Default Judge Spanks Thompson for Gay Porn

You just can't BUY a headline like that, and the story behind it is even better:

Quote:
The attached exhibit, which includes several graphic images of oral and genital sex between adult males, was filed electronically in the docket in this case, without prior permission from the court…

To the extent that the other attorney’s alleged conduct is in any way relevant… there was no need for Mr. Thompson to file these graphic images in the public record. A simple reference to the website and its alleged links would have sufficed…
I just can't wait 'til Jack comes out swinging with some insane rationalization for this.

My thanks to Game Politics for the article and my buddy Vy for the heads-up.

I should have finished the article before posting, he DOES have some good rationalizations already:

Quote:
Thompson may have more to say in his own defense as to his alleged contemptuous behavior, but at this juncture, with all respect, he does not apologize for nor regret what he has done… if this court desires to throw Thompson into jail for trying to sound the alarm in this dramatic fashion… then Thompson is prepared to go there.
.....

To hold Thompson in contempt for alerting the federal court system to the criminal activity… is akin to arresting Paul Revere, in 1775, for “disturbing the peace” with his midnight ride…
All written by good old Jack himself of course.

Honestly, if wants to get his name in the news this badly, why doesn't he just kill some people already?

Makes sense, then he could blame his killing someone on GTA.

Digi, have you even read half of the suits he's filed? It's mind boggling the amount of dumb shit he's responsible for. If I'm not mistaken, he's being examined by the Florida state Bar, probably because he's pissed off too many of the wrong people.

Jack Thomson is a living, breathing, poorly written and hacked together Shockwave Flash game.

That and he likes to sue over video games. This actually might fit in the ethics of technology forum.

Oh I know who he is, but this forum is more about the games than the biggotted politicians who have agendas against them. Ethics or RPSC is probably a better home for this thread versus games...
