Jack Thompson Reaches Out To Take-Two Exec's Mother
Found on Wired on Saturday, 03 May 2008
To decry the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto IV, Jack Thompson sent a message to the mother of Take-Two Chairman Strauss Zelnick.
The email is provocative, to say the least. Not only does it say Mr. Zelnick is "like the Hitler Youth," it also attributes the deaths of three Alabama policemen and "a recent plethora of cop killings" to prior entries in the GTA series.
I encourage everybody to visit Wired and read the complete email he sent. Seriously, he must be mental. He obviously believes that Strauss Zelnick's mother will (and can) stop her adult son, the chairman of a million dollar company, from selling nothing but a game. Even better, he thinks that citing a bunch of bible verses strengthens his point. Well if they do, let me say this: "The nut doesn't fall far from the tree"; and what a big nut we do have here.
