Jacko goes down...

I saw news of this at work yesterday and was reminded by the new PA comic this morning. Florida courts are recommending that Jack Thompson be disbarred.

Jack Thompson is famous for his reactionary stance against video game violence and even more famous for being a psychotic douche-bag. I don't use that term lightly, the man is not only off his rocker, he is both aggressively outspoken and overwhelmingly ignorant. Until recently the most troubling thing about him was that many people seemed to respect his warped opinions, increasing the negative attention being given gamers/ game developers. Hopefully this decision will help put his remarks into perspective and take some ammunition away from politicians and nay-sayers.

But really, who can say?
