The fraud strikes again. Miami attorney Jack Thompson steps up and shows he doesn’t know one thing about video games. He known for his anti-fun policy in video games but most recently the San Andreas Hot Coffee mess. Jack Thompson has set his sights on the Sims 2. The game is rated T for Teen Thompson states, “Sims 2, the latest version of the Sims video game franchise … contains, according to video game news sites, full frontal nudity, including nipples, penises, labia, and pubic hair.” All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. Apparently a rather dim boy as well. Jack doesn’t seem to understand what a video game is. I wouldn’t be surprised if he thought computers ran on dark wizard magic. There terrible things he claims are in the Sims 2 are put there by modifications. They don’t come with the packaged game. You need to actively seek out files on the internet to add this content. The content wasn’t hiding, like in Grand Theft Auto. The dirty content was never there at all. The Sims have no genitalia. They are like Ken and Barbie under the blurred out graphics. Jack Thompson should be removed from society. He obviously doesn’t understand anything about the real world. His lawsuits could be compared to suing a coffee mug maker for not labeling the item as a choking hazard because someone might put marbles in the mug. It’s time to sit back and watch EA’s lawyers tear this guy a new one. Filed under: A 47 Danger and PC and Rant Comments:

Some more choice quotes from Thompson:
“The blur is an admission that even the ‘Ken and Barbie’ features should not be displayed. The blur can be disarmed. This is no different than what is in San Andreas, although worse.”
And, especially choice:
One can remove the blur over naked Sims “much to the delight, one can be sure, of pedophiles around the globe who can rehearse, in virtual reality, for their abuse.”
Retard.
Seriously, though. What does it take for the mainstream media to learn when a person is ill-informed about what they’re talking about? When does some reporter do a minimum amount of research to find out that most of the “facts” are wrong, and that the megaphone should probably be taken away from this guy?
