Thompson later drew attention to the game's main character, a 15-year old male, being able to kiss other boys. Thompson wrote to ESRB president Patricia Vance, "We just found gay sexual content in Bully as Jimmy Hopkins makes out with another male student. Good luck with your 'Teen' rating now." The ESRB indicated that they knew the content was in the game when they rated the game.
If this were a cartoon, I think right about here's where Bugs Bunny would hold up a wooden sign that reads "What a Maroon!".

Crap, the biggest school shooting in American history just happened at Virginia Tech. At least 22 dead and at least 21 injured. Jack is gonna be all over this.

We havent determined if the guy that did this played games at all, in fact, it seems to me that he was just a sociopath who wanted to kill. No dobt Jack will "tell" the truth though.

If the shooter has ever seen or heard of a video game then Jack is gonna blame the whole thing on video games. Even if he hasn't he's gonna pull some bull shit idea out of his ass like how Take Two took control of his mind by using warlocks who chanted in the middle of a inverted pentagram drawn on the floor with the blood of babies.

When will that guy learn the "violent" video games actually release pent-up aggression? That guy is so ridiculous, he could argue that this (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showth...=Jack+Thompson) is a bad thing.

Jack indeed was on TV earlier. I've been watching Fox News since about midday. He came on and instantly started claiming he knows that video games were a factor even though the police have already said they don't know/can't release information about the shooter.

According to Thompson, “In every school shooting, we find that kids who pull the trigger are video gamers.”

Another comparison - every school shooting, we find that the kids who pull the trigger are students. Should that mean we ban schools?

Way to mkae a tragedy even worse by capitalizing on it Jack.

Psychosheep 04-16-2007 08:11 PM

In this day and age all the kids have played a video game at some point or another.

So Jack can make all the crazy accusations he wants and most likely be "proven correct" later- odds are the guy did play games.

RaiRai 04-16-2007 08:13 PM

Yes, he probably did. But as have many people. And this guy has no right, no qualification to decide this is the ultimate reason that these kids did what they did.
