This is the greatest thing I've ever heard in my life. The tides are turning Jack, aren't they?!

And a firing squad just as they turn on the chair. Oh, and a lethal injection beforehand. Dang am I cruel.

This is figuratively speaking, right? Don't be belitting your experiences now.

Yup. Figuratively. But this is pretty good news.

It will just end in more publicity for T2 and more game sales of their games, T2 wins!

I want Jack Thompson to be disbarred. He deserves it, as does any other ambulance chaser.

I know he got in a lot of trouble when Penny-arcade decided to stand up to him, and that was a possable outcome.  To bad it didn't work out that way then.  Hopefully it will this time.  He also bugged vgcats too.

http://www.vgcats.com/jack.php and his douchbagery aimed at vgcats.

Both funny reads.

I agree with him losing his bar. Quite frankly, I'm suprised someone didn't do this sooner.

Didn't him being disbarred come up a year ago? Hopefully something finally comes of it.

Also i thought he wqas already disbarred in some other state?

It was, when he hassled Penny-Arcade a bunch of fans emailed the Florida bar association and they did put him under review or something and I heard he did get disbarred, but when I was looking for it today I didn't find anything on it.

I just read on Game Politics that he emailed them and is actually happy about the suit.  http://www.gamepolitics.com/

    I have been praying, literally, that Take-Two and its lawyers would do something so stupid… that such a misstep would enable me to destroy Take-Two…

    The pit Take-Two has dug for itself will be patently clear next week when I strike back.

The guy's fucking insane.

That's why I love him. Jack never fails to make me laugh.
