He seems to think any interaction is harassment. Honestly.
Soon he will be suing the rain. "I told the rain to stop, judge, but it just kept falling on me!"
"I went to the supermarket to buy groceries, and when the cashier rung me up, he asked that I ACTUALLY PAY FOR MY GROCERIES! This is clearly harrasment! I went him thrown into jail for 14576786236564325 years!"
Seriously, is there even a whisper of hope that this will even get to court? Because he seriously needs to take a refresher course in law school or something. I mean, lawyers are suppose to be scumbags, not dumbasses!

Federal District Court Judge Paul Huck has dismissed a complaint filed yesterday against Gawker Media, parent company of the popular Kotaku game blog. In his ruling, Judge Huck wrote that controversial attorney Jack Thompson had failed to follow the proper federal court procedure for amending a complaint.
For his part, Thompson admits his mistake and pleads ignorance (we’ll buy that), citing distractions he says were caused today by the Florida Bar and an unnamed game website which published his home address and phone number.
Thompson vowed to the Court that he will re-file the Kotaku complaint, this time in accordance with the rules.
Man, I knew that Hompson crying because of Kotaku was coming, but I didn't think it would be over a comment on Kotaku. Let alone trying to get the FBI involved.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any more idiotic.

I wonder if the 12-year-old writing style of his had anything to do with it?
I think Jacko should be the beggining guy in the next Phoenix Wright game.
"OBJECTION! This guy is batshit insane, and I can prove it!"
Phoenix wouldn't say a thing. Just let Thompson yell at him for 5 minutes while the judge tries to figure out how many charges for contempt of court he can get on Jacko.
In sending documents to opponents, Thompson would frequently attach a photocopy of his driver's license, with a photo of Batman pasted over his own, just to make sure they knew who they were dealing with. Thompson said, "I have sent my opponents pictures of Batman to remind them I'm playing the role of Batman. Just like Bruce Wayne helped the police in the movie, I have had to assist the sheriff of Broward County." He also wore a Batman wristwatch.

Dr. McNinja trained with batman. I say they fight over who is more like batman.

And all that was fine, until they found the thirteen year old locked up in his basement, wearing tights and a mask.

Well, Wikipedia says it, and the source is a Washington Post article without a link.
Kind of creepy, if it is true.

Sad part is, the Judge would still probably side against Phoenix. DOB plays favorites.

Those two images above have forever been branded on my brain for when I think "Jack Thompson." Oh lawd. Nice punchline example, LBD.
I wish I could add something to this that hasn't been already said. Jack Thompson threads write themselves.
"Three men walk into a bar. One of them is a bit stupid. And the whole scene unfolds with a tedious inevitability!"
Which pretty much sums up every single Jack Thompson videogame court case ever.
Except for the ones where he brings placards and pisses off the judge by holding them up at random times and gets scolded like a kindergartner. Those are awesome.

Okay, I am really tired of all this Thompson stuff, and even MORE tired of the hompson stuff, but my GOD. The batman quote, the wristwatch comment, and that PERFECT Batman cell has me on the floor spouting coffee out my nose.

Ooh, I forgot about that. What did he do again?
He brought a bunch of "visual aids" that basically amounted to BS "stats" about video games and violence when the judge was making his ruling on the injunction that Thompson requested re: selling Bully in Florida. Basically the judge was saying that after seeing the multiple hours long video demonstrating gameplay from Bully that he finds the suit completely without merit and then goes on to say that he's going to have to hand the case off to another judge because Thompson's irrational and childish behavior has made him hate the guy so much that he no longer feels that he can be impartial in deciding the case.
So basically, the judge was starting to hate Thompson for his behavior and was unable to separate that from the actual arguments of the case, so he felt it wise to recuse himself. But while he was making this statement about how Thompson was being immature and conducting himself like an ass and making a mockery of the legal system, Thompson kept interrupting him and holding up these signs, causing the judge to pause while talking about how much he hates Thompson to tell Thompson to, in essence, shut the fuck up because it's not his turn to talk.
just had to note, i loaded up this page, with the story of Jack 'man' Thompson at the top there, to see Alpha's avatar is wearing a Batman cap.
Every kind of win.

It should also be noted that the case the judge recused himself from was partially due to the fact that Jack announced publicly that he would be running for that Judge's office.

"Dear Jack
Have you ever considered a career in comedy? You're seriously one of the funniest men alive"
I want to see what happens.
We'd get sued for harassment.

"GRAVITY IS TEACHING OUR CHILDREN THAT THINGS FALL WE MUST STOP IT RAR I SUCK MASSIVE COCKS"
Jack is both! He's like the Prell of douchebags.

He's batman for godssake.

Also I think it's about time to drag this old one out again.
It's not "gravity". Gravity is just vague scientific nonsense, that's why they call it the "theory of gravity". It's just a theory.
I demand that you refer to it as "intelligent falling".
That thing needs a Wii update.

Even though your profile says London, I imagine that line said in the voice of Van Damme as Guile.
One too many.
"A Rabbi, a Jedi, and a Priest walk into a bar... Jack Thompson."
