When his book came out, everyone flooded it with horrible reviews on amazon.com and associated it with things like the homosexual kama sutra and a bunch of other disturbing things. He threatened Amazon with a lawsuit if they didn't take the negative reviews down.
I think people were just posting nasty things about his book in the reviews section, and giving it low ratings. Here's a guy with such a fragile ego that he quite literally makes a court case out of an insult.

EDIT: Did Amazon remove them? (Hopefully not.)
Some of them were removed since it's against their policy to post a fraudulent review (and most of the reviews were just personal insults to JT anyway). Quite a few remained though, a lot of satirical "positive" reviews also stayed.
Really, the only thing that's left to do at this point is for a qualified psychologist to write up a profile on the guy.
We know he's insane, but I'd like to know just how it happened.
That was tried when he was running for Governor of Florida I think. Or some office. I forget which. But he apparently passed so now he flaunts the title of being the only certifiably sane lawyer in Florida.

a- are you serious?
not about the test, about the sane part
The part he conveniently leaves out is that he's the only lawyer in Florida who the justice system felt NEEDED a psychological exam in the first place.

Granted, he claims to be sane since he passed that test.
— COUNTER-STRIKE: Crusading Miami attorney Jack Thompson has been after "Grand Theft Auto" publisher Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) for years now, with the battle expected to resume this year with "Manhunt 2" and "GTA IV." This time, however, Take-Two is drawing first blood.
According to the Game Politics Web site, the company petitioned the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida "to enjoin [Thompson] from bringing suit on behalf of the State of Florida to enjoin the sale of 'GTA IV' or 'Manhunt 2' as a nuisance."
Thompson brought a similar (and ultimately unsuccessful) suit last year against Take-Two's "Bully," and he was unfazed by the company's pre-emptive strike.
"I have been praying, literally, that Take-Two and its lawyers would do something so stupid, so arrogant, so dumb, even dumber than what they have to date done, that such a misstep would enable me to destroy Take-Two," the lawyer said.
Maybe Kratos isn't the crankiest guy in video games.
Maybe this perspective will be mirrored in their television coverage of Thompson's impending shenanigans. We can only hope.

He'll have to change that once he's no longer a lawyer...
What happened to all the e-surance hentai. This thread was getting good around page 3. THE FORREST DESTROYER IS HOT.
Nobody ever got the links. All were saddened.
You don't have to post them. Just PM them to everyone who asks.

Jack thompson should get disbarred. This latest lawsuit might be his last. We should all ignore him and find pity in such a worthless person. He doesn't believe in the american way, He doesn't believe that we have the right to our own freedoms in our entertainment.
Talking about Jack Thompson would be more fun if it didn't make my head hurt to think about his "arguments."
Or the fact that he's continuously allowed to make them.
Just think, your taxes at work here.
I wish someone could get a case together on him on the OJ Simpson level, get the best fucking lawyer in the country, if not the world, to bust his balls into paste, and make it so we never have to hear from him again. Because his cases have become harassment. I feel harassed every time I hear his fucking name.
Let's get together a class-action suit on Thompson and sue him for all the slander and libel he casts upon us. The things he says about us, game developers, and gaming in general is far worse. I'm sure there are those who got disrespectful letters from him after they were NICE to him that could contribute to the cause.
...yeah, I'm kidding, but in a perfect world...

If we can prove that he has purposely intended to hurt the character the gaming community....
Okay, we need a paypal account and a lot of evidence of everything's said over the years.

Even mentioning his name is Libel since you're on a gaming forum.
Is that libel?
Then we jump the winner on the way out.
No. Now, if you'd said...
...THEN you might be onto something.
That would have been fun.
No, wait, I think that was when Jackies book was linked to stuff about bestiality or something on Amazon. Can't remember.

And Also Ann Coulter's book, "Godless".
EDIT: Je est stupide. I need to look farther down the page.
What if video games told me that Jack Thompson drinks the blood of puppies to quench his demonic thirst?
'Cause they did. And he does.
This is just a tribute.

Apparently I should be emulating the M rated games I play, considering the adolescent mind is oh-so-susceptible to violent influence. :P

We shall have a party if he gets disbarred.

alabama hit him once, please florida! finsh the job!
Always good to see someone fighting back against this idiot, though. It only takes one moron to get all the media attention.
I need to see this. I am ashamed, but damn it curiosity is killing me.

This has EVERYTHING to do with Thompson.
You KNOW he's going to trot out this bit of info before the month is up.
"Look, look! These guys who lived out their GTA fantasies are CONVICTED KILLERS!"
Sigh.
