The steps people, namely Jack Thompson and his gang of hoodlums, are taking in the name to censor anything that even remotely hints at violence is
getting ridiculous. Here I have for you rather recent news of his escapades:
ds.advancedmn.com...
An excerpt from the article, a little gem I so loved:
Thompson even mentioned Eibeler's promise to release Bully, which he calls "a Columbine simulation game in which kids in a virtual school
can bludgeon classmates and teachers" in April 2006. Thompson then took a shot at Microsoft's Bill Gates, stating, "What's next, Paul, a game in
which players can practice flying commercial jetliners into the World Trade Towers? Oh, I forgot. Microsoft already did that. Thank Time's "Man of
the Year," Bill Gates, whose Halo trained Lee Boyd Malvo to be the Beltway Sniper as well.
For those who don't wish to read the article, Mr.Thompson recently purchased a significant amount of Take Two, a game developer, stock. With this
stock, he plans on attending the share holder meetings, and as a share holder his biased and dogmatic view on games and their content must be taken
seriously.
More importantly, if this guy wins over the video game region, whats to say he wont take his personal Jihad over to movies, then to books, then to
street corners, where he deems the man heralding the end of times is influencing kids to commit suicide and shoot up schools.
Anyone find this as ridiculous as I do. Not to mention the bounds he's making are rather frightening.
