Swing and a Miss!

Now that it seems the legal system is putting a few choke collars on Mr. Jack Thompson here in the US, doesn't it seem odd that Britain seems to be unleashing their Jack Clone?

Granted, he was immediately shot down. [http://gaygamer.net/2008/03/british_mp_video_games_let_you.html]

So what do you all think? I just wanted to share this link, so now I want you all to share your opinions!

Does he honestly think that a video game where you get to rape people would even be considered by any publisher, let alone actaully be advertised to children?

If this was Fox news, the guy that corrected him would have his microphone cut.

The power to make up whatever you want and then state it as truth is quite remarkable. I doubt Sony will ever publish "Leet Haxxor's GTA Rape-a-thon", the media would be sent into an uproar when one of their crazy prophecies comes true.

I didn't play it, but didn't The Witcher allow you to rape someone? I'm aware there was lots of consensual sex as well, but I thought someone mentioned a rape bit.

*Sigh* If only all haters were nipped in the bud like this.

(Dreams of Jack Thompson free world, where Video games hang in art galleries and puppies ride unicorns).

I love it when people try and kick off about something having clearly done no reasearch whatsoever.

"Video games are bad! They let you... um... Rape people!"
"Erm, can you back this up at all? Y'know, with evidence?"
"Well, no."

I read something last week that our old friend Jack Thompson was lashing out at the Sims for having nudity in it (conveniently ignoring the fact that even under the pixels there's nothing there) and claimed that pedophiles could use the game to reherse their kiddy-fiddling antics and I thought "Yes, very good Jack, but that's not actually in any way true though, is it?"

It says a lot about the man when his arguments are so pitiful he has to fall back on the old tradition of Making Shit Up.

It looks like our hero is a dreamer; those 'PSP's or whatever' are quite evil.

I love this guy. He's an ignorent dick that should shoot himself before he brainwashes people. I love him because he's the sterotypical game-basher misinformed moron.

Remember kids, stereotypes have to fit at least one person.

I'm guessing he was so morally outraged that he forgot to do his research.

Then he might've realized these games don't exist. And if they do, they are likely so far out of the mainstream will won't see them until we're playing the Playstation 7.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

Good ol' Jackie's well aware of the Sims. He was rambling on at one point about being able to remove clothes as well as the censoring blurs. It would be interesting to find the outcome if he were ever to come across a Barbie doll.

 

[John Galt]

Just imagine if he ever found a replica of Venus de Milo, he'd implode!

 

[Talisker]

Wow.... I really can't believe that he couldn't even name a console, "Those things that they play". He should have just worn a sandwich board saying, "I have no idea what I'm talking about."

This man is an idiot with a capital I, as the infinite majority of Britains politicians are.

Something tells me it's not limited to Britain politicians, as the first thing I thought of when I read this article was, "Ha! See? Real life proof that the idiots aren't only in America!"

I then went on to wonder where he got his 'facts' from, because surely he didn't do his own research. So now I wonder if he has the most sadistic team of employees ever to feed him information. Which led to the image of him in his office going, "Are you guys sure this is real? This sounds kind of far fetched..." and they're going, "Oh yeah! Totally real! My kid had one of those PSP things and I took it away and burned it because it was letting him rape children."

I was going to read the article, but once I saw his face I just could not stop laughing. So I'm just gonna pretend that I know what all of you are talking about and agree that this guy is a tool.
