Jack Thompson bought a copy of GTA IV ... What's he up to?

Gothic Girl | May 01, 2008 | News | Playstation 3 XBOX 360 
First Jack Thompson is getting rid of GTA IV's ads, now he's buying a copy of GTA IV? Something is fichy ...

Is it too much to hope that Jacko has turned to the gamer's side? Yeah, it probably is.
Looks like he's just preparing to cook up even more controversy.

On the bright side, he has just contributed to Rockstar's sales. Way to support the people you're against, Jack.
Looks like someone was hitting the local GameStop midnight launch in his best cabana wear, as that puffiness and scruffiness is clearly indicative that the self-promoting attorney was pulling an all-nighter. Jack sent the above pic into tips, I presume, to fanboy out with us. We don't know your Gamertag, Jack, but would love to Bomb Da Base with you. PM me!

    He secretly loves it... then he'll go public with some nonsense to try and cover up his secret love affair with GTA.

    That's how you spell "fichy"? I thought it was just "fishy"...

    He's probably researching the game to prepare a case against it. Even though his hand is near it you can still see the M warning rating which is clearly displayed and known to all gamers, parents and retailers. Note that carefully, Jack. >___>

    Didn't his son like GTA or something? Maybe that's why he bought it. That and to expose it for everything that he believes is causing us to kill people IRL...

      I don't think JT would ever buy his son GTA IV. Hell, I'm sure he wouldn't give this copy to his son. He probably hides it under his pillow or something so that no one else at his house knows he has it. But then again, if we know he has it, they sure should.

    I could say that he actually does like the GTA series in secret, but that sounds too easy. He's got some big plan cooking up...and I don't like the smell of it.

    Jack Thompson plays XBOX 360. No wonder it gets the RRoD. Jack is the devil.

    I thought that summed up this event quite nicely.

    I told you before he's going to help GTA sales go up, and it looks like he did just that

    I agree with Sonic on this one. Maybe he finally realized that people don't care about his opinions when he's not even properly informed about the game. He's just playing it to build his case.

    Something fishy is going around here...

    Or could it be true? He finally went back to the good side of gaming? Yes! Yes!!!

    I'm surprised he didn't get mobbed/attacked at the store, haha. "The people vs. Jack Thompson."
