Jack Thompson Sends Subpoena to Bush
Ariastis writes "Jack Thompson has filed documents with a federal court in Florida requesting to subpoena President George W. Bush for a deposition to retain Thompson's license to practice law. Ah, and Jeb Bush too, for good measure."
fuck niggers
heads on! apply directly to the forehead!
And a good chunk of the media as well.
It's no coincidence that companies like Disney and Rockstar gang up on the few people that dare to stand up for values that are so fundamental to the working of our society. They are in the business of making money through the spread of violence, hip hop and pedophelia to the lesser minded people.
I hope that Jack Thompson wins, not only this battle but the entire war. Else, it might be worth thinking about kicking out the democrats and their valued pedophile constituents back to New York and then going our own way.
Congratulations!!
As you can see from my user number, I've been around a while, and I've seen some really lame stories posted here. But this one is execptional in its worthlessness.
"News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters." Anyone else remember when that was "News for Nerds ON THE Stuff that Matters?" A subtle change but taking out the "on the" would seem to allow the site to post stories that have nothing to do with geek interests anymore, as long as it's "stuff that matters" - basically opening the door for any story that the editor thinks "matters" regardless of how irrrelevent it is to nerd interests.
But I digress. This story is stupid and uninteresting. The editorial introduction to the story posted above is completely unhelpful in describing the relevent details of the story (who is this Jack Thompson person? Am I just supposed to know which of the thousands of Jack Thompsons in the world this person is or why I should care about them?).
To save you some time (although if you're still reading this post clearly your time isn't that important to you): the Jack Thompson in question was one of the lawyers involved in the case in which "an 18-year old in Alabama was allegedly under the influence of Grand Theft Auto when he murdered two police officers and a police dispatcher in 2004". I guess his relationship to a gaming-related trial is what makes this "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters." Aside from that, the article is just an explanation about how he's trying to subpoena a bunch of seemingly ireelevent people to support his case against being disbarred for conduct in that case. Don't bother reading the story. It is pretty uninteresting.
One could try to say that this is relevent to gaming, but it really isn't. The case was relevent, its outcome was relevent. This dude going off the deep end after the trial in a way that has nothing to do with gaming, is certainly not.
NetBSD user Best. Individuals Overly 8orbid and
Is Fred Thompson a Nerd? No. Is Bush? No. Nerds don't do Cocaine. This isn't Nerd News.
