A Rant On Bosses: Final Fantasy & Shank
15 hours 16 mins ago
Jack Thompsons seems to think that there is a mission in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV where he is a target. A mission basically based around killing Jack Thompson, that's what he thinks. Since Nico's first mission is to murder a lawyer in GTA IV, Jack Thompson thinks it's him.
Plenty of gamers would give their left arm to be included in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Miami attorney Jack Thompson, however, claims that hes depicted in the game and wants out. And he threatens to block the release of GTA IV if Rockstar doesnt comply.

Is it possible he could stop the release of GTAIV because of this?
However he can complain all he wants
This just makes me want the game even more.
And there is no real info that suggests this 'lawyer' in the GTA IV game, is supposed to represent Jacko...Unless this lawyer has Jacko's personality (rabidly anti-gaming, and just plain delusional), he can't say that...
And yeah, I was going to mention, that he has some sort of agreement not to go after Take Two anymore (Take Two countersued him, and they made some sort of agreement not to sue eachother or something)...Idiot...
Seriously, if at all possible, we (gamers, and the media) should all attempt to ignore Mr Psychotic attention seeker, and hope he goes away, or commits suicide or something...
If there is a loose connection to be made between two items, you can bet Thompson will be there.
Ok, so now he just increased GTA'a sales. Good for him, really good for us.
Seriously though, Jack should have sued Rockstar for the other GTA's. They all depicted some kind of jackass with a big mouth, and yet Jack doesn't complain at all. But wait! GTA also had people in them! People obviously = Jack Thompson! SUE! SUE! SUE!
This is such a great marketing opportunity for Rockstar. I wasn't really planning on getting GTA IV, but I would definitely get a copy if it meant shooting Jack Thompson in a video game.
They'd have to go to some extreme extents to make this an even considerable case for the courts to acknowledge it. As far as this is concerned it could be any person in this generic scenario.
No way could there be a scenario where criminals have put a hit out on a real person, let alone a lawyer. That's just madness and if it has happened in the history of human existence it was because of the old stone carving GTA games.
But being GTA im sure they could do scenario where there's a layer who hates games called Mack Johnson. See the similarity.
Im glad he did talk about GTA all he's going to do is increase sales for it, and Sony and 360 are glad to take an extra 50% increase
Still a good joke
LMAO! I really want to shoot him with my water gun!
