According to this GamePolitics note, good ol' JT wrote an angry letter (he doesn't know how to write other kinds of letters, anyway) to Take-Two Chairman, Strauss Zelnick, complaining about the inclusion of a lawyer in an early mission of GTA IV, which he insists is a reference to him.

He says Take-Two has until 5 PM this Friday to let him know about the deletion of such content......or else. :shock:

The technical term is called clinical paranoia

If there is a character based off him, the character should die in the most humiliating way possible.

[spoiler] It's a lawyer that Niko is sent to kill in the very first mission of the game. Reportedly, once Niko pulls out his gun on him, the lawyer calmly says something to the effect of - "I'm not afraid. Guns don't kill people, videogames do." [/spoiler]

Anyway, after all the grief Jackie-boy gave to Rockstar, this is the least they can do to make fun of him. If anything, he's quite a character.

HELLO! Spoiler! Jeez...

I don't see why they wouldn't be allowed to do put that content into the game in the first place. They do it in movies all the time. They are called spoofs.

I'd love to wipe that idiotic smirk off his face someday.

I have dealt with Thompson, and I can tell you all, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the man is clinically insane. I'm not even kidding.

i think they should redo the entire plot of GTA IV personally. The new focus should be the downfall and eventual demise of the dastardly Thack Jompson.

This guy really love to hear his own voice. I think that JT is starting to get a nervous breakdown, real people are after him and fiction people are after him. Get a life you narcissistic idiot.

I wouldnt be surprised if its all an act, and Jack just gets a kick out of starting things over nothing.

With all the spam he has sent to gaming companies, he deserves some payback. If this was happening in Australia, we would applaud the satire.
