Jack Thompson outlawyered by blogger

Jack ThompsonOver at Gamer Andy, George E. mentions that Jack Thompson is non-news. That being said, we're not sure if humor would be the appropriate category to put this in, or opinions and analysis. In any case, it's a story of Jack getting mad at gamers again.

George's headline reads, and I quote,

"Enraged Jack Thompson Writes Press Release, Forgets It, Sues Me Eight Months Later Over Letter in a Magazine From Five Weeks Ago That Refers To His Press Release From Eight Months Ago, Something About Florida Law, and the Precious Gift of Literacy."


The story behind it is long-winded, but here goes: George received a letter from the Florida lawyer about something the blogger sent to a magazine previously. Thompson attempted to refute those points, but George debunks them by pointing to the original press release Jack Thompson made that caused this whole fiasco to begin with.

Confusing, isn't it?

To put it simply, Jack Thompson thinks George was a collaborator of Take-Two Interactive and helped in coordinating particular antics to mess with Thompson. Obviously, George fights back by analyzing the definitions of words (as a lawyer would do) and explaining how the entire issue is "beyond frivolity." In the end, he says that if Thompson wants to take it to the mat, he'll call his lawyer and they'll do lunch... in the courtroom.

Thank goodness for people who are willing to talk things through in a rational fashion. Well... I suppose you could say "one person" in this case.

Weve got white-collar people trying to grab our style

Saying were too nasty and were 2 live

Corrupted politicians playing games

Bringing us down to boost their fame

They must be joking thinking we will fall

But theyre like flies movin the wall

We stand tall from beginning to end

With the help from fans and all our friends

Freedom of speech will never die

For us to help, our ancestors died

Dont keep thinking that we will quit

Well always stand and never sit

Were 2 live, 2 black, 2 strong

Doing the right thing, and not the wrong

So listen up, yall, to what we say

We wont be banned in the u.s.a.!

It isn't a ploy to take over the world, its a ploy to break the first ammendment. Which is just showing that our constitution doesn't seem to matter.
