Jack Thompson Rescinds Offer

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday October 17, 2005 @06:15AM from the alter-ego dept.

Goalmaster3000 writes to tell us Joystiq.com is reporting that Jack Thompson has rescinded his offer of a $10,000 donation to charity if a video game were made to fit his model. Recently a group of GTA modders cooked up a scenario to fit the bill but apparently Thompson is claiming that his piece 'A Modest Video Game Proposal' was intended as satire that the video game community was not bright enough to grasp. Perhaps Thompson was just afraid he was going to have to sue himself? Update: 10/17 20:02 GMT by SM: It appears that the Penny Arcade crew has taken the next step by donating the promised $10,000... in Jack Thompson's name.

CaptainFork, you are a fucking moron.

PS. Note that I'm neither the OP nor the 14yo kid, so my calling you a fucking moron won't affect their arguments.
