Jack Thompson Names Kotaku as Defendant in Latest Suit

Well, Wacky Jacky is back at his old antics again. He filed an amended complaint in one of his many pending lawsuits today, in which he added Gawker Media and Kotaku.com as defendants. I’m not going to cite the entire legal document for you (I read it, and trust me, none of you should have to), but I will quote this, since it shows exactly how Jack’s mind works. “What followed this screed by Mr. Crecente at Kotaku.com, owned and operated by Gawker Media, was a rather stunning but predictable response from the bloggers who are video game industry lemmings who are attracted like moths to a flame at Kotaku.com.” First off, I believe that rather than bloggers, he means commenters. Second, to describe fans of games as lemmings is just funny. Video game fans may be the harshest critics of their chosen medium. Thompson even specifies in the complaint that he wants a jury trial, which sounds suspiciously like, “I want to make all the defendants incur travel costs so high that they’ll have to settle with me.”
My best wishes to Gawker Media and Kotaku as they battle Wacky Jacky. Hopefully, you guys will beat him down (if it ever sees the inside of a courtroom) and shut him up.
Ahhh Jack. You still have a long way to go before you become as kooky as Rosie O’Donnell thought.
I swear he just sees this industry as his cash cow. He runs low on funds after spending it on the obviously large amount of crack he puts up his nose, he goes and sues another company and hopes they settle so he can score a few more kilos.
He’s just angry that he was never able to beat Super Mario Brothers like the rest of his friends so he’s taking it out on us gamers who have hand eye coordination.
I think its just he just never got enough attention as a child when he DID actually beat some kind of video game…now that he’s older, he’s getting back at all the ppl who are making money doing this kinda stuff!
Does this idiot even know what he is doing anymore? I mean come on, he is trying to take down the entire industry bit by bit. Gaming is one of the many popular forms of media, its here to stay.
