Jack Thompson Under Investigation

djflipstarx writes "Jack Thompson, famous anti-videogame lawyer, has found himself in the position of being investigated by the Florida Bar Association after trying to get Penny-Arcade writers Gabe and Tycho arrested. A bunch of people from the Penny-Arcade forums then went and sent letters to the FBA asking for them to check up on Thompson's current actions and review his license to practice law. The fact that even the National Institute on Media and the Family distance themselves from Thompson doesn't help his case either." The lesson here? There are many nerds in the world. Some of them have a posse. Be careful who you pick on.

Mind-numbing as it is, you can find his response at http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000427064233/ Comment #10.

Wow, according to good ol' Jack, Penny-Arcade owns thinkgeek.

Gabe and Tycho are sure going to be surprised...

Wow, so now he's threatening the Bar Association. I'm sure they like that.

He claims that Penny Arcade owns ThinkGeek? That's pretty easily proven false - I'm sure the Bar will really be on his side when they realize how crappy his fact-checking is. Just because they sell their stuff through ThinkGeek doesn't mean they're TG's "parent company".
