Jack Thompson is at it again and this time, he's not alone. He has enlisted the aid of his 15-year old son in his crusade against violent video games.
The Florida lawyer, Jack Thompson, has struck again and now, his fury is coming down on a local Best Buy. He sent his 15 year-old son into the store to see if someone would sell him a copy of the popular video game, Bioshock, which they did. He is now insisting that both the clerk and the store manager should be fired immediately.
This is not the first time that Thompson and his son have united to bring down mature rated video games. Five years ago, he sent his son into the same Best Buy to buy GTA Vice City, with similar results. Here is my question to you. Is Jack Thompson a hypocrite for sending his son into the store to buy something that he, himself, proclaims is "dangerous to youths"? I understand his intentions, but is proving a point worth "corrupting the mind "of his son even though he, no doubt, will not let him play the game? That's like sending your kid into the video store to buy porn then saying, "I had no intention of letting him watch it. I just wanted to prove a point."
What are your thoughts?
