You probably have heard of this Jack Thompson lawyer guy by now. He's the one who has had this insane hate against Take Two for releasing "Grand Theft Auto" citing that the game is creating homicidal maniacs out of this generation's youth (youth, I must add, who shouldn't have their hands on the game since it's rated "Mature" for a reason).

A little while ago he was apparently using the name of a pro-family organization without their approval, and they have reciprocated, stating that they are not on the same page as this Thompson guy (my words, not theirs).

Now he's attacking them. Geez, this lawyer must be up to the neck in his own lawsuits by now. I wonder what would happen if he were to have a heart attack or a stroke?

(Note that I do not wish to invite him to have a stroke, but I wonder if he hasn't had one already...)

EDIT: It gets better! Awhile ago he offered $10,000 to a charity in the name of Take Two's president, if someone would make a game about killing the Take Two president and several EBGames and GameStop employees. Someone did it, and apparently it was - to quote - "insufficient" and that his offer was "satire". And as everyone has said, I guess that means that this Charity offer was satire, too? Lovely man, this guy is. Penny Arcade today made a donation of $10,000 to the ESA in Jack's name. Hehe.

All the latest news is in PA's posts, here.
