RE: Jack Thompson...

I'm wondering if anyone e-mailed has e-mailed him since the last thread.

I doubt anyone would. And whoever did probably will get a violent response (LOL). Proof is found in the article I linked. It's really absurd how Jack Thompson makes a threat for an e-mail. =/

Mike Krahulik, the artist behind popular gaming culture comic Penny-Arcade and a founder of the hugely successful Child's Play charity, contacted Thompson after he made this offer to point out that Child's Play has raised over half a million dollars for children's hospitals around the USA since its inception.

Commenting on Penny-Arcade.com, Krahulik reports that Thompson proceeded to call him directly - keen, no doubt, to congratulate such a successful fellow organiser of videogaming-related charity efforts.

Or perhaps not. "Jack actually just called and screamed at me for a couple minutes," Krahulik said. "He said if I email him again I will 'regret it'. What a violent man."

You'll also see the same topic on the Penny Arcade website, which was where I encountered the link to that article.

RE: Re: RE: Jack Thompson...

I would post the Penny-Arcade comic and then the ensuing news about it, but P-A is being a bitch and won't load for me for some reason. Server must be down or something.

You'll likely get a response filled with flames or something along the lines, so I'd brace myself. I don't think many people have done this, as they're expecting Jack Thompson to launch some sort of lawyer attack on them. But, you should post his response if you get one. Might as well make the best out of things.

Walsh's letter comes just days after Thompson issued an open letter to the videogames industry in which he outlined his idea for a game where the CEO of fictional company Take This, Paula Eibel, is murdered along with her husband and children. Should any developer agree to make the game, Thompson will donate $10,000 to the charity of choice of Paul Eibeler, the CEO of Take Two

If you're wondering what this "proposal" is, the idea is that Jack Thompson "proposes" a game idea for developers to make and he would donate to a charity selected by Paul Eibel. Within this "proposal", there are many graphic elements taken from known to be violent games. Although these elements really existed, Jack Thompson is still crazy. It's merely another one of his scare tactics used to scare gullible parents into believing him, and these parents are likely the same ones who bought the latest release of GTA for their kids. =/

Fear the return address!

**dontcareaboutmyid** · 10-16-2005, 02:03 PM

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Jack Thompson...

Well if Mr Jack thompson were to return my letter in any threatening way, I would be suing his ass, don't think I won't keep a copy of my letter for myself.

we're talking about a man that holds a masters in law. To think that a teenager of 19 could sue this guy into submission would make me a hero to the gaming world. He wouldn't do anything too stupid

l0lz! (sorry for this outburst)

Scot at www.vgcats.com has basically beaten Thimpson in an email war. It gets pretty funny as you read it.

Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade fame donated $10,000 to charity in Jack Thompson's name after he failed to do so when the video game he asked to be made was completed.

Slap!
