The lawyer you hate to hate is up to his old shenanigans. This time, embittered anti-game lawyer Jack Thompson is taking aim at Capcom's Killer 7 for purportedly containing a 'fully-blown sex scene'. It seems that San Andreas and Sims 2 were only the beginning for the much hated anti-game lawyer.Jack Thompson is nothing more than the boy who cried wolf. While his tactics are effective at first, eventually people will get sick of him blowing the whistle on anything that seems inappropriate to him. When they do, he will be left flapping is jaws and wondering why no one is listening to him.
If he wanted to go after GTA and get it an AO rating for the violence, I'd probably be fine with that. Considering the amount of violence in the game, it's not too hard for anyone who's ever played it to say it may be inappropriate for a majority of younger teenagers. Consider, for example, the movie Titanic in which you could see a breast that wasn't a really poor and clunky animation rendered on 5 year old hardware. This movie was rated PG-13. Consider several R rated movies with sex scenes that are more pornographic than the comical and largely unerotic scene in San Andreas.
This is merely the latest Salem witch trial. Eventually the whole thing will blow over. Eventually, Jack Thompson, like Senator McCarthy will go so far over the top that he will lose credibility. I think that this has already happened to an extent when he went after The Sims 2. When he does go, I can honestly say that I won't miss him one bit. Goodbye, moronic fuckwad.
