Jack Thompson is the boogeyman of the video games industry.  At least, that’s how he’d like to be known, just ask him.  Now that he’s no longer a member of the Florida State Bar, he’s become an Internet tourist attraction.

Good morning. It’s Fiction Friday. I wish this were fiction, but it’s true as far as I can gather from CVG.
Apparently, Jack Thompson has sent another one of his famous “Letters” to none other than the MOTHER of Rockstar Chief, Strauss Zelnick. On the paper, which was reported to have been doused heavily in Aqua [...]
