Dear Mrs. Zelnick:It's been quite a while since I've written something about good sir Mr. Thompson, but this letter is just... something... to be able to not post about it. Follow the link below to read the rest of it, since the above text was just the warm up for good sir Mr. Thompson.
Your son, as you may know (or maybe you don’t know), is Chairman of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., whose most popular video games are the Grand Theft Auto murder simulator games banned in some countries but sold to children here.
Your son last week was reported to have said the following about Grand Theft Auto IV, due to be released Tuesday, April 29: “We’ve already received numerous [GTA IV] reviews, and to a one, they are perfect scores. My mom couldn’t write better reviews…” Taking your son’s thought, I would encourage you either to play this game or have an adroit video gamer play it for you. Some of the latter gamers are on death row, so try to find one out in the civilian population who hasn’t killed someone yet.
What you will see in your son’s game, if this iteration of GTA is anything like its predecessors, is incredible interactive violence aimed at police officers (whom you can shoot in the head and see the blood spray), innocent bystanders (whom you can run over with your car just for the heck of it), and of course the plentiful female prostitutes you can have sex with and then filet with a knife or stomp with your feet in order to get your money back.
Experts note that the recent plethora of cop killings is caused in part by your darling son’s entrepreneurial energy. There are three policemen dead in Alabama because of Grand Theft Auto. I was on 60 Minutes about it. I hope Strauss has provided you with a flat screen tv to see the grief of the bereaved families that fills the screen.
Jack Thompson sends letter to Take-Two chairman's mom
Jack Thompson, a sub-machine gun?
You don't know Jack about Thompson
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
Prison time for web comic?
Politicians sickens me
I'm OK

Well, I agree, Nioutaik is THE place to go if you read french and want lots of funny geeky news.
Best part must be this:
"Strauss is even marketing the new Grand Theft Auto IV on World Wrestling Entertainment tv shows seen by millions of kids"
Hey! Stop for a second now..
"World Wrestling Entertainment".. Is'nt that violience as entertainment? How can it be wrong to market a violent game in that context? But maybe the violence in wrestling is more suitable for kids, what do I know?
Yeah, I wonder what's most likely, that a kid imitates wrestlers and hurt themself, or beats a hooker to daeth (alt. shooting a cop in the face)? ;)
