Jack Thomspon gets upset over Icon and other whacko facts

[CptStern]

here's the icon in question - may need to copy paste link into new window

here's the background info:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jack Thompson is currently trying to have my boss, Lou Kerner, arrested by the NYPD for one of these terrifying death threats.

You see, this AIM buddy icon was posted over at BadassBuddy, a Bolt.com affiliate site. Jack decided this was a death threat and freaked out. That's correct - an AIM buddy icon. Jack is apparently terrified of buddies.

So scared, in fact, that he immediately called the New York offices of Bolt and demanded to talk to our legal counsel. Instead, Lou Kerner, the president of Bolt, was kind enough to return Jack's call personally later that day. Lou told Jack it was no big deal and that he would contact BadassBuddy and ask them to remove the icon. Which he did, and later, they did."

here's part of Jack's letter to the NYPD:

Captain Anthony V. Bologna
Commanding Officer
New York Police Department First Precinct

Dear Captain Bologna .... [ed: where's Sgt Salami? ]

....You can see this animation at http://badassbuddy.bolt.com.

I believe this activity constitutes criminal activity in a number of regards by Bolt and by its partner, BadAssBuddy.

This animation has not been removed from the Internet despite my request to Mr. Kerner, the COO of Bolt, who returned my phone call about the above. You will note at their web site that Bolt exclaims that there are 4.5 million hits by teenagers at this site monthly.

Please proceed with the investigation and arrest of those responsible"





another interesting tidbit:

"More proof that he's a nut? Take his political campaign against Florida Attorney General Janet Reno back in 1988 (yes THAT Janet Reno), which consisted of calling her a closet lesbian who was being blackmailed by the mob. At a public debate, he actually walked up to her and handed her a piece of paper that read:

I, Janet Reno, am a
[ ] Homosexual
[ ] Bisexual
[ ] Heterosexual

and demanded that she check one of the boxes. No, really, he did. You just can't make stuff like this up, it's too weird."

The form went on to say, "If you don't respond by such a date, then you will be deemed to have checked one of the first two boxes."

Janet Reno should die after what happened at waco.

But JackTompson, grrr hes at it again!

 

[Lucid]

Silly Jacko.

 

[Shippi]

This guy is bizarre

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Its times like these were I want to open up a cold one and have a drink with my redneck buddy friends

Fehehehe. Take that, Jack Thompson

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Fehehehe. Take that, Jack Thompson

I don't think Jack Thompson minds about the buddy icon, but he's trying to prevent internet spamming, like whats just occured in the Quote tags

 

[ktimekiller]

What an idiot. that is all.

 

[CptStern]

"Not surprisingly, Thompson is a regular at Free Republic, the conservative chat site. He doesn't always get along with them, though; he once started a thread that was, in effect, a veiled threat to sue anyone who insulted him under the cloak of anonymity."


a quick search turned up nothing ..although there is a member called Thompson but his posts arent insane enough to be Jack

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Wow now hes just hitting the ground, trying to find anything that he doesn't like to be removed. TBH they could've kept that gif on the site, it was no showing a threat or anything, hell its an mspaint jack most likely. This guy is going to get himself killed.

 

[<RJMC>]

..........

 

[Dalamari]

I hope Jack Thompson **taken down by police** SAVE ME!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

:e :e :e

Now if he was killed, that would be evidence leading towards you.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

:e:e:e

Thats Jack thompson? I was expecting him to be a little shorter

by the way RJMC, its a capitol E not an e

 

[Beerdude26]

DiSTuRbEd I don't like the way that Dilbert is looking at me.

REMOVE IT AT ONCE OR I'LL SUE YOU OMGGTFOBBQ

Lol

 

[CptStern]

I wish some of you wouldnt make death threats toward thompson ...not only does it prove his point but it's also criminal behaviour


I'd rather get back at him where it counts: his career ..he's a nut and exposing his insanity to the public at large is far more effective than disposing of him ...if that were the case he'd turn into a martyr and the government would come down hard on gaming

 

[Shodan]

Looks like its time again...

*Loads shells into shotgun.

What is his damn problem?

Aww, why won't he have a heart attack and die... his career has about as much point as a chocolate teapot.

 

[<RJMC>]

Now if he was killed, that would be evidence leading towards you.

but if they make a investigation I will not go to jail cuz I didnt do it

 

[Beerdude26]

chocolate teapot

Chocolate teapots are tasty.

Therefore, Jack Thompson is tasty!
*Calls that German cannibal*

 

[A True Canadian]

Why can't people laugh at cartoons anymore?



Jack is overreacting, and wasting the valuable time of the NYPD over something so trivial. It's almost like he's becoming paranoid.

**Pours myself a cup of hot-chocolate** :cheers:
I'm sorry, but the point of a chocolate teapot is to have hot chocolate

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Uh they wouldn't put it under investigation, you posted it. Pretty much all the evidence they need.

 

[Beerdude26]

Anyone read the second letter Jack posted to the NYPD?

link

Dear Captain Bologna:

The animation depicting my killing has now been removed, minutes ago, from the above-noted web site.

Mr. Kerner of Bolt Media has just called me to inform me of that, which has occurred as a result of his communication with BadAssBuddy.com.

I believe the removal of the animation by BadAssBuddy.com, which put it up there with full knowledge as to the impropriety of doing so, constitutes an admission of guilt by BadAss Buddy, Bolt Media's business partner.

Therefore, please proceed with an investigation and prosecution, if appropriate of Bad AssBuddy.com's employees who are responsible for this. Targeting of citizens because they oppose the targeting of police officer has no place in a free society.

Let me know if you need an affidavit from me or others.

This guy is absolutely ****ed up in the head :/

 

[<RJMC>]

Uh they wouldn't put it under investigation, you posted it. Pretty much all the evidence they need.

so if in a crime a witnes see tha the criminal was a black person then the police will arrest the first balck person they see? I say that cuz this cant be a a evidence cuz it dont put me in the crime scene and stuff just make a suspect

 

[Beerdude26]

I'm feeling tempted to e-mail Jack about this forum, let us see if he can bring it up against intelligent gamers.

Do it or don't?

 

[Dalamari]

Wait, this was the NYPD? Why didn't they send a squad car over to his place and beat the shit outa him? The NYPD doesn't put up with dumb shit like that.

 

[CptStern]

I'm feeling tempted to e-mail Jack about this forum, let us see if he can bring it up against intelligent gamers.

he probably wouldnt bother looking through our site ..if there was say a sticky in the politics forum (hint hint) on all info pertaining to him ...he might look ...couldnt hurt .. please keep it mature

 

[Beerdude26]

if there was say a sticky in the politics forum (hint hint) on all info pertaining to him

Lol, naturally, I too would go crazy if I had to find every scrap of evidence and argument

please keep it mature

Just 1-day ban anyone who acts out of control.

 

[CptStern]

The mods do that anyway

 

[CrazyHarij]

Jack Thompson deserves to have his arms ripped out of their sockets, not because of his views on gaming, but because of his completely, utterly insulting lack of any intelligence whatsoever, and the fact that he actually has any influence at all on certain people makes me sick.

Exactly! Imagine what would happen if some idiot actually tried to kill him, or succeeded in doing so? His mission would be complete.

 

[<RJMC>]

[Beerdude26]

Lol just listened to the 80 minute interview with Jack Thompson

You know what he said? (LITERALLY)

"Electronic Arts is in collaboration with the porn industry to make sexual content to make their games more attractive."

ROFL

Sorry Jack, but your theories are riddled with holes like swiss cheese.

 

[DreadLord]

He's an idiot.

 

[Moto]

This fucker needs to just shut the hell up and quit being such a pussy. His crusade is worthless and he's just doing this to get his name out and stir up shit. They should just lock him up in an insane asylum and throw away the key.

 

[bam23]

I wanna see what happens if we lock him in a hall of mirrors.
