Jack Thompson thinks Bully will give kids teh ghey
I like how Jack thinks that the game contains sexual material now that it’s known that there are two boys kissing in the game, but all the hetero kissing wasn’t sexual at all.

Jack Thompson Says He is Running for Judge
If there’s a worse candidate for someone who is to make decisions based on logic and sound legal arguments, I’m not sure I can think of it. I dunno, maybe Paris Hilton. I’m not even sure that’s true.

Re: Take-Two’s Bully
Dear Ms. Vance:
Well, now we know why Take-Two was careful to show only part of Bully to video game magazine and Internet site reviewers and to a Judge in Florida. Take-Two was hiding the real content of the game prior to the game’s commercial release so that the public would be successfully lied to by its corporate spokescreatures that the game was benign, that there was no male-on-female unpunished violence, that there was no unpunished student-on-teacher violence, etc., and that this was some kind of good student training device.
Take-Two gets a new shareholder: Jack Thompson
