Dibs on Master Chief!
Oh, and here's some more recent articles pertaining to our delusional attorney friend. Phoenix Wright is gonna love tearing him apart:
"I DO NOT APPROVE OF PARODIES OF MYSELF."
Jack in trouble for sending homoerotica to the judge.

Wasn't Thompson's license revoked or something?
*looks it up*
Damn... just in Alabama. Nobody takes this moron seriously, why does he continue to make an a** of himself over and over?

He is his own publicist. If anything, the cases he files may be egged on by some secretive payoffs by the game companies themselves. It's a great marketing tool, if anything, to have your game declaired too violent for society by a lawyer. GREAT for Rockstar games too... since that's the persona they wish to portray. Jackass Thompson is either a tool for marketing games... or just a tool. Dispite whatever the case is... Jack Thompson is a tool. He needs to stay out of other people's business. What games we play is our own private right.
A Bar lawsuit has already been filed against him for repeatedly insulting a judge. Gotta hand it to him for being mostly intelligent during interviews, but he's as bad a role model as the games he is bashing.
In my extensive sociological research of video game violence (for college) I came to one conclusion. I can best portray that conclusion with a quote from author Steven Poole. "Although a game may train a person to kill, it does not plant in them a desire to do so."
Hmm. I should stick that in my sig!

I still wish i was the first in line to come back home with his head as a trophy. He's been a public nuisance for far too long.

Ah, Jack Thompson.
It's fitting that they call it Court, y'know, because he's one hell of Jester.
In a way, I've come to like him. His lunacy has done much to discredit those against video games.
