Jack Thompson vs Facebook
0
Well the Videogame industry's greatest annoyance has found another to... Well annoy people With his lawsuit against Facebook.
Basically some gamers came to his Facebook to talk shit to him, some of which included threats to smack him across the face with an Atari 2600 or $50 face-punch bounty.
I think this is just retarded and Jack Thompson suing facebook for what a bunch of idiots are doing would be the same as suing the US postal service for somebody sending a ransom note for your kidnapped dog.
But in the end I've come to find Jack Thompson to be annoying as none of his claims have any credibility, his antics have gotten him debarred (and you'd have to fuck up pretty good for that to happen) and I think this is his way of finding a spotlight (that he doesn't quite deserve).

O fucking jeez, he's like a freakin three year old, always blaming others wanting attention. Theres a great Ctrl-Alt-Del strip on him getting raped by a video game as a kid and thats why he's suing the video games industry. Can't find it though.
Its interesting that he even has Facebook, whch comes to show an overly obnoxious and technologically inferior individual has at least a sense to contact the outside world within his bubble of self righetousness.

Haha, I'd love to know the grounds for the lawsuit. Libel? That doesn't really apply in this situation, at least not from that story. Heh, oh well, I doubt even his counsel would take him seriously enough to actually put up a strong front in a case, assuming it isn't thrown out before it even gets to a judge.

I'm not bothered by Jack Thompson, it's hard to get offended/bothered by someone who isn't capable of being taken seriously. After who'd listen to all the crap he spouts out when he pulls ridiculous stunts like that.

Jack Thompson has sued Facebook for allowing anti-Thompson groups to post messages that have caused him "great harm and distress."
One potentially dangerous group that's mentioned in his suit is named "Jack Thompson should be smacked across the face with an Atari 2600." He also cited a message posted by a user who offered to pay $50 to anyone who sent him a video of themselves punching Thompson in the face.
Lol.. he is such a douche..

Wow, seriously, ths guy's a whack.
"In October 2006, Thompson sent a letter to Midway Games, demanding they cease and desist selling the latest game in the Mortal Kombat series, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, claiming that the game was illegally profiting on his likeness, because gamers could use the Kreate a Fighter option to make a character who looked like Jack Thompson. Midway did not cease distribution of the game."

Would anyone ever smack Thompson across the face with an Atari 2600? Of course not. (Those things cost money, you know.) But without context, it looks like a threat; and we, the gamers, end up looking like juvenile idiots or, worse, the violent psychos Thompson has worked so hard to make us out to be. Thompson never learned how to tone it down and it cost him his career. We don't need to make the same mistake.IT COST MONEY
