Thompson going after Take2... again

Posted on Monday, 12 March 2007 by Speed, source: Joystiq

Take2 is worrying about their board and CEO getting kicked out by their shareholders in order for them to sell the company afterwards, but it seems Jack Thompson couldn't care less about that.

Everyone's favorite lawyer has contacted Joystiq to let the world know that he's going to sue the company to prevent both GTA4 and Manhunt 2 to ever be sold to teenagers below 17.

Miami attorney and anti-violent video game activist, Jack Thompson, will file a lawsuit the week of March 19 to prevent the sale of two hyperviolent video games set to be released this year and sold to anyone under 17 years of age.

The two games are Manhunt 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV. Both are made by Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Both games will be rated "Mature." This ESRB rating is an admission, both in the legal sense and in the common sense of the word, that neither game can or should be sold to anyone under the age of 17 years because of the harmful, mature content.

Jack should know, however, that neither game has yet been rated and if they were to be rated M (for Mature), they're not allowed to sold to people under the age of 17 anyway. Does anyone see a reason for this lawsuit other than to promote Thompson's business cause I for sure can't...

I wish someone would do a Manhunt on this guy.
Shit like this gets me more angry than any video game ever could.

Click the link for all the Jack Thompson you could ever want and this is just a taste of what you can expect.

Here is an additional quote from 1up's Head to Head article

EGM: You once compared Doug Lowenstein, president of the Entertainment Software Association, to Saddam Hussein.

JT: If I did, I want to apologize to Saddam Hussein. Doug is a propagandist to whom the facts don't matter.

THIS SITE MAY ENCOURAGE VIOLENT ACTIVITY
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Although if this does happen Jack would have to sue himself, now that would be cool.

Actually, thinking about this comment... I have to agree: not only is this person thriving on attention, the reporting of the - dare I repeat - asshat's antics isn't doing the world of gaming - both publishers and gamers - any good.

Yeh look, the only way to deal with him is to kill him. Unless any of you want to go and do that I suggest the second best way to deal with him is to ignore him. Stop reporting the BS he does. Although to most gamers he may come about as a total ass and laughing stock, for hysterical parents out there worried for their little kids this guy is like a bloody preacher.

Think of the kids! Kill jack thompson and receive a life 90% discount on all consoles!
