Penny-Arcade v Jack Thompson
I just finished reading this article on Slashdot and it amazes me how childish some people can be. Jack Thompson is the lawyer who is sueing Rock Star Games (GTA everyone) for making a “cop killing training simulator responsible for the murder of a pair of cops.” While the GTA series is indeed very graphic and questionable, I question Jack’s logic in this case. Yes, I know that he’s a lawyer trying to make his name known and make millions of dollars, but come on. Sue the game maker for making a violent game with a rated M for mature ERSB label on it?! Nevermind the fact that the kid who killed the cops was even old enough to by the game. Why isn’t someone sueing the person who gave him the game?! Read the article, decide for yourself.
