It's no secret that Jack Thompson doesn't like games (at all) and he's recently been caught airing his views on one of those US talk/news shows Nightline on December 13. And he wasted no time in getting straight to his point.

"I'm out to shut down Rockstar because they're run by a bunch of sociopaths and they're a one company crime wave," he told US talk show Nightline in an interview you check out on the wonder that is

During a demo of his least favourite game GTA, Thompson explained that "you're literally stomping someone into the pavement, and you can stomp them until there's a pool of blood in the street of the person you've just killed."

To my fellow PSP modders out there it's important that you ignore these guys because they are hyppocrites. Another thing is that there morons. This guy has no vested intrest in banning video games, he is merely trying to draw attention to himself and his "cause" and trying to use our hobby (gaming) as a platform for some personal gain. Our first amendment rights protect us from anal beads like this nut job. Screw off and play "Left Behind" loser.

It is OUR choice if we buy bloody games. Games like GTA are less bloody than hunting wild animals, yet it is our RIGHT to do that as well. I don't hunt, but I do love GTA and the like. He won't take it away from us, just simply make it more popular... I hope Jack Thompson goes backrupt,=.
