President Bush and Lowenstein under fire from disgruntled lawyer - 15.7.05

  Email to a friend



It seems controversial anti-game attorney Jack Thompson is back in the headlines once again. Thompson has recently written an open letter to a long list of Entertainment Software Association members, compromising developers and publishers.

In the letter he launches personal attacks on both U.S. president George Bush and the president of the ESA Doug Lowenstein. Thompson is demanding the replacement of Lowenstein as president of the ESA who he believes has failed to take the appropriate action against violent games.

Quote from the letter:

When Hitler invaded Russia, opening up an Eastern offensive on the eve of winter, Britain'’s Prime Minister Winston Churchill noted that “Hitler must have been rather loosely educated, not having learned the lesson of Napoleon'’s autumn advance on Moscow… Your Doug Lowenstein is similarly '“loosely educated'” about the United States Constitution.'”
