Comedy Gold!
Man. I've already devoted two (?) blog entries to Jack Thompson, which even on this remote little blogpost on the edge of nowhere is more exposure than he probably deserves. But the guy has been given plenty of rope, and his hanging all credability he might have had - so who am I not to allow him this luxury?

I just wonder what the likelihood of any of this making it to the maintream press will be? He's alienating his allies, painting himself as a soldier in the trenches of WWII battling the Nazis (the entire game industry is apparently Nazis), and calling himself a "footsoldier of God." But in the meantime he's probably still gonna get more slots on 60 minutes labeling all games "murder simulators."

Oh, well. I've already voiced my opinion on the matter. I question if some games should even be played by ADULTS. But call me crazy, I kinda believe in giving people their freedom to choose. If I think my daughter can handle watching (or reading, even better!) The Fellowship of the Ring, that should be my call, not a government's.
