Jack Thompson makes me giggle.

Well, there are quite a few things to talk about, or start of talking about anyway. Sadly, I don't have anything articulate to actually say. I am just going to be a link-whore for now, if that is alright. In a few weeks these links might be all but broken. But right now, they are up and running and that is all that matters.

And, on a lighter note, I feel completely violated right now by how bad of a person people can actually be. You would think (and maybe that is asking too much for some), that a person who says video games make people violent would indeed not be violent himself (or herself, depending on who we are exactly talking about). Alas, I am foiled by logic yet again. Confound you, logic!

With many thanks to machall.com, vgcats.com, and penny-arcade.com for informative links on the good ol’ Jack Thompson:

Thanks to VGCats for really showing us Jack’s aggressive tendencies.

Again, I want to put my thanks out to these people for doing such an extraordinary job on showing how bad Jack Thompson actually is. I am thoroughly enjoying all of the publicity Jack Thompson is creating, if only for the fact that somebody so ridiculous is being heard and being listened to as if he were an EXPERT. Of course, at the same time, it is sad to realize people actually believe him.

*Sigh.

I’m out for the night. Later.
