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."

  2. Screenshots of nude cheat by Nelson+Minar · · Score: 3, Informative

    I just made some screenshots of enabling the nude cheat in Sims 2. Here, see for yourself. The only thing there is some disturbingly asexual smooth models.

    I realize that it's hip to bash on Americans these days--especially if one is an American. Hell, I've done it. But in this case, it's not America that has the problem, it's one asshole lawyer from Florida: Jack Thompson

    Do a google search for him.

    Jack isn't just against nudity, mind you. He's out to convince everyone that video games are a direct product of satan himself. He deplores pretty much every aspect of video games, and isn't afraid to link pretty much anything to them. It won't be long now, and he'll be telling us that games cause cancer and explosive diarrhea.

    I can't believe it, but for once, I'm actually rooting for the evil empire.
