Jack Thompson Goes Head-to-Head - 6.6.05

  Email to a friend



1UP.com has a feature focusing on violence in video games, in which Jack Thompson, the outspoken and sensationalist anti-game lawyer goes head to head with professor Henry Jenkins, who doesn't buy into the view that exposure to violent games alone can make a violent individual.

Of course, Thompson steals the show from the more reasoned Jenkins by describing games as the "mental molestation of children with murder simulators" and his comparison of E3 head Doug Lowenstein to Saddam Hussein (seriously).
