http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.xbox360fanboy.com/media/2008/04/jackthompsonfloridalawyer.jpg (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/52358)Protesting the release of Grand Theft Auto IV (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/gtaiv), which lands at retail on April 29, outspoken videogame critic Jack Thompson has written a strongly worded letter addressed to the mother of Take-Two Interactive chairman Strauss Zelnick.
According to ShackNews (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/52358), in the letter the Florida attorney equates Strauss to Hitler Youth, asks Mrs. Zelnick why her porn-peddling son doesn't leave her shamed, accuses Strauss of causing the death of three Alabama police officers, quotes scripture and asks if she was involved in training her son to push Mature-rated games onto children. Thompson did however find it in his heart to wish the nice lady a Happy Mother's Day.
Oh Jack, you're a sweetheart. In other news Thompson's legal career is still hanging in the balance as a Florida judge is ruling on a trial that could see him disbarred (http://gamepolitics.com/2007/02/03/jack-thompson-faces-florida-bar-disciplinary-hearing/) from practicing law in Florida. Wonder what Jack's mom thinks about that.
