I haven't really paid much attention to Jack Thompson until recently. Up till now I dismissed him as one of those Ann Coulter crazy pundit types that I always see on YouTube clips of American television. After watching a few of his latest TV appearances it all seemed like the same stuff. He blames real life violence on video games by repeatedly referring to a few studies and bending the conclusions to fit his agenda. Most of what else he says is baseless and goes a long way to demonstrate his ignorance to people that actually have experience with video games.

Though it may sometimes seem like it is the case, I can't imagine that Thompson's end goal is to take away our video games for the purposes of upsetting us. I'm also thinking it's not just about his career or financial gain. It seems to me that he is at least partially motivated by matters of conscience and that his end goal involves public safety, which I have to admit is somewhat noble. Of course, this doesn't make up for the fact that he is going about promoting his cause in the wrong way. It would be easier for him to give up blaming the video game scapegoat if he would spend more time on planet Earth.

I was inspired to compose a song featuring Mr. Thompson himself:

Pure Pwnage - Reality vs Fantasy feat Jack Thompson.mp3
MP3 (192kbps 4.45MB - 3m:15s)

Here is a video for the song. Enjoy!

-looking at video now-

hmm, definitely different lol

[Mantrousse]

Awesome.

Like, seriously, the song and video were actually really, really good...

When, and i do say when, this video gets on to YouTube, i'm pretty certain it'll get a ton of views, quickly.


So, get it up on the Tube and let's promote Pwnage.

Actually nevermind, he is going to.

[Raven*]

Nice song.

[DHC]

i kinda feel bad

...i dont think Jack Thompson has any friends

[Zanzibar]

That was awesome.

But what game was it when the zoomed in sniper aim multiplied? It seems familiar, yet distant.

[Davey]

Yeah Geoff, aren't you worried he might try and file a lawsuit against you for defamation / slander, or something? lol

[Spencer]

I liked the video, but the song kind of got to me after awhile. Maybe too catchy lol.

[talok iv]

Awesome vid, keep up the good work man!

[Zanzibar]

Yeah Geoff, aren't you worried he might try and file a lawsuit against you for defamation / slander, or something? lol

I doubt he could sue. His image is on the public domain and thus can be used by whoever wants to. Besides, can you imagine someone trying to sure Pure Pwnage? Come on, we have an army.

[millerftw]

Great video, lets digg it up http://digg.com/come...t_Jack_Thompson

Makes me look forward to some more kick ass songs in the next ep.

[Anon21]

That was freakin' hilarious. The video is top-notch.

[BlanetheTrain(assimilator)]

Come on, we have an army.

Lol.

Awesome video.

I say he can keep ranting with his twisted facts and manipulated studies. It's only going to cause games to become racier and more mature so they can gain publicity. Which isn't always the best thing, but at least I believe that his bullshit can't change anything.

[captcollins]

Just have sex with me Geoff, please.

[w4r10r]

freakin' awesome!
rated 5 stars on the youtube link ;D

I especially digged the part where you went through all the games for the different consoles, epic!
It was kind of like a classy video of showing how retarded Jacky is, Great job.
