@ Col. Finn, Kneejerks, etc.

I don't have the time or energy to get into this right now, but allow me to make a brief counterpoint.

You're right in that there is a group of vocal, American posters here who will jump on a bandwagon to bash anything cast in a negative light in a GP article, to rally blindly like sheep to the "omg tehy're cenz0ring mai gamz!" battle cry.

There is also a group of more reasoned, American posters who actually put some logic behind their arguments when attacking or calling into question such things, like the BBFC in this case. Just because we have the former group agreeing with us for the wrong reasons, doesn't automatically make us wrong as well.

There's nothing so dangerous to a legitimate cause as a pack of fools agreeing with it.

Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : Dennis you should post that story about JT insulting Judge Tunis. There might be more you could find that Kotaku missed.

lordlundar: Jack should realize that when you call everyone crazy, then the only crazy one is the you.

DarkTetsuya: @GP I just fear for the safety of your fax machine cause you didn't post it :P

PHOENIXZERO: @Krono Yeah, that's probably where it came from. Don't remember if a source was mentioned. Other than it being called a "story" or "study".
Posted 07/08/08 at 06:02pm
PHOENIXZERO: Because I was bored and channel surfing. =(

GRIZZAM PRIME: PHEONIXZERO, Why the hell are you watching CNN's sodomy butt baby(HLN)?
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:53pm
Krono: @PHOENIXZERO: Would that be the AP story about how schools should teach 11+ year old how to avoid abusive datings relationships?
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:34pm
PHOENIXZERO: Oh joy, new subject and they bring out Cooper Lawrence who takes a mention about videogames. It's a segment called "Sex Normal for 11-Year-Olds" having to do more so with mental and physical abuse in "relationships" of 11-14 year olds and not sex. >_<
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:28pm
PHOENIXZERO: Certainly a stupid segment with their "adolescent psychologist" and a game is different than a movie. Two callers, underwhelming. >_>
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:24pm
PHOENIXZERO: CNN has wanted to be Fox Jr since Fox started spanking them in the ratings and Turner was removed from power.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:11pm
PHOENIXZERO: UGH, they have the CT AG on there... He sounds like Jack.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:09pm
PHOENIXZERO: >_> You can call in 1-800-TELL-HLN.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:09pm
PHOENIXZERO: CNN HLN is doing a segment on Beer Pong with their other "morality" blowhard Mike Galanos.

Jabrwock: This just in! Jack insults someone. News@11
Posted 07/08/08 at 03:44pm
mogbert: I think we can skip that story, we can't cover JT every time he insults someone, we would run out of server space...
Posted 07/08/08 at 03:43pm
gamepolitics: nah, intentionally didn't post that... it's just a publicity grab... I only have so much JT tolerance, save 4 more relevant news
Posted 07/08/08 at 02:57pm
Xlorep DarkHelm: Dennis doesn't post every little tidbit of information about Whacky-Jacky.
Posted 07/08/08 at 02:52pm
DarkTetsuya: freak4all: I just posted that ... but yeah they did
Posted 07/08/08 at 01:41pm
Freak4all: kotaku beat GP to WackoJack news? http://kotaku.com/5022949/thompson-calls-judge-raving-wild-woman-unhinged

Dark Sovereign: Yes, sadly, that does hold true in many cases.
