Jack Thompson, a sub-machine gun?

A week ago, Jack Thompson wrote a open-letter to the industry called A modest video game proposal, requesting that they (we?) should "Target yourselves as you target others. I dare you.". Basicly in this letter he says that he will give $10,000 in charity if any video game company creates and publish the game that he suggests;

"Osaki Kim is the father of a high school boy beaten to death with a baseball bat by a 14-year-old gamer. The killer obsessively played a violent video game in which one of the favored ways of killing is with a bat."

Osaki then sets out on a crusade of vengeance to kill Paula Eibel the fictionous CEO of Take This (very similiar to Paul Eibeler, the CEO of the real company called Take Two) and then further to the E3 expo to kill every developer that is attending there (including those who do non-violent games?).

Now Jack Thompsons credibility seems to be in danger when National Institute on Media & Family writes another open-letter where they clearly states that they got no connection with Jack Thompson and don't support his kind of approaches, yet they even think he's making a bad name of them. Persuading the same goals, doesn't mean that they want to do it by the same means.

A fun little note is that Jack Thompson actually called one of the creators of Penny-arcade web comic, after they sent him a mail;

"10 grand is pretty weak man. Through our charity www.childsplaycharity.org gamers have given over half a million dollars in toys and cash to children’s hospitals all over the country."

Jack response was by personally calling up Gabe and screaming at him on the phone, threating him with a lawsuit.
