  1. They'll ignore him by NineNine · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I'm sure that Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. 1. Consulted their attorneys. 2. Their attorneys told them to ignore him and that 3. If he does file a lawsuit, they'll counter-sure for slander, and the judge will more than likely slap the initial idiot with a charge for filing frivolous lawsuits. Nothing will come of it. There are lots of wackos that file all sorts of wacko lawsuits every day. Most are without merit, and are certainly not news.

    Now, how about a good review of the game...?

  2. Jack Thompson makes me feel violent. by Lord+Kano · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Seriously, I want to pound him into a bloody puddle.

    Maybe I should sue him for inspiring me to commit an act of violence.
