    Jack off.his rocker

    Jack Mad Dog Thompson is at it again. A week after our little tete-a-tete via email, the game-hating attorney sent me a second missive.

    In the rambling email, Thompson talks about his lawsuit prospects in a recent murder with abandon and a little too much glee. I ve only included the intro because it best captures his writing style, which is sort of like the ramblings of a free-basing third-grader. Oh, and the bizzarro-world center formatting is all his.

    Subject: Taking All of Rockstar s Money Just got Easier

    What You Kiddies Don't Seem to Understand Is That When You've Been on 60 National TV Shows, Including Today Eight Times, on This Issue, There's Not a Great Deal of Logic in Wasting One's Time on a Gamer Board. I Have In Fact "Spoken Out" on the Issue to Tens of Millions of People: You All Need to Save Your Money and Buy Televisions. Enjoy the Below. Rockstar Will Lose It All:

    Immediate News Release (11/14/04)

    St. Paul Riot Killing May Be Linked to Grand Theft Auto Game

    The email goes on to discuss Thompson s theory that the Sunday night fatal stabbing of a St. Paul teen may be linked to Grand Theft Auto.

    His proof? The fact that the person was stabbed many times. Apparently overkill is something that only gamers can do.

    The email ends with Thompson whining about the lack of respect he gets from the right-thinking people of the world:

    Not a single person in Governor Pawlenty s staff would talk with Jack Thompson. He was told by the Governor s receptionist, however, not to call back. Maybe the busy Governor will now find the time to call the stabbing victim s parents.

    Isn t talking about yourself in the third-person a sign of schizophrenia?
