For those of you who don't know who Jack Thompson is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_(attorney).

These are not small offenses, as Judge Tunis recommended a guilty verdict for, among other things, "knowingly making a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunal," "using means that have no purpose other than to embarrass, delay, or burden a third person," "engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation," and "making statements that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity concerning to the qualifications or integrity of a judge."

Now if only these charges were handed out more often.

Wisely, the Florida Supreme Court has declared that it will no longer accept any filings from the man unless they have been signed by another lawyer.

Is that all he gets?

Edit:
Oh, I see, the charges haven't been finalized. I'll make sure to check again when that time comes.

In other news, Bush got the finger from Congress again. He tried to overrule a farm/foodstamp bill they had overwhelmingly passed (even the GOP guys lol) They vetoed his veto

Honestly this isn't good. There's always someone complaining about games who is loved by ignorant media. Jack Thomspon was so ineffective at it, we should hope he stays there so someone better doesn't take his place.

That's a good point, Loki.

Still want to see the dickhead take a beating, though.

So true. I hate anyone that hates video games.

Every superior person (where it's a fact or just in their head) thinks that what kids do and think of doing affect what they will do and think of doing in the future. AKA all this violence. It IS somewhat true, since most kids get excited and say "Hey! I want to be like him, going around having fun killing people! I'll go try it!" That doesn't go to say that all kids do that, just some. But just saying, anyone who has that shit of a theory needs to kill themselves.

Its just a never ending war of biased facts. Gamers will stick to their guns (such as myself) and non-gamers will stick to theirs.

It was done by the Univertisty of Essex. I just recalled reading about it there. It was in no way done by anyone related to IGN.
