Jack Thompson Weighs in on Oblivion

Robotron23 writes "Jack Thompson has commenced his attack on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion by seeking appearances on several talk shows. A press release announcing his availability speaks of Take Two not having 'learned its lesson' over the Hot Coffee scandal, before continuing to detail the issues surrounding Oblivion's re-rating, in particular regarding nudity - concluding that the game content will spawn 'an even worse disaster' than occurred during Hot Coffee."

Will this moron never stop?

[unheard02]

Does he not realize that no one likes him, not even his own mother?

Somone poke Jack in the eye for me if you see him.

[GundamFan]

Subject line says it all.

Video games don't make me fell violent, morons do.

I think...

[Cheapy]

I think that there should be a new rating introduced. How about "TM", or maybe "T-M". It would stand for "Teen-Moddable", and underneath it it would say: "This game can be modified by the players. This means that there can be boobies and heavy sexual innuendo."

Why I like the tags function

[raitchison]

Lets me tag stores like this with "asshole attentionwhore bullshit esrb fud"

Even if it doesn't accomplish anything it makes me feel better /offtopic

Oh god, not another one...

Jack Thompson: the Dvorak of the gaming world.

Antidotes?

[thesaint05]

FTA:

During your interview, Thompson also gives antidotes from his new book, "Out of Harm's Way" (Tyndale House Publishers).

I wish someone would give me an antidote [reference.com] to Jack Thompson...

[CelticWhisper]

How did that man manage to become a lawyer?

of course he's only talking out of his rear end without bothering to do any research

Um, dude, I think you answered your own question without realizing it.

Re:SHOCKING: People are nude under their clothes

[Vengeance]

This reminds me of "The Muppet Show". Sam the Eagle was all in a huff, and gave a speech about the evils of nudity. A reasonable paraphrase goes like this:

People, under their clothes? Nudity!

Birds, under their feathers? Nudity! *looks down, slinks off*

Re:coming from a republican...

[21st Century Peon]

Was he dropped on his head too many times as a baby?

No, too few.

He should see what kids do with GI Joe and Barbie.
Nasty, dirty, horrible things. And that ho Barbie likes it. Poor Ken.

boobies in Oblivion?

[matt328]

Woot. I'm buying it. Thanks for the tip, Jackie boy.

Re:What does Take 2 have to do with that?

[TheBogie]

Actually all lawyers are required to sign up for Ethics 101 class in their first semester. Anyone who shows up is immediately expelled from law school.

"Nasty, dirty, horrible things. And that ho Barbie likes it. Poor Ken."

Poor Ken? Barbie's just his beard, he's probably more upset that he doesn't get more action from the GI Joes.

"This game contains Sexually Explicit Teens."

PS. Don't get your hopes up; they are all fat, pimply boys sitting in their mother's basement.

PPS. That includes the hot druid you were cybering with last night.

Re:What?

[compro01]

Why isn`t Barbie (tm) Rated M for Mature?

you seem to be trying to apply logic to jack's claims. your attempt is destined to fail.

Suckling Baby Jesus

[HTH NE1]

Pixelated boobies make Baby Jesus...

cut his gums and tongue on the sharp edges.

What, you thought Mary fed Baby Jesus formula?

Re:And what lesson should they learn for Hot Coffe

[DurendalMac]

If Jack really wanted to solve the problem, he'd come up with a new teenage pass-time that they actually want to do more than games.

It's called masturbation.

Re:And what lesson should they learn for Hot Coffe

[stummies]

Tonight, on "Eye on Springfield": just miles from your doorstep, hundreds of teenage boys are playing videogames where they are given weapons and trained to kill. The town calls it an "arcade", but a more alarmist name would be "The Killbot Factory."

Re:What does Take 2 have to do with that?

[OldGuySythe]

You obviously don't know your emperors. Ming was by far the most evil. Ask Buck Rogers.

Re:Overrated

[Gilmoure]

So...nipples, on men are similar to having a platypus stapled to your chest? Surely, there's some god laughing at me. Maybe not for male nipples but for something.

Get over it

[Noxal]

They're NIPPLES. Is this guy gay and really scared of females, or did his dad never give him the old talk?

Honestly, this is just part of a large problem in the USA. The idea that nudity is this horrible thing that will ruin children and make people go to hell.

IT'S ON OUR BODIES. If you don't want your children seeing other people's genitalia or titties, might as well cut them off your kids, 'cuz they're gonna see their own.
