14 DAY TRIAL // If you haven't yet heard of Jack Thompson, lawyer (though I doubt it if you're a GTA fan), he's the guy suing Take Two Interactive for wanting to release GTA IV and Manhunt 2. And keep in mind that GTA IV hasn't even a trailer that we can see (the timer still shows 10 days and about 7 hours to go before launch) and I repeat, that's the trailer, not the game. Anyway, Thompson practically "prayed" for Take Two to sue him thus enabling him (so he says) to conceive a scheme to bring them down. In his last email to the press, the upset lawyer used biblical terms to express his discontent in regards to the release of these violent games.
"I have been praying, literally, that Take-Two and its lawyers would do something so stupid, so arrogant, so dumb, even dumber than what they have to date done, that such a misstep would enable me to destroy Take-Two. With the filing of this SLAPP lawsuit last week, my prayers are finally answered."
Do I have to even ask what you think? Continuing with his threats to bring 'em down, Thompson encourages people to read Psalm 35 of the Bible, (Psalm of David), as it resembles everything he is doing with this lawsuit. He even goes and pastes the Psalm, as you probably imagined. Go ahead, check it out and make the connections. That is if you even care. Ending his email, he says: "Amen, and Praise be to God Almighty, maker of Heaven, Earth, and yes, the maker even video games." Need I say more?
What Thompson doesn't realize is that in doing this, he himself is breaking one of God's 10 commandments. "Thou shall not commit murder." I think I'm speaking for everyone here: "Jack, You're killing us!"
