Jack Thompson Strikes Out...at Scotland!

[Fyndir]

"What else would one expect of Scottish sociopaths sipping their single malt Glenlivet in between brainstorming software programming sessions?" (http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6167843.html?action=convert&om_clk=latestnews&tag=latestnews;title;0)

Oh it's ON Jackie Boy, it's SO on.

I'm thinking lawsuit of epic proportions for defamation of our fine nation's countrymen. ;)

Your thoughts, gentlemen?

[LastChanceHotel]

It's on all right.

Let's get a petition rolling on level 7 of the Boyd Orr, and get that bastard buried (under empty tennents cans and buckie bottles and a Glasgow map pack for GTA). :D

[YegaDoyai]

I shall edit my sig appropriately. Go Fyndir, the real last king of Scotland.

[GingerPrinz]

I just want someone to tell the man that due to the economic condition fo our country we all sit around quaffing buckie and tennents. Plus a Scotsman does not sip, he chugs. In addition we know that Glenlivet is basically piss in a bottle, and have mnay other finer malts to choose from.

Please spell Bucky with a 'y'. My home town is Buck ending ie :P It's unnerving.

Florida bar are trying to disbar him. That is, stop him being a lawyer. Can't happen soon enough, IMHO.

Apparently suing Take2 isn't enough, he's still after Penny Arcade:

Honestly, only in America could a man as obviously insane as Jack Thompson become a lawyer, and still be a lawyer after soooooo many dubious cases. Get this man disbarred before he embarrasses himself further!

I love that he's trying to pull PA up on RICO violations. RICO was introduced to stop the Mafia. Yes, that mafia. Gabe and Tycho as Don Gotti and Henry Hill? Hysterical. Not only that but these mobsters are secretly in league with the Bush Administration?

Gabe was right though, better that our enemies are incompetent.

oh, and the Rocketeer is an overlooked modern classic. Fantastic turn from Timothy Dalton, comic book heroics, 30's styling. the Nazi propaganda movie is worth the price of admission. It's great and, ironically enough, also features the Mafia.

Really? I must have missed the Nazi part.

+1 on teh rocketeer though, it's a great movie. Dalton as a Nazi is inspired casting, especially with the plummy British accent.

...attempt to heap scorn on concept of PA as mafia...

...movie which features mafia as heroes is great...

Who are you protecting? Eh? Spill yer guts!

*total confusion*

I'm offering props to The Rocketeer? Whilst mocking Jack Thompson's crazy world view? And laughing at the idea of Gabe and Tycho as gangsters? I think?


The Nazi propaganda movie is shown to the Rocketeer by Howard Hughes, in an attempt to get him to give up the pack, before our hero escapes on the model of The Spruce Goose.

Lol, clearly a conspiracy is afoot! I vote we organise an interrogation at the next lan....
