ok I was on a Gonintendo and I saw this.

“Miami attorney and anti-violent video game activist Jack Thompson has been asked by individuals in the United Kingdom to help stop the distribution of Take-Two / Rockstar’s hyperviolent video game Manhunt 2 in that country due out this summer. The game will feature stealth murder and torture. The last version allowed suffocation of victims with plastic bags.

The original Manhunt was responsible for the bludgeoning death of a British youth by his friend who obsessively played the game. The killer used a hammer just as in the game he played. Take-Two / Rockstar, anticipating the firestorm of criticism with the release of the murder simulator sequel, is lying to the public on both sides of the pond in stating this week that the game had nothing to do with the murder.

Take-Two is also stating that the sun does not rise in the east because Take-Two makes no money from its rising in the east. Take-Two has been repeatedly found in the U.S. by the federal government to be guilty of fraud, so what would one expect it to say.

Jack Thompson has agreed to this request from the U.K. Look for this effort to begin shortly given the summer of 2007 release date.”

Spread that misinformation Jack! When will this guy get it? As long as the title is rated appropriately, and retailers follow those guidelines, then there should be no issue. No worries though, Mr. Thompson always finds a way to make a problem where there isn’t one.

So if you didn't hear or read this "You just did" and if you did well you hread and read.

P.s wasn't Jack Thompson in jail or something?

Where'd you get this? The author sounds a little biased...

Yeah, that author is clearly a POV pusher.

Ah, appologies Stormie. Should've asked, "Who wrote this?"

One more example of why you should be skeptical of the press/media.

Good, get him the hell out of the U.S. Hopefully he'll break some law in the U.K. that we don't have over here.
