Hit the Road, Jack!

September 26, 2007 in News comments 17

Well it looks like Jack Thompson finally got what's coming to him. His constant crusade against video games has landed him in hot water with the Florida Bar Association, meaning he could lose his ability to practice law, and to make things worse, he sent pictures of gay porn to the judge presiding over his lawsuits against the Bar. Needless to say, we know the judge is straight based on his reaction, although Jack could find himself in jail if he doesn't come out of the closet soon.

So my question is: if video games were responsible for Virginia Tech, are they responsible for Jack Thompson's current predicament as well, or is he going to start a crusade against the gay porn industry now?

...Thompson attached several gay porn pictures to his motion with Judge Jordan. The pictures apparently do not come directly from the National Gay News site, but rather are contained on sites linked from NGN’s adult links section.

In any case, His Honor was not amused.

    I can't wait to hear Thompson's explanation for the pictures. It's almost like he's telling the judge that he doesn't care anymore for some reason. I think it's probably because the police continually laugh at him when he tries to report sites like Kotaku for making fun of him.

    Why would he do such a thing? Oh wait, it's Jack Thompson...

    Stop watching your gay porn, Jack and try and think up a lame excuse that you rebutle with. Yeah right.

    Somehow, the guy has managed to keep himself on the Florida Bar Association (Bribes anyone?) and passed at least on Psych evaluation (again, bribes?)...

    Ehhh, don't try to find much logic in anything he does, paying attention to Whacko Jacko, is exactly what he wants, if only everyone could learn to ignore him, he would eventually stop (possibly), or maybe kill himself, leaving a note saying:

    "Video games made me do it...Video games kill people, here is undeniable proof, I can only hope that my death has meaning..."

    Of course, gamers would create an international celebration day "The death of a really annoying clown" or something...

    Honestly I'm willing to bet someone pulled a successful prank on him. If so, BRAVO!!! But if not then well that says a whole lot of new crap about him.

      Either way, his career is just about over with this little shenanigan. This would be so much funnier if is a prank, though. I guess only time will tell.

    Jack Thompson is like a cockroach, cut off the head and he still manages to survive. Trust me he'll come up with some excuse and stay in law

    quote Jack Thompson
    I’m not the one in trouble. The judge found a certain lawyer’s material obscene. I absolutely love it.
    ...Wait, so he absolutely loves the gay porn?

    The day that Jack Thompson loses the ability to practice law is the day that I run naked through the streets out of sheer happiness.

    I am dead serious.

    I hope this will finally be his last days as a stupid lawyer, cause if it is, I will have the hugest party ever thrown by me.

    This is awesome on so many levels. Finally that stupid idiotic dumbass might just have kicked himself in the ass and broken the .01% chance he had of being taken seriously. I hope he gets kicked out of law...and who knows, flogged in jail suits me just fine too.

    He totally deserved it. I hope this would be an example for other detractors as well. *hopes*

    The hell? Why would someone do that? I guess Thompson finally decided to come out of the closet.
