Jack Thompson's Letter To Take-Two Exec's Mother

Posted by timothy on from the an-insult-to-actual-slime-molds-everywhere dept.

debatem1 writes "Apparently, anti-violent-video-games crusader Jack Thompson is at it again, this time writing a letter to the mother of Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two, the company that produces the GTA series of video games. In it he compares Zelnick to a member of the Hitler Youth, advocates beating the young Zelnick, and contemplates the existence of a Ted Bundy merit badge for boy scouts."

    I fully advocate a good old fashion beating for this Jack Thompson character. When you bring a guy's mother into you're making it personal.

    I don't know how you got modded funny at all. It's not funny, and I don't know if you intended it to be.

    Please don't mistake me for the rapidly dwindling 30% that still approve of this asshat either.

    If I were you, I would actually send the letter.

    I am not quite sure what Jesus Christ really did. I suspect he was badly misrepresented by the Church to serve needs of various ruling elites, including present US government, for thousands of years.

    However, if you claim to follow Garry Kasparov, you better be a good chess player. If you claim to follow Jesus, you better show inborn and consistent aversion to violence, spend time talking to prostitutes and tax collectors and avoid judging others. Otherwise, be proud of your own life choices, but do not claim to be someone you are not.
