Default Jack Thompson loses another case; still misses point.

In the initial ruling, the judge requested Take-Two to show him the game Bully. They came back, showed him a tape of the game footage, and he said something like "you could easily see something like that when you turn on the TV." He allowed Bully to be released this coming Tuesday.

But this doesn't silence Jack Thompson.

This is an interesting letter. He insults the judge himself, saying he dismissed the case too soon.

The hilarious point of this is during this letter, he mentions the very CORE of the argument about violence in video games and totally misses the entire point!

You said after being shown what Take-Two wanted you to see that "I've seen worse." Judge, that is not the issue. The issue is whether this game, played by ten-year-olds, whom the FTC says can still walk into Wal-Mart and other retail establishments and buy "Mature" games, will harm them and innocent third parties who get in their way. You are not the measure of the harm. It was your job to let me try to prove the harm. But you didn't want to hear it.
Oh, ten year olds can play M games! Gee, I wonder whose fault that is?

THE PARENTS.

THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS. THE PARENTS.
