Jack's at it... AGAIN?

Apparently the ESRB is to blame for Best Buy's alleged selling of M rated games to minors OVER THE INTERNET. How is the ESRB responsible for Best Buy's "illegal" practices? All they do is play the game to determine the rating a game should receive. It has nothing to do with Best Buy, Jackie. If you want to go after the ESRB and dig your grave deeper, here's a novel idea: Why don't you file a separate suit?

Oh, wait... You know that won't get you anywhere so you try to add them as an accomplice in your lawsuit against Best Buy. Way to go, dumbass.

Thompson issued a press release yesterday, stating that he had indeed filed the suit in the Miami-Dade County Circuit Court and providing a case number (07-36080).

As we reported, the claim against Best Buy suit looks as if it will be going nowhere. Thompson has also apparently named the ESRB in the suit. That looks like a non-starter as well. His explanation:

The ESRB has been sued by Thompson because it is well known that it a) is owned and operated by the video game industry, b) does not even play the games it rates to conclusion, c) routinely mislabels games as to age appropriateness, per testimony before the U.S. Congress, and is engaged in representations to American parents that the age label are accurate and are keeping “Mature” games out of the hands of kids…

    Now, if Jack HAD a brain and was capable of thinking, I might be worried.

    As it stands, though, he's just poor comedy relief. I personally find his pathetic attempts amusing.

    I think we have seen enough of Jack, but as long as he keeps making an idiot out of himself and getting attention for it, he'll still be covered because chances are it will still be video game news. :

      Which is only further promoting the games in question. Curious people who want to find out what's so bad will buy the game, therefore fattening corporate wallets.

      Really, he's only shooting his cause in the foot.

        As I've said before, I doubt the game industry minds. If he wants to help them increase their profits while throwing a legal hissy fit, then by all means let him.

    Getting old...



    Jack Thompson is worthless news, I seriously don't have the energy to call him a fag and whatnot anymore. O' well, he'll lose, and video-gamers will reign. Same old story.

    Aww, but it's fun to watch Thompson make pitiful attempts at getting any praise through repedity. I'd click any Jack Thompson article any day I felt down in the dumps. His absurdity of suing something simply related to games and remotely related to the case makes me feel so smart.

    STOP POSTING ARTICLES ABOUT JACK THOMPSON. THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS. HE WILL NOT WIN ANY OF THESE LAWSUITS. YOU'RE JUST ALLOWING HIM TO PULL THE STRINGS.

    Modified version of the Song Lamb chops, but it fits this so well.
