		In it, Attorney General Janet Reno was accused of suffering from "Parkinson's dementia," causing her to, among other things, try to play "When The Saints Go Marching In" on a Caribbean steel drum in her office and playing with a pitchfork.

		Thompson's unique campaign message was that Reno was unfit for the job because, as a closeted lesbian with a drinking problem, she was great candidate for flmail by the criminal element.

	Comment: Media ignorance adds fuel to Thompson's fire // GamesIndustry.biz
		Thompson unquestionably has egg on his face over the whole affair, and having recently lost the support of the National Institute on Media and the Family, it might look like this tireless crusader for censorship is taking a tumble.
		However, Thompson seems to be a strong believer in the idea that no publicity is bad publicity - and even in the thick of these latest disputes, he's found time to go onto CNN and spout outright misinformation about Midway's new sports game, Blitz: The League.
		By now, we all know that Thompson is wrong; the task ahead of the videogames industry and community is ensuring that the media now also learns that he is not an expert, is not an educated commentator and is not the kind of person to whom they should be giving airtime or column inches.

	Aaron McKenna: In Defense of Jack Thompson \| TG Daily (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Jack Thompson, Miami Attorney at Law and self-appointed videogames watchdog, has received a lot of flak from the videogaming fraternity of late - flak which he has not been averse to returning - for his stances on violent and sexually explicit videogames, and the manner in which he sometimes puts across his message.
		Thompson may or may not want all videogames exterminated from the face of the planet, but he's a realist, and what we both agreed on is that the ratings system in the US is just plain stupid.
		The second thing that Thompson and I agreed on, and this applies to the UK as well as the US, is that enforcement of these ratings needs to be much more stringent in retail outlets.

	Jack Thompson is blasted by pro-family group // GamesIndustry.biz

		Walsh's letter comes just days after Thompson issued an open letter to the videogames industry in which he outlined his idea for a game where the CEO of fictional company Take This, Paula Eibel, is murdered along with her husband and children.

		Miami attorney Jack Thompson is at it again, this time suing the maker of Grand Theft Auto because the video game supposedly drove some dopey kids in Tennessee to go out and shoot up passing cars.
		Any down time saw Thompson lend his talents to hounding Ice T over "Cop Killa," and he was also a primary force behind 2-Live Crew's obscenity woes.
		Thompson's reference to The Manchurian Candidate tells us he believes in the idea that individuals can be conditioned or brainwashed to do things they would not otherwise do.

		If Thompson ever even had this information to begin with, which is doubtful, him holding it hostage until he gets what he wants in this ase is nothing more than the paranoid, delusional ramblings of a petulant child.
		If Jack has this information Foti and Guidry would have it in hand without this juvinile bullshit and if he doesn't or it doesn't hold up then the industry proves once again that he's full of shit.
		And yes, it is childish to hold support from something he created, as well as to not have the courtesy to directly speak to those he has issues with, but to instead wave their dirty laundry to other members of the issue (the gov) and the media.
