Thompson Goes After Sims 2 Nudity

Posted by Zonk on from the argh-my-brain dept.

magicbond_007 writes "Miami lawyer Jack Thompson is at it again, this time with something above and beyond absurd. Gamestop is reporting that Thompson has accused The Sims 2 of contain obscene material. From the article: 'In the statement, Thompson says, "Sims 2, the latest version of the Sims video game franchise ... contains, according to video game news sites, full frontal nudity, including nipples, penises, labia, and pubic hair."' At this rate kids won't be able to play Mario because Princess Peach is dressed too slutty."

    I am boycotting this author for his obscene usage of the word penis in sexual situations, won't somebody think of the children?! He's exposing them to suggestive language thats even worse than pictures!

  3. Attack on barbies? by Punboy · · Score: 3, Funny

    I have the feeling, based on his barbie and ken comments towards the end, that he is going to attack the entire Barbie line next. No, its not a bloody admission that "ken and barbie features" shouldn't be displayed, its put there for comical value. Its funny to see things blurred out.

      Ken just helps men with small penises to not be such a shock when a woman first sees it. After all if they are use to seeing Ken, even a small one should be enough.

      Well then, the incredible hulk is certainly no friend of (y)ours:

    From the article:
    "'This is no different than what is in San Andreas, although worse.'"

    So somehow it's worse without actually being any different? I'm confused...

    for I second I thought that said "Dave Thomas". Thank god it's not; it would be horrible to hear about the founder of a fast food chain being resurected and going after anyone, even if it is EA. Remember kids: zombies are never fun to play with.

    A guy of his caliber probably restricts his own access to his nipples, penises, labia, and pubic hair.

    Otherwise, how else would he be such a shining beacon of moral righteousness and overall upstanding citizenry? We must all repent; We're not worthy.

    I hear these so called 'skins' are only the tip of the iceberg.

    There's an evil communist open-source program known as 'The GIMP' (coincidental naming? I think not!) which allows users to directly create images depicting sexual intercourse, paedophilia and more! Clearly, we must move to ban this insufferable cesspool!

    While we're at it, I have been informed by my crack team of sleuths that a binary application using the name 'Word' allows the writing of....

    etc etc ad nauseum. Gotta love the whole 'EA is doing nothing' angle. Cos you know - they clearly control Teh Interwebs.
