Bell-end of the week: Jack Thompson
Most people who play games and use the Internet will be familiar with Penny Arcade. Those who read Penny Arcade, and pretty much any other site with a focus on games will be well aware of one John ‘Jack’ Thompson.
Jack Thompson, the Miami, Florida based lawyer and utter nutcase, in welching on his promise to donate $10,000 to charity if someone makes and sells a game based on his sick and twisted design, has shown himself to be an untrustworthy liar yet again. Well done Jack, you are this week’s bell-end of the week. You must be proud.
Not only that, but if you read the previous link, Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade donated the $10,000 to charity themselves, in Jacko’s name. Our Jack then promptly faxed the Seattle chief of police with a spin-tastic tale of games that train cop-killers and Penny Arcade’s links to them. The aforementioned link is worth a read, its quite amusing.
Eurogamer also have some coverage of this.
Well done jack, you are an ASSHAT.
