Manhunt Murder Attorney Speaks

Posted by Zonk on from the i-thought-lawyers-were-supposed-to-be-mannerly dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Kotaku has an exclusive interview with game hating attorney Jack Thompson -- sort of. Actually it's a pretty funny, and telling, email back and forth between Kotaku's editor and Thompson that seems to reflect his disdain for gamers. Love the kicker - what an ass." The pleasant Mr. Thompson has been discussed previously on the site.

    I'm going to have to call fake. I doubt a real attorney would even bother to answer that email. Plus have you ever seen a lawyer be so concise in their writing?

      If they are not billing for it, they are going to be very concise. When they are billing they are going to be lengthy which comes from the old English tradition that lawyers, when writing contracts, were paid by the word.

    From: Jack Thompson [jackpeave@comcast.net]

    Slipped and hit 'v' instead of 'c', otherwise nice fake
