Check this out, and this.
I'm not sure if you've heard it already, and I didn't find any topic for this, so I thought I'd just mention it.
Apparently, we gamers aren't the only one's that has a grudge against Jackie. It appears, however, that he has bit off more than he can chew, and if lady luck smiles on us, he might bite the dust too.

This is friggin victory for gamers.

Yeah, this has been going on for ages. And he hasnt actually been found guilty of all that yet; its just a recommendation. The official verdict isnt due until August sometime, I think.

Still, its definitely great news!

When Fox News put up Jack as an 'expert' on game violence, I lost a lot of respect for Fox. Some of their other 'experts' aren't either.

We'll miss him, but not much.

LOL

Ben you are a master of understatement.

I find poetic justice in this. A man who purports to have a religious and moral objection to video games has had his hypocracy shown to the entire nation. His arrogance and total disregard for free expression and reckless misuse of the judicial system has finally bit him in the a**.

Good riddance I say. One less lawyer to clog our courtsystem with frivolous lawsuits.

Loads of information on all this here, for those who are interested: http://www.gamepolitics.com/category/bar-trial-series

Includes transcripts of some of the more interesting bits

YYEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Good riddance to that scum sucker!

I shall personally celebrate that day with several in-game slaughters!

Can't say I'm happy when a guy might lose his career. But I hope a conviction helps throttle his fanatic pursuit of gaming as the root of society's ills. This kind of one-dimensional thinking almost always leads to more harm than good.

3 words:

JACK
THOMPSON
PINATA

and even if it doesnt lead to a conviction it wil seriously harm his credibility the next time he tries to use video games as the lynch pin for al of societies ailments

Argh.....no more cred for you, F***ER!

not entirely related to Jack Thompson being disbarred... but funny enough to make up for it

So true....if Rockstar was defeated, whom would Jack target?

On second thought, bad question.

lets see

ID
valve
voliton
bethesda
EA\maxis
troika ( if troika was still alive)
probably nintendo as well

so enough targets

id like to see his reaction if he sees the jap hentai games
it might not be good enough for a cronary but it should be good for a laugh

His head would explode!

Haha!

I'd just love to see that. Somebody email some hentai games to Jack, we'll see how he reacts!
