Jack Thompson Disbarred!!!


"Is it finally game over for Florida lawyer and violent video game opponent Jack Thompson? Judgment has been entered in the case that started last year and came to a head when Judge Dava Tunis recommended permanent disbarment for the bombastic, showboating law man. The court has approved the report and has ordered that JT is official disbarred as of 30 days from today."

More good news is that EA are being sued due to the software placed in SPORE, which they are planning to put in FIFA and other games.

The lawsuit is, however, pretty iffy. For such a lawsuit to be successful, you have to prove harm. Proving annoyance doesn't cut it

The wiki link pulled up a bunch of nothing, like it had been censored.

The lack of the ) in that link above meant it took you somewhere else.

WoW, weird... I just read half the link but you're right. Hmmmm

Edit: Sorry 'bout that. Thanks Aragorn.

In sending documents to opponents, Thompson would frequently attach a photocopy of his driver's license, with a photo of Batman pasted over his own, just to make sure they knew who they were dealing with. Thompson said, "I have sent my opponents pictures of Batman to remind them I'm playing the role of Batman. Just like Bruce Wayne helped the police in the movie, I have had to assist the sheriff of Broward County." He also wore a Batman wristwatch.

someone do us a favour and chuck some acid on him...

So Jack Thompson's rogues gallery would be who? Max Payne, Agent 47, Master Chief, Samus Aran, Simon Belmont, Mega Man, M. Bison, Sub-Zero and Mario?
