No particular order, the first quote caught me enough just to scroll through it...
Some of the latter gamers are on death row, so try to find one out in the civilian population who hasn’t killed someone yet.
Oh, you mean all 21.4 million(or maybe doubled/tipple/etc that number of units sold)?
blah blah age-verification blah blah
Funny, he seems to have picked up a few other retailers I pointed out to him, but he still ignores the "cc is valid form of 'adult' id" and the "you must be 18 to purchase this game" "license" agreement(heck, BestBuy did that for my Persona 3 FES order).
Strauss is even marketing the new Grand Theft Auto IV on World Wrestling Entertainment tv shows seen by millions of kids.
... And so are R rated movies and TV shows(like say CSI), so who gives a ****?
Insert any jokes you feel about wrestling, but I don't think that is very appropriate for them or a good example to use in regards to violence.
He's now dead because a teenaged boy unwittingly trained himself to kill him on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Ignoring the usual training bs, but wtf is the "UN-wittingly" bit?
Maybe we should have in the pass banned kids from playing cops & robbers or cowboys & indians(oh I think someone else asked it on that other blog, and Jack replied to them & deliberately ignored it).
Same can be said about all those comic books with men in tights becoming some vigilante above the law or a morally corrupt individual/criminal trying to force everyone to their personal --sometimes illogical-- beliefs of how society should act/function...
More like the Hitler Youth, I would say.
Not surprised at this with his obsessions and past actions, but such stuff does deserve pointing out....
I sure loved the things Kincyr pointed out, and speaking of the mom bit, I ask the following yet again:
Come on Jack, where is the REAL evidence that you really cares about this violence & kids issue? Keeping it short: I sure haven't heard a squeak from you in regards to solving IN REAL LIFE bullying since that Bully case... But then again, it isn't like you had any interest to actually do something about it until R* came along.
Jack, you are the one with problems regarding morals and professional behavior; why do you think people go out of their way to associate you with "chasing massacres" and are devoting(not in the good way) attention to what you say & do? And before you answer that, keep in mind this it isn't a conspiracy involving the ECA, FBI, the Bar, the US government, the Illuminati, etc....
Posted 07/09/08 at 12:40am Jack Wessels: @PHOENIXZERO: Do you really think that would stop him?
Posted 07/09/08 at 12:29am PHOENIXZERO: Wonder if Jack ever got the memo that attacking a judge, especially the one who presided over your own hearing will only make him look worse.
Posted 07/08/08 at 11:10pm 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.
Posted 07/08/08 at 08:32pm lordlundar: Jack should realize that when you call everyone crazy, then the only crazy one is the you.
Posted 07/08/08 at 06:06pm DarkTetsuya: @GP I just fear for the safety of your fax machine cause you didn't post it :P
Posted 07/08/08 at 06:02pm 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. =(
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:59pm 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.
Posted 07/08/08 at 03:47pm 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

OK that is it, he doesn't need a restraining order, Jack Thompson needs a strait-jacket!
