Jack Thompson vs. Mortal Kombat

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday October 27, 2006 @04:53AM from the fight! dept.

Nate writes to mention the news that Jack Thompson has issued a cease and desist for the new Mortal Kombat:Armageddon title. Says Mr. Thompson: "It has today come to my attention that the newly recently Mortal Kombat: Armageddon contains an unauthorized commercial exploitation of my name, photograph, image, and likeness within the game." Thompson's likeness has appeared on websites in the game over the last few days as a result of his construction in the 'build-a-fighter' mode. His image is not actually a selectable character in the game, a fact he's chosen to skirt in his demands to Midway. If that's not enough Jack Thompson news for today, Game|Life has the video and commentary on Thompson's dressing down by the judge in the Bully case. Video courtesy of the Destructoid site.

Jack Thompson is fabulous! by Anonymous Coward · 2006-10-27 05:00 · Score: -1, Troll

He did a great job in abusing the clueless media (especially Slashdot with its amateurish "journalists") to promote the entire Rockstar product line and now goes on to Mortal Kombat.

Jack Thompson - Hero of the video game industry!

I'd already preorder "Bully", despite it isn't my custome to pay for games.
