Jack Thompson's "Modest Proposal"
Switchblade:
He's a fucktard. Ignore him and repeat after me:
"Calm blue ocean.... Calm blue ocean..."
Take a deep breath in through the nose.... hold... and breath out through the mouth....
Now, go print a "FUCK YOU, TOO, JACK THOMPSON." T-shirt and wear it with pride.

I don't understand why people get so worked up over this guy. I mean, yeah, he's an idiot. But just being an idiot doesn't merit all the "FUCKL YOU!!!1!!"
Se7en:
Hes a lawyer. Hes obviously making scads of cash out of creating this false crisis. Hes almost as bad as a televangelist.

He's not just an idiot. I mean, I don't want to make him seem more significant than the sad, frothing little man he is, but he's trying to hold back something that a lot of people enjoy, and something that moreover shows signs of eventually developing into an art form. Further, he's trying to relieve people of responsibility for their own actions by blaming video games: something that to my knowledge has never had any convincing evidence behind it and that gamers have been putting up with for years.
All this is nothing particularly new, but Mr. Thompson is doing it in a particularly repellent, offensive, unreasonable and intransigent way. Penny Arcade's news post from Friday 10/14 does a characteristically good job of conveying just how much of a douche the man is.

Valrus' suggestion to check PA garnered this awesome link. Even his "allies" think Jack is messed up.
