The Crusade of Jack Thompson

[W00CKEY]

Good video. You should have your own tv channel;-)

[paulspydar]

Why would anyone against violence especially a lawyer and a religious one at that want to ban Video games and not guns!?

[nerftendo005]

I find it funny how he blames every school shooting on Counter Strike, and he blames GTA for crime, when crime came FIRST. What's he going to do next, blame Modern Warfare 2 and sue Infinity Ward as soon as a shooting occurs at an airport?

[dtpheif]

@nerftendo005 hey mw2 came out, and no one shot up an airport.....YET! no im joking, if someone does, it wont be mw2 fault

[nerftendo005]

@dtpheif Yeah, terrorism came into reality before it came into video games. Plus, if someone is stupid enough to mimmick ANYTHING they see, then it's their problem.

Jack Thompson claimed that "dozens" of people played video games and then committed crimes, when MILLIONS of people play violent games on a regular basis. 12 is only about 0.00001% of 1,000,000. So we should ban games because 0.00001% of people play them and then commit crimes? Ridiculous.

[19peter96]

@nerftendo005 Plus most of those crimes wern't related to games or gamers anyway. I bet Jack Thompson thinks that if you go to a terrorist training camp in the middle east they just let you play counter strike for a few weeks...

[nerftendo005]

@19peter96 Yeah, if he really believes what he's saying, then he most likely believes that. In fact, he blamed the DC sniper incident on Halo, claiming that a terrorist used the game to trick a kid into killing people. Ridiculous.

[nerftendo005]

If any adult was really stupid enough to mimic things in video games, wouldn't he/she mimic things in movies as well? Why does Jack focus completely on video games? They're not simulators, that's just a bunch of crap that he made up. Pressing buttons on a controller is nothing like cocking, reloading, aiming, and firing guns in real life. So what if you control what a character does on screen? That doesn't make it realistic, or at least not anywhere near enough to be classified as a "simulator".

[snake2006]

Yep, he has got no law licesne, he lost that at the end of October thanks to a ruling back in September 2008.

He just likes to think he is a big man, by still speaking out.

But even the senators from Utah have told him to fuck off.

Good old Jack, always good for some amusement.

[deora2dude]

a little more enthousasm would help, good work though i see allot of good techniques used here, the brittish accent helps too!

[snake2006]

No,

Used to be anti video game lawyer.

Now, he is just Jack Thompson, bared attorney and all around crazy lunatic that still raves like a chicken with it's head cut off

[sonicspeed011]

are you sure? because he's back with more of his shit

[hollow334]

he recently sent a message to Obama to ban video games in the America, thats how much of a asshole jack is.

[br000ly]

very well made

[beni1011]

man i sure do love using my gravity gun! did i mention that i trained off of Microsoft flight simulator to cause 911? wait!doom did cause world war 2 right?

[Crushilista]

GARANADE! lol

[Fubs]

This was for college??? I assume you failed yes?

[Eggheadcheesybird]

No.

Thank you, low standards of education.

[Antisyncretism]

grow up guys just a rant

[Leidenspfad]

1:00 - 1:25 HAHAHA genious.

[2POWERFUL]

Trivia, the WMMT players in HK can get nasty if your mess with their records or pwn them several times.

I don't know what's their problem but they should please be nice.

And Don't think about suing NAMCO Jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CougarLeon]

He won't... there's no money in suiing Namco, it's all Rockstar games and Microsoft.

[2POWERFUL]

Whew, good news, hehe. And I think Jack Thompson needs a got to the "Asylum".

[masteryoca13]

John B. Thompson - Unverified listing

[Hippy777]

[minxado]

lol

[darthmechis]

Well done.

[xsvmaster]

Want thompson's number, address, I got it, just mail me, and I'll give you the link, NOT SPAM!

[ThisIsGonnaBeCool]

omg ban mario it encourages zoophillia (humping turtles and stuff) ban mario bros. it teaches you to go on a turtle rampage while cleaning the sewers ban sonic the hedgehog it promotes animal to animal spin dash killing spree and speeding. ban space invaders it promotes satellite interruption and ban pole position its a speeding simulator and ban tennis on atari it promotes a harsh sport simulator

[ThisIsGonnaBeCool]

man, i was good

[darkmccloud]

You win

[ThisIsGonnaBeCool]

thenks

[danplaz]

I think he is crossing the line. Video games althought it has it's risk doesn't mean that is the main reason. What is he thinking? He turned from a disturbed attorney to a total jerkface. If he lived in my country, he could see things differently (games are no reason for deliquency).

[LordToon]

I say if he wants to Ban Video Games then he has to ban ALL:

Ban Pac-Man because it promotes Demonic Spiritism. Ban Dr. Mario because it promotes Drug Usage. Ban Donkey Kong because it promotes Animal Cruelty. Hell, Ban Trtris because it has sharp edges...

Jack Thompson's an idiot!

[zues1111v]

honestly i wont jack Thompson to use his brain people kill people not GTA is just a game it can not force yo to kill it dose not put a gun in your hand dose it. i wont the opportunity to meet jack face to face and kik him square in the balls.

[Aitamen]

DOWN WITH JACK THOMPSON

[BoomyXialijian]

I want YOU to use your brain and learn to spell.

[wickersham]

TROGDOR!!!

oya and jack thompson sucks balls

[ibomidablehonky]

i really wish Jack Thompson would just shut up about mario causing the gang violence and press current issues like gasoline

[deoshi]

someone should make a vid for jack and show a bunch of video game clips of people gettin there heads blown off LOLZ!

[smroWfonaC]

Jack Thompson is an asshole. Not only is he completely braindead outside of his fantasy "gaming is the lead cause of human extinction and possibly global warming" crusade in his world, but he claims to be pro christain but he REFUSED to donate $10,000 to charity after "I'M OK" was made. Thompson is a fucktard. I would personally have donated the money myself if I was old enough and I had enough money, but sadly I am not. DOWN WITH THOMPSON!

[Wolfpawz555666]

Someone else did actually donate the money and signed the check as "Because Jack won't"

You could probably google it, I don't remember all the details.

<i>-Stephy Wolf</i>

[smroWfonaC]

I know the story. Penny Arcade donated the money.

[wzpcorporation]

you guys are bad ass were do i sign!?

[ShadowPhoenix142]

Jack Thompson is a total dick and dumb fuck. he needs to die and be burned 8 times to ensure he is never re-encarnated. he needs to be killed and then sealed to hell!!!!!

[leonkubik]

Jack Thompson says that I'm "The spawn of satan himself!" because I played Majora's Mask on the Nintendo 64.

[Firefret30003]

very well documented

I'm gonna start a petition to have jack thompson thrown into a volcano!

[stenmk5]

Good video man! I agree with what that guy said. I get out ALOT of violenc eon Resident Evil games. I'v NEVER been in a fight.....like never.

[JackassThompson]

Jack Thompson tried to have gay relationships with a kangaroo, but the kangaroo kicked him in the rig gonad which exploded and that's why he acts like this today

[DudeManGuy1019]

That explains a lot

[KillerCarebear]

Just to let you know, Jack thompson made the $10,000 offer to a charity if someone made the game. When the game was made, Jack said his proposal was satire and didn't pay to the charity. Because of this, the guys from the Webcomic Penny Arcade actually donated to the charity that Jack ignored with "For Jack Thompson, Because Jack Thompson Won't." written on the memo of the check.

[wesleyt105]

all arguements to video game violence die the moment you realize that kids killed before video games where around

[Magniloquent]

That's a fair point, but then by having videogames that glorify gun culture and then making guns widely availible (in America), to children, it doesn't exactly help the matter. Basically, most violent films don't actually condone their violent content. Videogames do.

[kickyourass77]

You know what lets ban violent video games. To be fair lets also ban violent books *bible*, violent movies *passion of the christ*. Yeah lets do that and see how Jack Thompson feels about banning entertainment products. The dipshit. I play video games *violent ones* and I don't kill people.

[kevinlambert]

are you outside gamestation at 3:11 ??

[NAMEMEPLEASE]

thank u very much for insulting jack thompson

[BryyMillerson]

I love the crappy backdrops.

[Eggheadcheesybird]

Wrong video?

[BryyMillerson]

No, I was reffering to the shades.

[Gorygamer56]

Thank you that was very good. Although I believe in England citizens aren't permitted to have guns so even somebody was influenced by a game then there's no way they could perpetrate these acts outside the video game.

[Magniloquent]

I'm sure we could all be inventive and think of alternative ways to kill everyone. I mean, you may not have guns but you've got cheese graters, rolling pins, a kettle and a chainsaw. They're all legal.

[deathwing107]

You can kill someone with a simple ball-point pen. Ever see Bourne Identity? Although he didn't kill the guy, he did stab him in the hand with it (it was painful to watch when he pulled it out, ouch).

[kickyourass77]

Criminals can get guns other ways like people do with Marijuana. The criminal organizations love gun control because they benefit. This makes citizens vulnerable and easier prey. Gun Control does not help citizens but hurts them.

[runkaballe]

so with that logic people in England should die all over the place, they dont and they have no school shootings.

[Eggheadcheesybird]

Well...a big part of that is we don't have guns.

At least, middle class white schoolkids don't.

[aarondirebear]

Which explains all the knifings.

Keep up the good work guys, you have great voices for speakinG and you speak the truth!

[robuk1981]

@runkaballe Yes we do we had one in 1996

[landpirate333]

its meeeeeee

:D

tom beats me :(

"The Truth About Violent Youth and Video Games" http://www.gamerevolution.com/­oldsite/articles/violence/viol­ence.htm

[snake2006]

Yes, I do know that it was originally not a real game.

But now it is.

It is calle I'm O.K.

Honest, download it and try it.

Here is a link

http://imokgame.com/

[ganstaman56]

and its not a real game!!!! it was created as a joke!!! Jack said (as sarcasm) that he would pay rockstar or somethin 10,000 $$ if they would make a game about a guy killin the game executives!!! and they did. fo some reason. kinda dumb going thru all dat trouble just to mock some asshole!! and then he said he wasnt gonna pay!! someone should make a game where you have to find and assasinate that bastard!! if he tries to sue then they got the defence that he made a game where you killed them!!

[Magniloquent]

When Richard kills Elliot with the controller. So funny.

[Magniloquent]

I reckon Jackie should be put through a meat grinder. So we can all watch his intestines spray everywhere and indulge in the viewing of seeing a liver being carved into five seperate pieces.

[WiiLad]

Looking at you, maybe he's right!

Nah, what am I saying?

[snake2006]

Also, there were 2 games made based on Thomspon's Modest Game Propoasl.

First was by a group of modders called The Flying Hellfish (Grandpa Simpson's Unit in WW2)

The next one is made by a group who called themselves Thompsonsoft. Created a game called I'M OK, which follows his game ideal perfectly.

Good game, download it and try it. (It's free)

[ganstaman56]

yep he's a real peaceoholic isnt he? dude it's a game where you KILL fuckin game executives!!! he's a fuckin idiot!! he's pissed about GTA but then he gets this game made where he kills game executives!!!!

[snake2006]

Jack Thompson DID NOT GET HIS LICENSE REVOKED.

Only got it revoked in Alabama, he still has the license to practice Law in Miami, Florida

[Eggheadcheesybird]

It's a good job we were marked on sound quality and not research accuracy then.

[snake2006]

It's ok.

I am not a fan of Thompson's.

But I do find him funny, because he is a nut job
