    I would buy, and play, a Jack Thompson video game. In it I would be Jack Thompson, scourge of gamers, and I would take writs and law journals onto the streets and smite children, adolescents, young adults, and puppies that I found gaming. I would also run from the Perverters of Justice who aim to have me disbarred. I would be unshaven and well dressed. I would put gamers in their place. I would be love, and be loved.

    Good bye, Jack.
    Oh maaan – I so badly want to make hilarious photoshop commentary.

    Finally. The system…lurches excruciatingly slowly to a bare level of adequate functioning.
    Has you offer from PAX07 expired?
    This should mean he has plenty of time to suck your balls!

    I’d like to thank the late great George Carlin for convincing me to pray to the sun and Joe Pesci – who have about the same 50-50 success rate as God. AND Joe has been able to take care of some of those things that God couldn’t. Like disbarring Jack Thompson. Praise Joe!

    I worry what will happen if they get someone worse in there. I dont think it will happen but there is always someone worse, right?

    While this is fantastic news… I have to ask – WTF took them so long?

    Just because he has been disbarred does not mean he will stop his crusade against video games. He will just have a little less leverage.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *breathe* HAHAHAHAHAHAHA *breathe* HAHAHAHAHAHA
    *pant*
    This is at least the 5th time I’ve read those words (thanks to my RSS feeds of Game Politics, Ars, etc) and I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of laughing about it.
    That picture? Priceless.

    The phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” has never been so eloquently and appropriately expressed before this blog post.
    Good show Wil, good show.

    LOL – Thanks, that pic really made me laugh. I can hear “Ha-Ha” ringing in my head still!

    can someone tell me, in a nutshell, why this guy is a bad guy and why he got disbarred? I’m having trouble understanding it. The newsstory was a bit convoluted and I don’t know the backstory.

    He calls himself a Christian, but none of the religious news sites are carrying this story, that I can find. They must not approve of his approach.

    Space Jack Thompson is totally cancelled.

    Well. The legal system is a bitch. One good and one bad in the last couple days.
    Good: JT Disbarred.
    Bad : Some Kentucky judge just ordered the forfeiture of 141 domains associated with gambling. Among them, pokerstars.com. They already have control over many of the domains, but we’ll see if their ruling holds up and takes the domain.

    “so disbarred” on Twitter:
    http://search.twitter.com/search?max_id=935597655&page=6&q=%22so+disbarred%22
    Ex. “Jack Thompson is so disbarred he can’t even practice the law of gravity.”

    I like
    “Jack Thompson is so disbarred he isn’t even allowed to read Shakespeare.”

    So I didn’t know where to post this, or whether it’s post worthy anyway. Firstly I think I’m correct in thinking that Wil isn’t a media whore (ha, I hope not anyway). Anyhoo, Wil is on the front cover of the UK’s (and maybe the worlds) greatest movie magzine, Empire. There are 99 other covers available, but still, pretty cool nontheless. How many of us are cover stars! 🙂 http://www.empireonline.com/500/100covers/covers.asp

    This story is so awesome it made my toenails tingle. Jack Thompson is truly a symbol of so many things that are wrong about society, just not in the way he believes he is.

  24. Greg says:

    Jack Thompson is so disbarred, he can’t even get a 30-day trial from AOL.

    Good morning, Mr. Wheaton. Your job, should you be geeky enough for it, is to secure an audio file with Nelson Muntz’s laugh. You will then program your weblog site to play this audio file upon detecting a rollover of Mr. Muntz’s picture at the top of this article. As usual, if you are caught or captured, Anne will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

    Wil,
    I don’t know if anyone has forwarded this to you yet, but you’ve gotta check out your cameo in today’s edition of The Rack web comic. It’s pretty good.
