Jack Thompson's Proposal
« on: October 14, 2005, 08:19:04 PM »
Haha, this is great.  I don't know if you've been following Penny Arcade lately, but Gabe emailed Jack Thompson in response to his ridiculous proposal.

For those too lazy to read, the proposal is for a game where you play as a dad whose son was killed by a kid who played too many video games, and you basically go murder the CEO's of game companies and their families, pee on their corpses, and eventually make your way down to E3 and slaughter everybody.

Oh, and he's offering $10k to charity if somebody makes the game.  Gabe's response:

"10 grand is pretty weak man. Through our charity www.childsplaycharity.org gamers have given over half a million dollars in toys and cash to children’s hospitals all over the country."

So Jack calls him up and screams at him.

Some good reads here and here.

Heh, it gets even better.  Some people actually made the game, and Jack went back on his offer saying it was satire or some crap: http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000743063662/

Also, penny-arcade then went and wrote a check for $10,000 to donate because Jack Thompson wouldn't, and Jack went and wrote a letter to the police trying to get them to arrest the people at penny arcade, haha.
