Coming This Spring: Jack - Is - Back

[camoor]

So we all know that Jack Thompson was sued by Take Two, but check out his response:

...I encourage folks to read Psalm 35, a Psalm of David, which is brilliant in its entirety (since God Himself wrote it), but for those who don't own a Bible or who think their hands will catch on fire if they touch one, here is the salient portion that applies to this lawsuit:
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit,
which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares;
and let his net that he hath hid catch himself:
into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD:
it shall rejoice in his salvation.
The pit Take-Two has dug for itself will be patently clear next week when I strike back. Oh, and by the way, the entire Take-Two management and board will be gone on March 23, so this pit-digging comes at a very bad time indeed.
Amen, and Praise be to God Almighty, maker of Heaven, Earth, and yes, the maker even video games. Jack Thompson

Good grief. Way to completely misuse the Bible, Jack. Nice work making the whole of us who take it seriously look bad.

(since God Himself wrote it)

That is awesome.

How does he know they'll be gone on the 23rd? Also, why does it matter if they're gone?

It sounds like the 23rd is the annual SH meeting. Take-Two has filed a few Item 5.02 8-Ks recently and at least three members of the current board are not running for election again. I got bored looking back any further than this past January. All the info is public knowledge on the sec.gov site.

On a side note, their last 10-Q has a HUGE litigation disclosure section. Most of it stems from the hot coffee stuff and there is one case trying to hold them responsible for "copycat violence".

Obligatory self-indulgent "against the grain" post:

If Jack Thompson didn't exist, we would have to invent him.

[FriskyTanuki]

So Jack is a God Warrior now?

[chakan]

I opened this thread hoping for the return of Samurai Jack on Cartoon Network.


Boy was I dissappointed.

[magiic]

I thought this was going to be a posting of the "Titanic 2: To The Surface" clip off youtube.

[Qslugs]

I wonder if god has anything planned for the wii?

[Scrubking]

So Jack is a God Warrior now?

He's always claimed that he is a messenger of God come to destroy videogames. He believes that God specifically sent him to destroy Take-two and violent videogames.

How nobody can see that this guy needs a room with padded walls, let alone a dismissal from the bar, is beyond me.

[dallow]

Since God Himself wrote it....

Oh my...
Has he not even read the Psalm himself?
Does he think the whole Bible was written by God?

This isn't the Koran (which is supposedly word for word Allah).

[javeryh]

It's going to be awesome when EA gobbles them up - they will flatten JT if he proceeds with all of his legal attacks.

[guyver2077]

crap.. i thought you were talking about titanic 2!!!

EDIT.. FUCK magiic beat me to it

[dtcarson]

I was hoping for the return of You Dont Know Jack.

[rabbitt]

And I thought Jack Black was going to star in another B comedy.

[prmononoke]

I'm trying to figure out why he thinks this is stupid. Basically he is admitting he wants a one-sided fight, without the industry defending itself.

[machoman_93]

I thought this was Jak 4, oh well. Jack Tompson is an escaped mental hospital patient.

[vivafriend5]

I love sequels...

[jer7583]

Thanks for furthering the Christians as wackos stereotype, Jack, those of us who are actual Christians really love you for it.

Would someone commit this guy already?

[Kendal]

There should be a word filter for Jack Thompson. Something along the lines of Butt Dick or Asshat.

Good grief. Way to completely misuse the Bible, Jack. Nice work making the whole of us who take it seriously look bad.

Agreed.

...The background also includes a number of contentious remarks about Take-Two before enumerating his accusations. Thompson refers to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as a "violence and sex simulation game" that perpetuates racial stereotypes, asking, "What else would one expect of Scottish sociopaths sipping their single malt Glenlivet in between brainstorming software programming sessions?"

He goes on to mention September 11, accusing the New York City-based publisher of "spewing its pop culture sewage to the world's children" from near the former site of the World Trade Center. Calling depraved US pop culture a recruiting tool for extremists, Thompson asks, "What is America's rebuttal to the Islamic Fascist recruitment call? This counterclaim is the rebuttal, not just to these terrorists but to Take-Two."

I don't get it - isn't that a racial stereotype of Scots?
