Jack Thompson challenges a fake Samuel L Jackson to a debate!

Gothic Girl | February 19, 2008 | News | Misc 
We're all sick of hearing about Jack Thompson lately. But every now and then something genuinely funny - if not slightly deranged - comes up about him. Over on News Groper, a site that has fake blogs, a phony Samuel L Jackson wrote a response to Jack Thompson's recent report on the NIU shootings. Sad thing is, Thompson didn't realize the blog was a fake and has now challenged Jackson to a debate about violent video-games.
Thompson even went so far as to post his real email address and phone number for Jackson to respond to. Needless to say that many gamers have jumped on the opportunity to email and call him - His phone lines have been busy all day. Here's hoping he won't use the calls/emails as "evidence" against gamers.
The phony Samuel L. Jackson blogs:

quote fake Samuel L Jackson
And I was also *bleep*ing amazed when I read about Christian conservative attorney Jack Thompson blaming all this shooting shit on video games again, like there ain't no other possible got-damn reason on God's green earth for a mother*bleep*er to go batshit and blow away another person. Jack Thompson's letter to the Northern Illinois University president is a laugh-riot. I'm assuming Jack Thompson isn't related to Eric "Don't Call Me Lance Bass" Thompson, but both these Thompsons sure got a family resemblance of idiotic statements.
Now imagine Sam Jackson saying it. And picture Jack Thompson getting upset by this. And then imagine Jack Thompson getting mad at the real Sam Jackson for something the fake Sam Jackson blogged. Hit the jump for Thompson's comment on the News Groper post:

quote Jack Thompson
Mr. Jackson, I enjoyed your post about NIU and about me. Unfortunately, you could fit what you know about school shootings and their causes in a sleeve of Titleist golf balls. I'm a six handicap, and would love to play you a match anywhere anytime.
More importantly, Mr. Jackson, I saw you and the Jack Thompson spoof at the Spike TV Video Game Awards Show. Very funny, really.

Here's a proposal: Why don't you debate me on this issue of whether violent video games cause real world violence. I'll do it anywhere, anytime. You name it.

I dare you.

Jack Thompson, 305-666-4366, amendmentone@comcast.net

And in his fury, Thompson even posted his phone number on the internet so he and Sam could talk Black Snake Moan! Keep this in mind: Jack Thompson sent us this story, along with his debate proposal. The subject line of that email? "Jack Thompson is winning and you are not." He must've felt pretty important that even Samuel L. Jackson was hatin' on him! Well, until he realized it was a TOTALLY FAKE Samuel L. Jackson.

    I wonder if the Real Samuel Jackson knows about this.
    He might be laughing about it.
    Jack Thompson is so stupid.
    He really thinks that Internet is always serious business.

    I called him, and wow, what a jerk off, I told him Iam a gamer and a pacifist, and asked him what he had to say to that. Said that he felt sorry for my parents, what a douche.

      Wow, if he's going to say that sort of stuff, then people should start recording their calls and saving their emails with him and send them to the Florida Bar. XD
      They need more ammo when it comes to getting Jack Thompson disbarred, and if he is antagonizing gamers then that certainly won't work in his favour. XD

    LOL haha he really did add that in his post was a tool. I hope he satisfied with adding his email and Phone number cause his mail box and phone will be busy for the next week or so non stop.

    I wonder could the real Samuel L Jackson say this, and does he know about this?

    Has anyone noticed that his neighborhood code has 666 in it? The irony.

    This is going to prove to be a battle to epic proportions. Imagine Jack when he realizes that this kid is pretending... how many wannabes have you seen on the net and believed them? Although this is Thompson's case...

    Is it really JT though? I can believe he'd be that stupid, but the E-mail seems off....

    I think I had actually seen his e-mail somewhere, and it didn't look like that >_>

    Eh, if it really is him, well, thats another dumbarse thing Whacko Jacko did >_>

      It's him. He's also posted his phone number on GamePolitics.com before. I still find a huge irony in the "666" though.

      ...Maybe the phone provider realizes that he's the video game antichrist?
