    Damn.. There are some psycho-ass people out there.

    Cue the demented honking from people blaming video games :/

    Regardless, this sucks a lot.

        He won't leave anything alone, until he dies (Knowing the worlds luck, at 140 of old age).

        Until then, we're going to have to strap in for the long haul - He's not going away, but by all accounts, neither are we bowing to his stupidity.

          yeah, I just wish that someone would silence him (preferably in a video game inspired rampage, although I don't think the irony is worth the bad publicity we'd get)

            I don't want anyone to deliberatly kill him. Infact, I think it'd suck a lot of they did. I'm here hoping that his deplorable responses to violence, riding on the life shattering events of other people, is enough to cause him to get something, or do something, that causes him so much pain, it's inconcievable to you and I.

            I don't mind him wrecking on video games - He's more than welcome to, because he has such a small effect, it's really more entertaining than bothersome. It's his continued use of other peoples tragedies that really gets me. I thought he might have learned something from the V-Tech gunner, but apparently not. Apparently he's still as block-headed as ever. No one will ever convince me that he's anything other than a dispicable human being.

      A: He's a misinformed fool.

      B: I called it

      C: It's Fox, who claimed Mass Effect was porno. I'm seeing a link of stupid between the two..

          Absolutely no doubt about it.

          Fox almost has a get-out clause, the majority of their board of directors are really not switched on (Cancelling Futurama was a classic example), or at least, don't consider the viewers opinions.

          Thompson has no excuse, and will never be redeemable. Ever.

        There, surprisingly enough, is actually no link between Jack Thompson and the Mass Effect criticism.

        Why would you be surprised. I don't see any problem with it. The guy who shot his mouth off about it had no idea what the Hell he was talking about.

        To: Jack
        From: Brian
        You mean you're OK with mass effect?

        Of course. This contrived controversy is absolutely ridiculous. Report that, why don't you?

        Consider it reported. Now where did my socks go?

          I know - I saw the Kotaku post when it was posted - I never said there was a link between Fox and Thompson on the Mass Effect, just that Fox are clearly stupid, and Thompson is still a complete numbskull.

    God, I'm sick of video games being blamed for all of this.
    I mean, it's awful enough as it is. Doesn't exactly feel good to be called psychos who are training on mass-murder simulators. I'm pointing fingers at you, Jacky boy.

    I'm tired. I don't even know what I'm saying.
