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."

Hot CoffeeGate???

That is the worst bastardization of that suffix that I've ever seen. That is horrible. You should be ashamed of yourself for inventing that. Go sit in the corner RIGHT NOW. If any mass media sees that term and picks it up and runs with it, I expect you to commit ritual suicide.

Jack Thompson is a waste of time

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.
