I hope you aren't intending to use the slang meaning for "An hero".
Because I was worried when I first read that post.

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. 
Seriously, we literallty have several thousands of people that would go knocking on his door irl with a zapper in hand threatening to micro his ass up if he didnt drop the lawsuit.

LOL - great music and clip.
We dont get much of Jack Thompson the lawyer down here in Aus.
We have a great actor called Jack Thompson though.
Our Jack is kinda cool. a well respected actor who works hard and has made a big contribution to the local film industry.
The north american jack sounds like he spends a lot of time tearing things down, trying to ruin people's fun, making people scared, and making money off of it. i like our one better.
Searching for more info on the evil jack thompson i found this old story, which seems to sum him up perfectly.

Anyway... there's no point fearing or raging against Jack Thompson. No matter how you cut it, there's always going to be someone out there who thinks videogames are of the devil, and should be banned, etc. However, we can all rest easy knowing that this person is Jack Thompson, for whom without which we might be left to deal with someone who is actually competent. You guys are worried about him suing Pure Pwnage? When was the last time he actually successfully sued someone?

Jack himself will see the video before long, if he hasn't already. I expect his reaction to be most entertaining.

I loved the song - good job!
I wonder if you would be interested in my reply. I don't come from a gaming generation, and in fact all I know about gaming comes from my son, an avid gamer, and of course pure pwnage, which is my favourite site of all internet sites.
Since I am old - like Jack - I wanted to mention 2 things that will continue to come around until the earth stops spinning.
One is that there will always be a conservative older contingent that will be SO TERRIBLY WORRIED about what the younger generation is doing. In my time, they thought kids were spending too much time listening to transistor radios, and they didn't approve of what was being said over them (can you imagine the uproar?). It takes a certain faith in the young to be able to find their own way, and apparently not all old folks have this kind of assuredness. Some just want parent by preaching about how to be, and you damn well better listen, because it's what they got to offer.
Two, is this. All of us humans are not perfect, and we sometimes unthinkingly make the mistake of using a crutch to help us along instead of some really workable solutions. Some of the older generation - in spite of their experience - easily blame the crutch as the problem, rather than a given maladaptive behavior of the human. You know of what I speak: impulse control problems range from shopping, drink, smoke, sex and just about everything else that delivers gratification, including gaming. Recently there has been fuss about kids refusing to go to school in lieu of gaming. Well, that is a terrible problem, but it is a problem that is going on at school, and not where it is being avoided. I don't envy that mothers struggle at all, just as I don't envy anyone who is broke from excessive shopping and drinking heavily because of it.
You will notice, however, that shopping and drinking are still essentially universally allowed.
So, to summarize - and thanks for your time - this Jack character is just another one of the usual goofs; he's preaching to us about how bad he had it with his chosen crutch of gaming. Keep an eye out that he doesn't fall into the trap of choosing another crutch instead of dealing with whatever his real problem is, and if he does, just benevolently wish him: there there. There, there, there, there.
Thanks all,
008 cats

Awesome song/vid.
This guy is seriously missing some components upstairs. Maybe his brain got the red ring of death or something. But seriously, if he wants to start saying that games are simply breeding nothing but violence, I say the board game of Life teaches people to crap out too many kids, and Monopoly teaches you to be a prick to people on your "property". I read somewhere that he was almost disbarred by Florida. Even a judge in one of his cases said "there are more important things to be done with our time" or something to that effect. He is a lawyer right? Tell him to go and either get a hobby (like video games games games) or retire. He is obviously not making a single ounce of a difference and if anything he has completely ruined his own name. I mean that quote page has things on it that I would think our current president of the USA is smarter than to say. And thats saying something.
Seriously Jack, sit down. Nobody cares.

Exactly. How many times did he go for R* and fail miserably? I really wonder how much of his life and money he has wasted trying to sue companies and getting laughed at.
I agree with you that I am glad it is Jack Thompson that is leading this crusade, because like you said, it could be someone compitent.

There will never be a "best movie of all time". I'll be damned if I let some douche piece of shit tell me what they say is the best movie of all time. The Godfather has been #1 on IMDB for as long as I can remember and I fall asleep through the movie every time I try to watch it. I have yet to see the whole movie in one sitting. The "best movie of all time" would have to be a movie where the majority of the people agree with calling it that. I never see this happening so the "best movie of all time" will always be an opinion.

This is a little off topic, but why the fuck do you have to be a fanboy? Why can't you just play games for the sake of playing games? By saying "LULZ NO CONSOLES R 4 N00BZ LOLOLOL" you are missing out on a lot of great games. A great game is a great game despite the platform it is on.

I don't get why people actually blame video games. Seriously. Anyone that posts daily on these forums has enough brains to connect the dots between a video and real life. I wonder if Jack Thompson has actually played a violent video game before. Some people's kids I tell ya..
Training on video games? The US military does it. Does that mean that they are going to go randomly to a school and shoot it up for no apparent reason?
Bottom line: Jack Thompson doesn't know a whole lot about video games and just wants a scape goat or something to blame. For the mean time, I'm gonna go frag some strogg.

Augh! The tune keeps going ON AND ON in my head!!
It goes "Video games, video games, video games games GAMES!" then "and over and over and over again.."
But it's a catchy tune. I hope no one attends Jack's funeral. Maybe I would, to wreak havoc and stand over his grave in laughter going "AHAHAHAH!!! YOU VIDEO GAMES HATER!!" or something..
