Jack Thompson goes after Bioshock
Posted on Monday, 20 August 2007 by Speed, source: Destructiod
Jack Thompson has hit a new low. Destructoid is reporting that the game-hating lawyer has written an angry letter, stating that Take2 is "aggressively marketing" the game during the airing of Smackdown
So, you've got a shooter (in Jack Thompson's mind that immediately gets classified as "violent videogame") and you've got half naked men wrestling on a canvas mat. What's the problem? TV violence is ok, but computerised isn't? Talk about being inconsistent...
Take-Two… is aggressively marketing its newest Mature-rated video game to kids under 17 years of age… On this Friday’s night’s 8 pm Eastern time airing of WWE’s wrestling program “Smackdown,” there were repeated ads for Take-Two/Rockstar Game’s Mature-rated, incredibly violent BioShock…
A check of the demographics of the audience of that program reveals that teens under 17 years of age watch that program in huge numbers…
Remarkably, the video game industry is running ads for games like BioShock on teen-intensive television programs while at the same time its industry-captured “watchdog,” the ESRB, is running a self-congratulatory ad campaign to assure parents that the video game ratings system is working and that the industry can be trusted not to target their kids with these Mature-rated games. It is all a lie, as the BioShock ads prove.
This rampant fraudulent trade practice is precisely what “Big Tobacco” did with its “Joe Camel” and other teen-targeting ads, while at the same time lying to Congress that it was not marketing its adult product to kids.
