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."

      Except the people on Slashdot. Most of them are Unix.

    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.

    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.
