Jack Thompson against GTA IV, as expected

Quote:
Contained within an email from Thompson were promises to keep this "murder simulator for violence against women, cops, and innocent bystanders" out of the hands of children by contacting "state and federal officials" to warn of the game's immediate danger. Though no immediate threats were made towards Take Two or Rockstar Games, we're sure the fireworks will really start going off by the time GTA IV drops April 29 -- which just happens to be around the same time the outcome of Thompson's Florida Bar trial will be decided.

And it looks like his Bar Trial may be delayed until spring. But at least he's getting asked about some of his questionable actions.

for the longest time i thought he was dead. Either from the fact that the last time i saw him he look like a dog turd left on the pavement in the sun way too long, or because of all of the death threats he got from the Whole Penny-arcade jumble. Either way, nothing this guy does is going to affect this game being released. Rockstar survived the Hot Coffee bullcrap, they can survive this.
