Jack Thompson Sues Valve

In yet another round of litigious angst, gaming opponent and sue-happy attorney Jack Thompson, has filed a lawsuit against Valve, claiming that the “Orange Box” misleads parents and endangers children. I caught up with Thompson via telephone, earlier today.

The so-called “Orange Box” is so generic and unassuming, that it masks the violence and filth that lies beneath. Parents might mistake it for a children’s game. I mean it looks like MS Word. What we are seeking is an injunction against Valve, a full recall, and a package that isn’t so….. damned boring.

Thompson went on to tell me, that if I didn’t like it, I could “go perform an anatomically impossible task upon myself.” Our Sarcastic Gamer attorneys have been placed on high alert.

Who should Jack sue next? Tell him on our forums. Not a member? Take just a moment and join now!

      OBJECTION!!!

      One. If the parents dont have the sense to look at the back of the box and actually THINK about the game before buying it then its the fault of the PARENTS that their children are playing violent games and NOT the fault of Valve.

      Two. You, Mr. Thompson have lost your attorneys licence before due to your attempts to ban videogames. If you continue to act in this way you will more than likely lose it for good.
