PENIS PENIS PENIS PENIS is the answer.

Maybe. I suppose if it came to it, I guess I could always claim that Jack Thompson made me kill my entire family.

Wait... That hasn't happened! Yet.

i know you're being funny there, but what i really meant was that gamers now have an excuse to kill him

Can you give me the jist of it?

He is the guest on a radio show, and the radio host completely disagrees with him. He is pretty rude to the radio host a few times, and everything that he says, all of his arguments... are so stupid.

Thompson mentioned his 13 year old son, who apparantly is "identical" in his feelings for violent video games. According to Jackie, the kid notices that the kids who play video games in school are much more violent, and most of the time are bullies. (???)

In response to the radio host saying that bullying has been around for hundreds of years, despite the presense of video games, Thompson mentioned that 400 years ago kids would bring guns to school. They would do this because they would go hunting right afterwards. "But they didn't turn them on each other back then." (What a great argument :E)

At one point, when mentioning San Andreas, the radio host classified the characters in Hot Coffee as being "cartoon characters" to which Jack nastily replied "They aren't cartoon characters, obviously you have not played the game" and the host replies with "I don't tend to, but I've seen pictures." After a bit of weird bitching by Jackie, the radio host said that his own son, who is older than Thompson's, has told him that in order to get the patch to see the Hot Coffee mod, a kid needs to know the internet so well that s/he would most certainly be able to download tons of high-resolution, real porno. Jack responded by saying that Take Two lied about the contents of the game... which is pretty much skating around the issue.

All in all, the guy pretty much made Thompson out to be a friggin' moron.

Just like Penny-Arcade.

Man, I love that quote.
