Jack Thompson Not Impressed Over Rockstar Gag - 22.9.05

  Email to a friend



WWW.CITIZENSUNITEDNEGATINGTECHNOLOGY.ORGAnti-game lawyer Jack Thompson's crusade against Rockstar Games has earned himself a spot in the viral-marketing campaign for Grand Theft Auto for the PSP, and as you'd expect he's not best pleased about it.

The official website for GTA: Liberty City Stories includes the mock "Inbox" of a reporter at the fictional Liberty Tree newspaper that you can browse through.

One of the spoof emails is a not so subtle parody of Thompson; it's from a JT@citizensunitednegatingtechnology.org, who raves against the evils of the Internet, computer games and liberals:

The fact is, this may be an e-mail, but I am revolted with myself, and will punish myself, vigorously. We need to be free from the internet. It's getting mankind in a hideous and vice-like grip and before you know it, our lives, which were once perfect, will be reduced to nothing but cyber sex and learning things we have no business knowing, like the fact the government lies, or you can safely go on vacation outside the old 48 contiguous. It's revolting, and we're all suffering.

Only last week, I was using the internet to look up some information for my 15 year old niece, who is a keen water skier and state wide sailor. Trust me when I say this - searching under the subject matter "Teenage girls water sports" is not for the faint hearted. The fact is people who care about our society really should join our society.

Thompson failed to see the funny side, and shortly after the site was launched sent an email to GamePolitics.com accusing Rockstar of trying to paint him as a "bisexual paedophile" with the prank:

"When you click on the fake e-mail, banner headlined at the tope of the home page, from "JT," the Miami, Florida (Liberty City) anti-violent video game crusader, you will find that JT (Jack Thompson) likes to surf the Internet for pictures depicting deviant sex acts by teenage girls. Additionally, there is at the site an audio ad featuring a man whose name is "Jack" who is found naked by a mother in her son's room. Bisexual pedophile Jack Thompson is the combined message."
