Update on Jack Thompson

[Guest]

"Ironically, Thompson's "source" for the Sims 2 controversy
is none other than GTA modder illspirit of GTAGarage.com
[16]. Illspirit was among the same team that found and
developed the GTA Hot Coffee mod and posted it on the web.
In an attempt to divert attention away from the Hot Coffee
scandal, illspirit tried an experiment by pretending to be
an anonymous "non-gamer" and provided links to Thompson of
games which also contained sexual content. These games included
the Sims 2, God of War, BMX XXX, and Playboy: The Mansion.
Thompson took the bait and immediately launched an attack
against the ESRB and Electronics Arts."


Apparently they picked one of the most innocent games possibly, on
purpouse, to trap him, and he just refuses to see it... this gets
better and better

It doesn't, actually. I can assure you Thompson won't be the only one
to "not get it." Attorneys and legislators won't either, and I'm sure
right now in the U.S. government there are pens wiggling on paper
proposing new legislation, taking this very seriously.

Never underestimate the stupidity of elected officials.
