Insensitive? What the Japanese are doing to our kids is insensitive and racist. The Japanese have for a very long time dumped pornography into this country in a fashion they would not tolerate in their own country. It is another version of Pearl Harbor.

GTA is a Sony/Take-Two game. It was made by Take-Two exclusively for Sony's Playstation 2. Sony has led the planet in the distribution of mainstream porn. I don't have time to document it for you. As for the offensiveness of the Pearl Harbor comment, it's accurate and it's needed. The Japanese have a contempt for our culture which is patent. There (sic) dumping of garbage into our culture is a slow motion version of Pearl Harbor.
I love how he doesn't "have time to document" anything for people. Heaven forbid he actually have evidence to support his arguments. What kind of lawyer does that?
I also like how he doesn't deny his statements are offensive, but it's okay because Japan supposedly did it first.
This is just so full of shit and backwards that it's frankly barely worth acknowledging.
Japan dumps pornography into America? Yeah right, more like America sucks pornography out of Japan. Thompson is totally ignoring the factors of importationa and domestic distribution.
And doesn't Sony actually disallow porno games on the PlayStation? I recall that they at least used to. Hell, Japanese porno games are barely even imported and sold in the US.

Well, bring on the tentacle rape then.
I wonder if he has any idea how many one-shot wonders appear on the Japanese manga market involving every possible grotesque fantasy a man could have. On the order of hundreds a year. More ahem... learned men can elaborate, I've just heard this from my brother.

Not only does he not have time to "document anything for us" it would seem he hasn't even got the time to google 'GTA' and see that far from being made "made by Take-Two exclusively for Sony's Playstation 2" it's also available for PC and X-Box.
How can a man this dumb be practicing law? He’s too incompetent to check even the most basic of facts upon which his case stand or fails (this is of course aside from it being illogical bullshit).
I'm going to go with him being a dishonest little shit-fucker rather than being stupid an incompetent. He is counting on the stupidity of many average Joes to swallow his crap. You should realize that most people don't ask for evidence to back up claims: "Oh, he's a lawyer an probably did a lot of research on this. He knows what he's talking about." That he might be a dishonest cunt that's lying to them never crosses their minds. Not to say that Jack Thompson is among the sharperst knives in the worn-out tool pile, far from it...
I'm disgusted that he would use an event such as Pearl Harbor for his little crusade. I'm sure with that mindset he'll proclaim victory when he's unleashed a Hiroshima.
The man lost any credibility long ago, and is demonstrating it wasn't a fluke by any stretch of anyone's imagination.

Thompson calling GTA "pornography" might be in reference to the sex mini-game in GTA: San Andreas.

Just when I thought he couldnt get any more immature or delusional... If he keeps this up, he's bound to break some universal law of conservation of stupidity and then we'll all be screwed.

Nope. The GTA that Sony released was GTAIII, and Wacko Jacko refers to video games as pornography.

They do indeed. Dating simulations still get released, but they're all "clean" versions, minus all CG sex scenes, and occasionally minus some of the more objectionable characters as well.
Wow. That goes beyond stupid. Even if Japan would have been "dumping pornography", how would that have been racist? And how is it the Japanese's fault that your own regional governments doesn't ban the sale of those video games to minors?
I can't believe this guy. Is he really saying that video games is a Japanese effort to destroy the American culture? What The Fuck?! Why is he not in a mental institution??

They do that for more games than just the dating-sims. Vivian in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is supposedly a boy in the Japanese version...
