Jack Thompsan needs to die in a hole where nobody can find him. Video games are a form of entertainment, not a guidebook to damning yourself. I mean thats not to say they have their cons, but everything has a good and a bad. Man Iam ashamed to live in the same state as this guy. >_>

And thus the empire of ageism goes on.

Wow, this is why I hate Fox.

The other guy hardly got to talk at all. Jack had the floor all to himself at first, and then Jack, as usual, stopped the guy nearly every time he tried to speak, and the lady stopped him before he could reply the last time. She was clearly a terribly biased reporter, obviously on Jack's side from the start. Awful report, anyway, even by Fox's standards.

But I have to say, if a kid goes to another kid's house and watches pornography, isn't that just as bad? Because it's certainly just as possible.

Second, it is not sold to children. It can't be legally sold to children. It isn't certainly marketed to children, either. Until he can find one commercial aimed at kids, he's just pulling this out of his ass.

Third, consoles have parental controls. Use them. I use them, and my six-year-old brother can't play violent games like Resident Evil 4 or the Godfather. I exercise some responsibility, and I'm just a sibling. Parents should do the caring, not let a game system babysit them.

Fourth, didn't the research they did find that there wasn't really a link at all between violent video games and violent behaviour in teens? Other than an extremely small, unstable minority (which exists in every age group), it really didn't affect them.

Fifth, a responsible adult should have every right to play whatever game he or she wants. It is not some failure of a lawyer's job to decide that. Again, adult, because only they are able to purchase the game. If a minor buys the game, that is the retailers fault and the seller is both fired and fined.

Wow. Thompson just blabbers on, while the news reporter tries to speak..

Is it me, or does watching this make Jack seem more like a broken record?

"The one game that oughtta be banned..."



Pitiful statements that go against nature. "It's a rated M game, so kids of all ages will have it... my son stinged a Target and successfully got an M rated game..." God, embarassing your own son now? Like he isn't embarassed enough being your son... "a kid can walk into a store and a clerk will sell it to him" He landed that horribly.

Hey Jack Thompson, way to cut off that guy every few seconds! You must be so confident that he has nothing good to say that will prove you wrong and make you a even bigger joke of all time, you have the balls to cut him off!

You're cooler than Ninjabread Man.

Ninjabread Man? Excuse me? You did not just insult the almighty sultan of grain by calling him ninja. His is shinobi now.

Point is, Jack Thompson is so much cooler than that Johnson guy. Seriously, who cares about Johnson's opinions? I love hearing Thompson's dreamy voice instead.

Question doesn't Jack Thompson look different in that video compared to the pictures. Idk for some reason to me he does.

Oh, ffs! How many times can Thompson not research these things? Manhunt 2 didn't "magically" have it's rating lowered. Alot of "too violent" material was taken out, just so it can get a lower rating and be "acceptable" for sale.
Pfft, it'd be okay if he had valid points. But all he does is ramble crap.


I love that Jonathan guy!

This Jack is *bleep*ing sick.

Gogetenks, I couldn't've said it better myself.

hmmm...there's a shocker.

Asshole, who's he to tell me what games I can and can't play? I've played through Manhunt multiple times, and I've never became more angry. If someone else does, then that's their problem, not mine. I should still be able to play it if I choose to.

I hate Jack Thompson.
