Jack Thompson is insane.

I've tried my best to ignore him, but this is extremely offensive:

"In a release he stated, 'Certain regional governments in Japan have banned the sale of the Grand Theft Auto games to minors, but Japan's Sony has no problem whatsoever dumping this garbage into American kids' brains. Looks like Pearl Harbor 2 by Sony/Take-Two...'"

Wasn't the reason Sony lost the Beta/VHS war was because porn makers used VHS and Sony wouldn't let them use Betas?

As for PSP porn, it's an open movie format, Sony can't really block select studios because of the content.

 

I too have dismissed him till now. That is a hugely offensive comment as far as I'm concerned. Particularly as it is should be aimed at sony of america really (mostly american) oh and is the big cheese at sony Japanese? (I think not). I think this is hopefully a misquote (or totally made up) to stir things up with the proverbial enemy of gamers (perhaps). Or maybe I'm being optimistic. Why are games going to be censored by this racist ignoramus ?

As for the pornography comment, I think they permit porn in Japan as well! And not as strong as in America (eg, mosaics)

Oh and one final thing, can't you get a pc version of gta (amongst others), not quite sonys fault there, is it. Ah well I'm going back to trying to ignore this trumped up little man.

 

This would not be the first time this man pulled something out of his ass.

 

I know what you mean - it just sounds too good (for all the thompson haters) to be true.

 

well it certainly smells like shat...

 

Why does the Florida Bar allow this racist to continue slandering? Hasn't his law license been revoked yet?

 

I heard it was susspended at one point, and I think he's under review again, but it hasn't been revoked quite yet. However, with clearly racest comments like this, I'd say its not going to be long.

 

This guy has absolutely no idea what he is talking about. He doesnt know shit about video games or the industry. He does know how to be a racist childish ass, though. I wouldnt be surprised if he attacked Final Fantasy 7 as it promotes "stabbing people in the back with long katanas" -_-

He really needs to give up this fight.

 

Uh... Japan has been having meetings recently to get stores to start enforcing the CERO ratings, which they really don't at the moment.

 

Not to mention that FF7 promotes homosexuality by making the main character dressing like woman. :dance:

Off topic: I once heard that two kids on German stabbed all the people on their village by imitatin Sephiroth. Is that true or bulls**t?

 

Jack Thompson should die of a heart attack if he wants to be paid attention to...

 

He's a whore... a media whore.

Honestly, i'm getting tired of our society. Full of dumb and hypocrite people...

 

Woah wtf...ultra thread necro...Jack Thomspon has since being disbarred.

 

I really should pay more attention, but whatever. Didn't realize this was originally from 2005. That's all this guy has done was resurrect old ass threads. It fucks with your mind!

 

I know, I was freaking out. I was thinking: "WTF, I didn't start a Jack Thompson thread."

Then I saw it was from four years ago.
