Jack Thompson Calls Kotick Out on Modern Warfare Comment

[MortalForNow]

Everytime someone like this opens their mouth, they expose more of their sad, meaningless lives. For someone that could use his spare time for speaking against actual violence or crime, he spends his time attacking the virtual representations of these actions in, of all things, video games.

Jack should just realize that what he's doing is pointless and spend his time doing something much more constructive for the benefit of society.

Jack Thompson (and Michael Atkinson) would not exist in a perfect world...

 

[Indecizion]

Why wont he just die? i mean seriously he must know by now that the world is laughing at him, i mean hell for the alst 5 years theyve stopped doing it behind his back and started doing it to his face and yet he doesnt seem to get it. least hes occasionaly good for a laugh!
Okay lets do the jack thompson thing and make up nonsense and accuse people:

do you know whats worse for todays youth than violent video games? stupididty and in the doses that Thompson has it can be infectious, therefore we must quarentine him from society in order to protect the children! And that all of his supporters have obviously been infected too far for quarentine to be assured and must there fore be put down. im sure i could find a number of doctors and lawyers/politicians who would back up my claims before he finds ones to back up his

Hey Jack, long time no see! I see you're still as much of a moron as ever! Good to see you again buddy! Just so you know I'll be there when you end up going to court again after making a total idiot out of your self (again). Oh and you should also do something about Atkinson, he's trying to steal your thunder.

I gotta admit I did an inner first pump when I read this. I mean, Jack Thompson is back. Am I the only one who kind of missed the guy? He's like Michael Atkinson except he can't do any real damage so I don't have to get mad. Just amused.

 

[Dirty Apple]

I can understand if you think that videogames have a smaller place in your child's life, but to try and demonize them to the greater populace seems a terrible waste of time. When Thompson, and Atkinson for that matter, were teenagers, did they have the same feelings towards their generation's chosen passtimes? It all seems so hypocritical and self-serving.

 

[Canid117]

Whats it feel like to lose your job because your an incompetent prick Jack?

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I think this man is in need of another verbal asskicking courtesy of Adam Sessler.

I'm gonna have to agree there. His little stunts are hilarious, and you're right: No one takes him seriously, so he's no danger to gaming at all. If he were actually successful, that would be a different story. For now, let us all be pleasantly amused by his harmless stupidity.

 

[Silk_Sk]

Really, everyone should be HAPPY about this. I'm serious, this is like a WWE champion comeback without the makeup. Only idiots take it seriously. For the rest of us it's juvenile, rigged, and horribly amusing. I hope JT is here to stay for a while or the whole video game issue would get depressing again.

Wait a second here. Did our old friend Jack said:

Here is a full-grown adult (at least in chronological terms) admitting just the opposite."

Well Jack, you trolled a multi-billion industry so much that you cannot even practice law in Florida anymore and that guy is at the head of the biggest video game publisher in the world. I don't think you are in any position to call this man childish.

Especially since Jack Thompson kept claiming that he was beyond Florida's legal system, which I'm pretty sure is the most childish thing a lawyer could do at his own disbarrment hearing.

 

[SonicKoala]

What a compelling argument he has there - seriously, this man will grasp for any straw he sees; it doesn't even need to be a straw, really. Apparently a half-straw, or a straw which isn't even a straw, will do.

 

[Radelaide]

Jack Thompson vs Michael Atkinson...
Place your bets.
OT: He's just doing it for attention. He's defending his reputation from Atkinson stealing it.
And I'd make a joke about cup stacking if my parents hadn't bought me a set of them for Christmas one year...

Cage match: 2 men enter, no man leaves.

What happened to this guy to make him hate games? Did his Atari touch him at night?

 

[Soren91]

It sounds to me like Kotick was just saying he has an addictive personality for something like MW2. Granted, Thompson will take any chance he can to twist words so they fit his crazy needs.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

oh old people. They don't understand our ways

 

[saregos]

Videogame hater Jack Thompson is a nobody, a nothing even, with no value to his public presence on the planet humanity currently resides on other than to prove how awful some people are.

Don't sit on the fence Tom, tell us how you really feel.

Old news is old. Beaten by your forum again!

As has been said MANY times, don't troll the newsroom. They do a lot more editing and fact checking than simple forum posts.

And as I will say many times again it seems, beaten by your forum is beaten by your forum.

And apparently trolling GP just doesn't provide enough entertainment anymore.

 

[Somethingfake]

Y'now what, Sooner or later Jack Thompson will sit down & play Call of Duty.

On that Day, He will become a Gamer, And we will all cry with laughter as he screams obsenities at the angry 13 year old.

Who's saying he doesn't do that already? You become what you hate after all.

I'm sure his next step will be to tell the world that "God" told him to destroy all videogames, and it is now his life's mission.

 

[Eggsnham]

It's just Thompson being a douche. Nothing unusual.

I have this feeling he already said that, or at least implied it, at some point.
