It's funny.  Laugh. Entertainment Games

Rockstar Strikes Back 81

Eurogamer is reporting on a little humor that Rockstar is having at Jack Thompson's expense. From the article: "Rockstar has just launched a new website for forthcoming PSP game GTA: Liberty City Stories, which features a spoof email from 'JT@CitizensUnitedNegatingTechnology'. 'The Internet is an unambiguous evil,' the email reads. 'The only things worse than the Internet are computer games and liberals ... 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 article goes on to describe some frantic arm waving from the parody's target.

    That's a fake email address.

    But I'm not sure about this: "Jack Thompson can assure the world that the only thing to which he is "addicted" is eating entertainment industry scofflaws for breakfast - and golf."

    Is that a real quote?! First of all, why is Jack Thompson referring to himself in the third person? And secondly, what the hell is he talking about anyway?

    It seems that R* has taken a major blow by JT himself. Rather than trying to prevent scientific evidence to refute the ideas Jack Thompson is presenting, they make a parody site. I can imagion how a court case in the future will look. Jack: "Interactive media simulate the brain more than passive media and thus influences a child's behavior more." R*: "You're a @%$# #*@^er! *snicker*" Give me a break. If R* wants to legitimize their games, they should fight smarter, not prove that the corporation is run by 12 year olds.

Today is a good day for information-gathering. Read someone else's mail file.
