    Do remind yourself people Jack Thompson is A LAWYER. It is his job. This is his way of making the million.


    Anyway the article was hilarious.

    Video games systems like Nintendo’s “Playstation” are marketed at kids.

    Hahah, love it.

    Anyway, best part of the article is:
    Video games systems like Nintendo’s “Playstation” are marketed at kids. Outwardly they appear to be cube-like toys with a fat child-friendly carying handle.

    This persuades me that video games are sins. Nintendo's Playstation intenionally aimed their controllers towards kids that may gain weight while playing their games by making their controllers ABLE TO BE HELD BY FAT KIDS.

    God have mercy on the plus sized Wii.

    "Like cartoons, video games are intended as children’s entertainment, but unlike cartoons video games often include dangerously adult themes"

    This person is just crazy. What she doesn't realize is that unlike cartoons... Games have a rating system where most of these violent games you need to be an adult to play.

    "It will hardly come as a surprise that Jack discovered that the tragic incident at Columbine high-school was also caused by video game nudity"

    BNUAHHAHAA. I never laughed so hard in my entire life.

    I love how easy it is to blame everything on video games. People just want to blame the first thing that comes to mind. I know for a fact that I could NEVER learn to shoot a gun from a video game... why? Because shooting a gun takes more than just aiming on the screen and pressing a button.

    There is no point and even arguing with these people. They are way to stubborn.

    BTW... the best part of the article is reading the comments

    "you are funny. it is very curious to see what people like you think. it is especially entertaining when i consider that you actually believe the stuff you write."

    HAHA!!! Good stuff

    I am so bookmarking this. Whenever I get depressed, I'll just come read this article.

    By the way, is this for real, or is it like The Onion or something?

    Not sure. I'm guessing that it is. I found it on some other forums.

    I just couldnt help commenting. I found it so utterly hilarious how twisted this lady is. God, I hope she has forums.

    This may be totally off topic but...OH MY GOD! CREAMY IS POSTING AGIAIN!!!

    *Edit* Awww, take a look at "Gods Hitlist". I'm pretty sure its fake now, but its still a comedy goldmine.
