Jack Thompson Calls The Feds On PA

Gamespot is reporting that Jack has taken his beef to the Feds regarding the dangerous pixelantes over at Penny Arcade. From the article: "In a letter addressed to John McKay, US Attorney for the Western District of Washington, and sent to media outlets, Thompson this morning said the site was using a variety of means 'to encourage and solicit criminal harassment' of him. Thomspon wrote to McKay, 'Please help me if you can,' but did not include specific actions he wished to have taken against the site. McKay's office prosecutes cases investigated by several law enforcement agencies in Western Washington, including the FBI." PvP is also running a parody indicating that Jack has appealed to the Justice League for assistance with Gabe and Tycho.

    "Penny Arcade, by means I choose not to specify because that would be really dumb to do right now, given what will be distribution of this information, have intentionally orchestrated death threats and other harassment toward me. I'll provide the proof, some of which these folks don't know I have, to the charging authorities. That's as specific as I want to be given to whom I am ulimately[sic] speaking. I'm not as dumb as I look."

    "I'm not as dumb as I look." -Jack Thompson

    Well, at least he admits that he looks dumb. Although, in the pictures I've seen, it looks more like he's stoned...

    He's got the shittiest pair of rose-colored-glasses I've ever seen.

    Obviously, they must instead be manure-tinted glasses. They make everyone and everything look like fertile ground for lawsuits.

    Yes! Absolutely, help him! Refill his meds and make sure he actually takes them and doesn't spit them down the sink again!

    I wish that the Florida Bar would settle this. I mean, we get Thompson and Penny-Arcarde together, give Penny-Arcade the Florida Bar and let them beat the crap out of him with it.
