Jack Thompson Weighs In On Hot CoffeeGate

Gamespot is reporting that Jack Thompson, the anti-gaming crusader, has weighed in on the Rockstar/ESRB situation. His message is, essentially, that the ESA is a criminal organization run by a thug. From the article: "Doug Lowenstein embarrasses each and every one of you when he holds forth about what the 'Founders' intended when they drafted the Bill of Rights [the first 10 amendments to the Constitution]. For Doug, the Founders are GTA's Tommy Vercetti and Carl Johnson. Doug never met a pixilated prostitute he didn't like, and I'm sure James Madison would be impressed."

  1. Jack Thompson is a waste of time by Cornflake917 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This guy does not have a brain. He is personally attacking Doug Lowenstein, who:

    A. Had no say in what got put in GTA:SA.
    B. Did not know anything about Hot Coffee Mod when GTA:SA was released (as far as I know).
    C. Recommended that the game was innappropriate for children under 17. Which is STILL an adequate recomendation.

    Why he isn't attacking the retailers, Rockstar or the hackers, I have no idea. I'm glad Lowenstein didn't respond to Thompson's attacks. The guy is an idiot and only wants to take away people's rights.
