Jack Thompson gets owned twice over, sues

[Praxis]

The first owning:
Jack Thompson gives in to Take Two.
Kotaku says:

According to Game Politics, Take-Two Interactive and frequent tragedy exploiter Jack Thompson have settled their current disputes before going to trial. In March, Take-Two filed a suit in federal court following Thompson's attempts to block the sale of the games Grand Theft Auto IV and Manhunt 2, which was followed by the Miami [expletive deleted] going "Nuh uh" and countersuing the publisher.

The settlement now assures that JT will not: sue or threaten to sue to block sale or distribution of any game published by Take Two or its subsidiaries; communicate to Take Two or anyone doing business with T2 (like, say Wal-Mart) any accusation that the company committed any wrongdoing by selling its games; make any future contacts with T2 unless it's through its attorneys.

That's right; JT can no longer sue or threaten TT's game sales. He can't so much as COMMUNICATE with Take Two's business partners or make accusations against them.

He made this settlement to keep Take Two from tossing him in jail for being in contempt of court and losing tons of money because of Take Two's lawsuit. Too bad, I'd have loved to see him get some jail time. Regardless...


Owning number 2: MSNBC publicly disses Jack Thompson in featured article.

That's right; mainstream media defending video games!

Jack adds Kotaku to his lawsuit, in a terribly worded legal document that sounds like it was written by a small child. Check the link to read.

Pwnage!

Does Jack actually think the FBI will do anything (other than laugh)? No threat was made, at least not in the text he quoted.

I just hope he gets disbarred or thrown in jail for contempt this time around.

Judging by the legal document, we are watching the effects of increasing parania and senility setting in on a lawyer.

You know what would be really funny?

If Jack Thompson got hacked to bits by a dweep in a full black body suit wielding a katana that only has kung-fu movies and no video games at home.

That Raving Psycho said:
78. This was followed with other posts that Thompson should be struck with a baseball bat, shot in the face by an irate gamer, castrated and his testicles stuffed down his throat, and the exercise of other basic "constitutional" rights to advocate violence against an individual........................................................................Not!

He made a 'not' joke in a legal document... that just beggars belief.
