Thompson body slams BioShock ads

mistermostyn | August 19, 2007 | News | PC XBOX 360

Everyone's favourite videogame activist and medical malpractice lawyer is at it again, this time training his aim on "Take-Two/Rockstar Games' Mature-rated, incredibly violent BioShock" and the ads for the game that ran during the not-at-all-violent and in-no-way-harmful-to-children" WWE Smackdown. Correct us if we're wrong (and we're not) but BioShock is developed by Irrational Games, no?

Old JT isn’t terribly chuffed that the BioShock commercial in question (link at the end of this article) is for an M-rated game, and yet is being shown during a programme which may have people under 18 years of age in its audience. To which we have only one thing to say: BioShock is out in the US on 21 August, and in Europe and Australia on 24 August. So long as you’re the right age, you’ll probably want to get it, as it looks tremendous.

I can't help but to lol at Thompson's idiotic attempts to continue to fight games. Doesn't even get his facts straight this time.

But considering the nature of the game (play the demo for a better idea), it's not too surprising that he was gonna come after Bioshock. I think the Little Sisters in the game alone attracted Thompson's attention...let alone the lighting people on fire, injecting yourself with needles for more use of plasmids, etc. It was only a matter of time. Hopefully he doesn't do anything too insanely outrages or make too much trouble for Bioshock.

"Correct us if we're wrong (and we're not) but BioShock is developed by Irrational Games, no?"
mistermostyn the reason for this is because 2K Games is a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, and 2K Games (specifically 2K Boston/2K Australia) was formerly known as Irrational Games.

So... Irrational Games is apart of Take-Two Interactive.

Make more sense now?

Either way, this guy is a *bleep*tard.

Ah... many thanks for the enlightenment... does this mean we have to remove the ribjab against Jack seeing as we are, technically speaking, wrong? But then, we're also right. Oh, it's a tough one.

You know, if we just ignore anything involving Jack Thompson, the attention-lover will cease to continue this banning games pursuit.

Ignoring him has no effect. As long as he can hear his own voice, he'll keep rambling on and on and on.

The only possible logic in his anti-Bioshock campaign this time is the parts where you beat up little girls with wrenches.

But hey, it's an M-rated game. Parents shuoldn't be buying it for their small children, anyways.
