When asked how babies are made, a typical childhood response is kissing. Professional lawyer and idiot Jack Thompson still thinks this. Why? Because he is a child. Rockstar's Bully features two male characters smooching, which is enough for Thompson to go into bonkers mode. In a typically off-mark email to the company's CEO Paul Eiberler, Thompson cites the game's "gay sex" as "harmful to minors." Because, Jack wouldn't want a rash of boys unknowingly impregnating other boys by lip-locking. His characteristically small and bitter logic after the jump.
Re: Gay Sex in Bully Video Game; Retail Sale of Sexual Material Harmful to MinorsIt turns out that the school violence simulation game Bully also contains homosexual activity between the game's hero, Jimmy Hopkins, and other male students.
It is my legal opinion that the sale of this game to minors, which is presently occurring at your stores in Florida, violates Florida's "Sexual Material Harmful to Minors Statute," Florida Statute 847.102. Each such sale to a minor constitutes a separate felony. Such sales are occurring to children of all ages because of the game's wholly inappropriate "Teen" rating, as opposed to the "Mature" rating it deserves. A recent Reuters story indicates that parental concern about this is growing, as reportage of this new video game industry scandal is making headlines today around the world.
I already have pending a Florida lawsuit to stop the sale of Bully to minors, and now that we know that it contains not only high levels of unpunished violence but also homosexual acts the lawsuit will be amended to proceed against it and some of you who are defendants therein on these dual grounds.
I suggest strongly that all of you cease and desist all such sales in the United States immediately. Neither the game's maker, Take-Two, nor the Entertainment Software Rating Board, told you of this homosexual content, which constitutes a fraudulent and deceptive trade practice, in my opinion, on their parts, and I have alerted the Federal Trade Commission to this.
However, now each of you knows, and from now on, from this minute forward, you are all on the hook.
First guns, now gays and always games. There's only one thing Jack Thompson doesn't hate, and that's himself. Pitiful.
