until then? Its not like he was bringing in any money anyway.
..that 9yr olds can bye gta iv (jack obviously)
im just saying.... if ......we never know what will happen.
lol michigan the state with practically no jobs and i unfortunatly live there.
Those are some damn good articles...
this is the biggest stupidity i ever see in my whole life.
En Español:
Juan: Chinga a toda tu reputísima madre, después, te agachas e intentas besarte el ano si es que te alcanzas, luego, te consigues un embudo, calientas todo el aceite que tengas en tu pinche casa te pones el embudo en el ano que acabas de besar (si lo lograste) y te hechas toooodo el aceite hirviendo.
saludos.
have a nice day. :-)
this man's ugly.
I am taking away my son's copy of GTA and making him stick to watching less offensive and "government regulated and approved" entertainment programs like CSI Miami, The Shield, and Family Guy. Thank you Jack Thompson for saving my son from violent and offensive video games! Extreme violence needs to stay where it belongs - ON NATIONAL TELEVISION.
Does he have video proof this time? Or are we just supposed to take his word on it?
Let me know when a *real* crisis of youth happens...
such stupidity offends me.
I mean... that's what I thought when I first saw the picture. He looks so happy he got his copy.
What's so scary about it?
It's not the shirt, it's not the fact that Jack has the game.
I would be scared if he said he actually enjoyed the game, but we all know he's showing "evidence" that he has the game, is going to play it, and pick out every little violent piece of the game that he can take it to the courts to complain about, harass judges halfway to Hell and back, break - oh I dunno, maybe two or more judge fax machines with the endless faxes, flood their e-mails with his complaints, and Jesus Christ why isn't his license revoked already?
Jeez, this guy is boring. What a drag.
classic.
Who would trust that face with their children? I wondered what a person on self-destruct looks like. It's a bit scary.
JT herasses T2 cause he's a shareholder, and his herassments give T2 games a LOT of publicity, even if bad, and boosts their stock doing it...
JT must be making a mint off of this deal!
What, no takers?
Wha...? Seriously... for all his rantings and ravings about how GTA gamers are murder simulators, I can't help but think that if anyone was gonna *snap* and go postal, it'd be jack-IMRIGHTANDYOU'REWRONG-thompson
This man is a such a tease. It's a wasted copy of the game but eh at least he gave money to R*. Even if he try to pick every bits of violence he will need weeks maybe even months to document it all. It means weeks of tranquility for us.
I'll get the ball rolling...
