"Take-Two is aggressively marketing its newest Mature-rated video game to kids under 17 years of age... On this Friday's night's 8 pm Eastern time airing of WWE's wrestling program "Smackdown," there were repeated ads for Take-Two/Rockstar Game's Mature-rated, incredibly violent BioShock... [MegaGames note: Rockstar has nothing to do with Bioshock. The game is developed by 2K Boston/2K Australia (previously known as Irrational Games)]
A check of the demographics of the audience of that program reveals that teens under 17 years of age watch that program in huge numbers", said Thompson's letter.

I'm curious... WWE for under 17? :shock: No wonder my neighbour's kids are always smacking each others with chairs.


Jack Thompson said:
"Remarkably, the video game industry is running ads for games like BioShock on teen-intensive television programs while at the same time its industry-captured "watchdog," the ESRB, is running a self-congratulatory ad campaign to assure parents that the video game ratings system is working and that the industry can be trusted not to target their kids with these Mature-rated games. It is all a lie, as the BioShock ads prove.

This rampant fraudulent trade practice is precisely what "Big Tobacco" did with its "Joe Camel" and other teen-targeting ads, while at the same time lying to Congress that it was not marketing its adult product to kids."

If WWE is for teen, what do grandpa watch? :lol:
 
What a load of bullshit. Could write tons about how ignorant and foolish Jack Thompson is, but what's the point? People as full of themselves as he is are incapable of listening to anything asides the voices in their heads.

The only thing that really needs commenting on is how absurd it is that he's equating video games with tobacco. But that needs little comment, as its absurdity is evident to any halfway rational human being.

Jack Thompson really just needs to get a life. Go help those starving kids in Africa. Oh wait, that'd actually be doing something useful.
 
That's sad that violent psychos like him are allowed to walk on streets.


Bioshock was ultra-violent? Is he mentally ill?
 
.. opportunistic attention whoring attourney bitches about some popular issue cuz he aint got nothing else to do ... nice

well, it is very graphicall violent, sure, but that's (partially) why it is rated 17+ to begin with...
 
That's pretty interesting. This guy is more concerned about a game ad than about the WWE itself, which presents violence that is more likely to be reproduced by kids.
 
How the hell is this guy not shot dead by one of those fanatical videogame players he always raves about? :twisted: This is possibly the only thing I don't like about Florida.
 
its because of the likes of him that people here have to order their games from nearby countries like Austria,Netherlands,Uk ...
i mean when you are buying a game that is mature rated ,you have to show a id card or something like that and i still don't understand why games should be censored/banned !
 
Ya know, with people like him walking the streets, it makes me wish that society was run like a forum with NMA members as admins.


Jack Thompson was permanently banned for trolling.
