Jack Thompson has been disbarred. Ok, if you don’t know who Jack Thompson is, then you might find this a little less funny. Lemmie give you the highlights…
Jack Thompson decided there was a link between video game violence and real world teen violence. Except that whole bit where some studies show there isn’t a link. At all. I have no problem with his belief though – I have a belief there isn’t a link, and some studies show that I’m probably right. But who knows – maybe it’s a delayed effect, and when this current generation of gamers turns 60, they’ll all be mass murderers because of Grand Theft Auto XXVI: Old Age Home. The long term sociological effects won’t really be know for quite a while.
