Jack Thompson: Never Invited to GDC

Greeno | November 07, 2007 | News | Game Developers Conference 2008 
To be honest, I find this hilarious. Just one day ago, there was news pretty much everywhere that Jack Thompson was invited to speak at Game Developers Conference, however, GDC knew nothing of this. When GDC heard of this, they sent out a statement of correction:

“The Game Developers Conference has not extended an invitation to Jack Thompson to speak at GDC 2008,” Jamil Moledina, executive director, Game Developers Conference, said. “We look forward to announcing the full speaker lineup closer to the show.”
Yesterday we told you that GamePolitics found news that Jack Thompson might be attending the Game Developers Conference as a keynote speaker, but it turns out that the GDC knew nothing of this. Now it looks like Jack is that guy who shows up at the party, swearing that someone there invited him.

The GDC sent us a statement of correction:

“The Game Developers Conference has not extended an invitation to Jack Thompson to speak at GDC 2008,” Jamil Moledina, executive director, Game Developers Conference, said. “We look forward to announcing the full speaker lineup closer to the show.”

Guy at the door: Ooh, hmm. [looks at the list] Yeah man, you're not on the list.

Jack Thompson: Are you sure? Check again.

Guy at the door: No, man, you're not on here. Sorry, dude -- but you can leave those beers here if you want.

    *bleep*ing loser. This guy is probably one of the most hated people among young people. Why can't someone pull a drive-by on his ass.

      But then you'd actually become the bull he is trying to push.

      Why do people keep saying we should kill the guy or pull a drive by? Do you idiots realize that would only prove his point?

    No one would want him there anyway.
    Except to laugh at him.

    It would be like inviting Osama Bin Laden to speak at the Presidential Inauguration. =/ What I'm wondering is where the misinformation came from in the first place? Thompson's office or the GDC? Someone trying to drum up publicity?

    If I were Jack Thompson, I wouldn't of gone even if I was truly invited. It's a false effort.

    Haha, nice going Jack.

    Seriously though, the best way to humiliate Jack Thompson? Get a gamer to save his life. Push him out of the way of an oncoming car or something.

    Wait, never mind. First off, Jack would be to busy suing the companies behind Grand Turismo or Need for Speed for telling people that driving cars is legal. Second, we'd need to find someone who would push Jack out of the way of an oncoming car.....
