Just a little humor to set the mood.
So I was just doing a little reading on wiki today about a guy who's name I had noticed in the news over the past few years. I never really knew much about the guy but after reading his wiki page, I come to see that he's quite the jackass.
He's on a self initiated crusade against the entertainment industry, video games in particular, trying to hoodwink the courts into laying all the blame for some people's illegal activities on video games.
In 2003 he filed suit on behalf of the victims of two teenage stepbrothers who had pled guilty to reckless homicide, endangerment, and assault. He implyed that the game creators,console manufacturer, and retail stores were responsible since they should have informed the boys that "the game would cause copycat violence.".
WOULD cause copycat violence. ... let that sink in.
Bullshit detectors going off? Thought so.
Want more of his ass-hattery?
Apparently in Oct '06 he got his panties in a bunch about mortal combat (yet again), but this time sent the manufacturer (Midway games) a cease-and-decist letter demanding they stop producing the game, because the company was illegally profiting on his likeness... because it has a character customizing utility that allows users to create their own character, which let anyone create a character that looked like him.
WTF! Jack, sue Pentel and Bicc! Do it now! They are profiting from your lickness by manufacturing pencils and pens that allow anyone to create your likeness on paper!!! OMFG!1!!!a lsdkfjalksdf sue now.
