JT slapped down by court on Bully

[WhiteZero]

Jack Thompson's attempt to keep Take-Two from shipping out its controversial game apparently thwarted; attorney compares decision to Iran nuclear crisis.

bwhahaha

Said JT on the matter:

Now that you have consigned innumerable children to skull fractures, eye injuries from slingshots, and beatings with baseball bats, without a hearing as to the danger, let me tell you a few things, with all respect for your office and with no respect for the arbitrary way in which you handled this matter," he wrote. "The way you conducted yourself today helps explain why a great Dade County Judge, the late Rhea Pincus Grossman, could not abide you."

Hillarious

And:

How dare you, Judge, promise a hearing today and then prevent that hearing from occurring. How dare you, Judge, petulantly order the production of the game after it is released on Tuesday morning. I didn't even ask for that. You did that out of spite, and you were smiling when you did that. You really enjoyed that one, didn't you, Judge? Next time you promise a 'hearing,' I'll bring a parent with me whose kid is in the ground because of a kid who trained to kill him or her on a violent video game. Try mocking that person, I dare you.

Yes, and hopefully I'll be there to brow-beat the parent of the teen who was suposedly "trained" on that game, on how terrible of a parent they are.
What a tool.

Jack Thom- *explodes*

He's an idiot for picking a game like Bully. It disturbs me that the judge even considered it. So if he had watched it and decided that it was too much for children, then it wouldn't have been released? Surely a ruling such as that would have been overturned, but it's depressing it got as far as it did.

If Thompson wasn't a moron and picked a game that actually had controversial content this could've gone another way.

On the other hand it does sound like the judge was mocking him

There've been a few games magazines that have conducted reasonable interviews with him, but he still comes across as an unreasonable dick.
