Jack Thompson: Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff is "dead meat" |
Ó
After getting his video game and movie bill vetoed by Utah Governor Jon Huntsman last week, a frustrated Jack Thompson turns his attack to Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who expressed concerns about the legality of HB 353. Thompson sent an email to Salt Lake Tribune, and a copy of it to GamePolitics, saying that Shurtleff is "dead meat" in the header.
The email basically said that Thompson wants Shurtleff to move against major retailers, such as BestBuy and Target, for what Thompson claims is "the distribution of pornography to minors in violation of state law." He then threatened that he will "proceed" against the Attorney General if he fails to comply. Thompson even added a few links in the email showing strip club and hooker scenes from Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, Xbox 360).
GamePolitics sought Rep. Mike Morley, the sponsor HB 353, for comment, and he replied: "I know nothing about that."
If you wanna see the full emails from ol' Jack, they're posted on GamePolitics in the source link below.
Flame bait, I know. But easy on the comments, okay guys?
Jack Thompson sent this message too:

i don't know what to say
And this guy says video games cause violence. Watch the tone, Mr. Thompson.
Good ol JT. I thought he finially dug his grave and then had it filled in back when he got barred... guess the evil dead just keep coming back huh?
Hmm, actually a zombie thompson would be way more entertaining!
I guess the pack of wild sea otters i sent in the mail haven't eaten him alive yet?
Since videogames make people violent, lol. (joking guys, don't kill me, noo, noooooooo!!!!!! )
Jack is gonna be the one who's dead meat if he doesn't keep his mouth shut. We're tired of his ramblings. I'll get Agent 47 on his ass.
Sounds like a good idea, Jack.
This guy's been playing Phoenix Wright. Too bad real life doesn't have a Continue option when you hit gameover huh Mr. Thompson.
I know this is f'd up but this guy needs to play this Wii.

He's gonna get hung for making a death threat lol
if they were ill-tempered seabass with lasers he/'d be dead
looks like somebody really pissed off today
Hasn't somebody beaten the crap out of this guy yet?
He'd blame it on video games.
I know the Targets in my area won't sell M rated games to minors. I get carded when I buy them and I'm 31.
@ jesuschristmonk eyballs:
Sorry, but your pack of wild sea otters have been eaten alive by Jack thompson.
-.-
I worked retail, and I would get fired if I didn't card people That looked younger then 42. The store I worked in even even had huge signs by the game area showing what each waiting meant. It's the same for my local Walmart, so I've always thought Jack was full of sh*t,
LMFAO @Serosis & @Thelastguitarh ero!
Priceless!
But Im def emailing this guy though Im really sick of his *****
LMao No one is NEVER NEVER gonna listen to you JT the reason is your trying to BAN all games and thats not good for the Job market or in any kind of area in the gaming market so F YOU!

(thanks to dictionary.com for this definition and others)
as you can see this doesnt fit the bill of "pornography" it isnt intended to incite sexual arousal and seriously... whos aroused by GTA and the likes? at best its a sexual situation no greater than the things we see on primetime network television shows. Law and Order: SVU is by far more sexually suggestive, and NYPD blue has actually shown naked man a.s.s on it. these just earn a rating warning parents what may be shown to their kids. this guy is definately not in the know, and quite likely half retarded.
Wacko Jacko considers violent video games "lurid or sensational", so it does (for him) fit that definition.
but he's still a total farking nutter.
Wow, this guy talks a ton of ***** about violent video games and then says something like this. Whats his excuse for his own violent behavior since he obviously cant blame this one on video games.
jt played super mario brother on the nes,
a friend played for a while and got 125 lives and left
then jt took over the contoller at stage 3-3
and used all 125 lives and never defeated bowser.
since that very day he said to himself, i will abolish video games even if it cost me my future title as an attorney and my life.
jesus, this letter would not have even gotten past the bum sleeping on the bench at the end of the white house lawn. if this is in fact his opinion maybe he should try educating parents into teaching their children the differences between RIGHT & WRONG??? have you forgotten how to do that???
