In a shocking and unexpected turn of events, the self-proclaimed “school shooting expert”, gay rights activist, and all around unbiased gaming pal, Jack Thompson, blames video games for the Virginia Tech shooting. What game specifically? Counter-Strike, which is a “mass murder simulator” according to Jack Thompson. But then again, according to Jack Thompson, video games are the cause of global warming, 9/11, WWII, and the travesties of the innernets known as “4chan” and “myspace”. But the real kicker is that Jack Thompson is blaming the wrong company for Counter-Strike. Jack should be blaming Valve, as they are the creators of Counter-Strike, as opposed to Microsoft, which is the company he is currently blaming, which is just more evidence that Jack Thompson doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about therefore should shut the hell up. Jack Thompson even sent a letter to Bill Gates himself, in which he asks Bill Gates to “pull the plug on Counter-Strike.”
The copy of the letter is in this article, which is definitely worth reading as it’s a source to no end of laughs.
In very similar news, Jack Thompson’s fiance, Dr. Phil, also happens to blame video games for the Virginia Tech shooting. This is what probably happened, I’ll make it as detailed as possible to give you the inside scoop:
Jack Thompson: Phil, publicly announce that you, too, blame video games for the Virginia Tech shooting or I’m calling off our wedding.
Dr. Phil: Yes master.
Update: Police searched through Cho’s dorm room and there were zero (0) video games found. I was going to say something really funny/witty, but it just wouldn’t compete with what “Sam G.” already posted in the comments of that article so I won’t bother: Can we officially refer to him as “Jack Thompson, attorney at lawl”?
