Rockstar taking the piss out of Jack Thompson

Post by Eraser »

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=60924
Miami-based lawyer Jack Thompson has responded angrily to what he claims is an attempt by Rockstar to brand him a "sexual pervert".

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," it continues.

"Trust me when I say this - searching under the subject matter "Teenage girls water sports" is not for the faint hearted."
So on this Liberty CIty stories website there's the email partly quoted above, and it contains a link to this site where there's testimonies of people against the internet.

Hilarious stuff, but Rockstar might be playing with fire when personally attacking Jack Thompson.

i just looked Jack Tompson up on wkipedia and found this:
On August 19, 2005 Jack Thompson complained about a buddy icon that featured himself, which can be found on the internet here (it was originally posted on BadassBuddy). He was terrified about it and contacted the NYPD and the FBI to investigate this case and New York offices of bolt.com to remove the offensive icon. Source

That Citizens United website is just a pile of sarcasm anyway, isn't it?

What's Rockstar on about to start with?

It sounds like Rockstar took the site literally and made fun of it in their game. Is that what's going on here?
