Ironically, the first I've ever heard of this "Jack Thomson" fellow was in the other article about B.K's apology for being such a dick to everyone.
Who is this guy? And wtf is with him? He's using a line out of an earnest speech of apology for his own detrimental ends. It's people like this that make me wanna get up off my lazy ass and do something to change the world.

I like keeping Ol' Thompson around. As a Gamer, it makes me feel safe to know this is the extent of my opposition

but seriously though:

[HEADING=2]WHY DO AMERICANS CALL THEM "LEGOS"!?[/HEADING]

It's not plural, y'know! It's Danish for "Play Well" (leg godt)

You don't call 'em Play-Wells!

It's always confused me. Not angered me or bugged me, but baffles the daylights out of me. It's Lego, you build a house with Lego, which consists of Lego bricks

Yeah but Kotick himself is evidently not quite right and is in dire need for some fun, plus he's all about the money so him potentially pouring his soul into the game that increased the price of his stocks is not really a surprise.

Good gravy, hasn't this excuse for a bad lawyer disappeared yet, if it's not an Australian megalomaniac, it's a disbarred lawyer trying to grab the headlines with baseless rubbish...can we send these two a deserted island?

Americans rarely hear the term "Lego brick," to us a Lego brick is a Lego. They're even advertised as Legos if I'm not mistaken, it's just the way things work here.

Play-Wells would actually be pretty sensible to Americans too, turning adjectives into nouns is common in English.

Aww fuck, I like to play with Lego while riding my unicycle.


Does this make me a bad person?

I don't know who to be more angry at, Kotick for being such a big mouthed idiot, or Thompson for being an idiot in general, or Michael atkinson, because he's still alive.
Kotick has said some pretty awful things in the past but I can't really fault anything he's said here.
Jack Thompson is a complete idiot but has as much relevance as a bum on a street holding a "The End is Nigh" card.
I'd say focus your hatred on Atkinson, since that guy is currently doing some actual damage.

So he's trying to use Kotick's own words against him to get games barred?

I... don't even... what I can't even make of it. DX

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.
That's just the thing, Thompson IS an "ex" gamer, he admitted it long ago, although I can't remember which game he used to play. I think is was Halo, but don't quote me on that.

I bet you're right though, if he tried the new COD he'd probably be hooked, but we all know that won't happen, at least not publicly ;)

This guy is just an attention whoring dilletante looking to stay in the spotlight for as long as he can. He's not allowed to practice law anymore so he has to do SOMETHING with his time, right?

Awww what's the matter Thopson? World just about to forget you and your one man crusade against a perfectly good hobby? If this washed up old coot does make it back on to the most bias TV channel the media has to offer I'm going to lose any faith in humanity I have. Honestly why isn't this old bastard in the ground yet?
