Jack Thompson, next ESRB President?

http://www.dailygaming.net/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=243

I found this article hiding in the forums of the GTA series.
However, no article of this exists on GS.
[Late news I know, sorry about that]

Edit: From what I can tell, neither site sites any sources. So unless they are the source, the "what to believe" question is in the air. Also, please dignify me with a real response if you're going to just state the article as blasphemy.

:cry:

This is fake and old, its not true.Jakster4u

Not only did I point out that it's a few weeks old (from september 12th). It doesn't directly site a source so it could be fabricated. But if it's fake, I'd like you to point that evidence out. You aren't siting sources either.

I'm not jumping to conclusions either way, but isn't it a little hastely to believe him? (or the article in question)

If that were to happen I'd be having a big:

*WTF Moment*

Yeah, I don't know how authentic it is - and I read a few comments about the site producing some irregular articles. I was pointing out how you shot it down. It's the rules of wiki that I use :p. So I guess this'll just be a rumor or plausibly a joke.

Although it seems to be striking at everyones heart.

Then why did you post it?

And..."Bush breaking the law again." *rolleyes* get a life.

ok which game nerd wants to suicide bomb his house...

Sure. Put him in charge. The last time I checked the ESRB was allowed to make recommendations and not mandates on who can purchase video games.

Case in point I'd like him to answer: Halo3 sold a 170 million copies. That's a violent game. And yet, I didn't wake up today to the news of 170 million shootings, murders, and other assorted violent acts.

Final analysis: Bad kids do bad things. Do the video games help? Of course not. But their snapping is due to a multitude of factors and video games are way down, down, down on the list. Ole Jacky is merely opting to select video games to get his own voice heard.

I think that he would become the first Person I would ever kill...The_Tombo

agreed

Funnily enough I would like having Jack Thompson heading the ESRB; less perverted, but high quality games to avoid. Although his insane rants and tirades would be obnoxious to say the least.GIJames248

Umm...I haven't purchased or noticed any highly perverted games hitting the marketplace in decades.

Why couldn't you be one of those random low level/post users that were trolling??? You just had to be a real member with REAL news!

We're no longer friends! :cry:

Jack Thomson will get..."Assassininated" Assassin Creed ****ironically by an insane gamer who's played Grand Theft Auto if he even attempts this...

The person I responded to already had their post fixed.:D

But I'm assuming...

2.8 million sales of we exclude the $130 dollar game and do the math with only the original game.

That's not a lot of buyers!

I was thinking: 170 million 360s sold?

PS3/Wii just got owned if that was the case! Glad to see it was just a minor mistake.:)

IF he does, then say goodbye to M rated video games. Don't worry, God will NEVER let that happen.

Careful...last thing we need to see is Jack seeing this and saying:

"SEE?" *Sounding desperate.*

Great, so now what the hell is going to happen to the gameing industry? Who knew that things like tobacco and alcohol and drugs where just as dangerous as videogames; imagine, our kids oculd be exposed to this every day.

Congratulations, you have been awarded the rank of fear mongerer, you get a cookie

GTA springs to mind and also many other games with extraneous swearing, sexual content, and sadistic violence like God of War (sadism and nudity). I can't think of any other prime examples since I don't own any, but I get tired of reading about awesome games coming out and then reading the ESRB rating for everything under the sun and not being able to buy the game.
