Slightly old, but still miles of WTF.
Jack Thompson has an interesting idea of how to celebrate Mother's Day: by sending a letter directed towards a video game company's CEO's mom.

Hasn't this guy been disbarred already?

They really are taking a long time disbarring him. Especially when he doesn't stop giving them reasons to do it.

Wow.


Wait... He's a lawyer?

You didn't know? Yeah, he's a lawyer.

Oh, man. Somehow, I managed to miss that tidbit of information. That just makes it all such a much bigger ball of WTFLOL and pathetic.

Pornography. Violence. And it's all a woman's fault! Phew, for a moment there I thought it might be a man-thing...

It's our job to keep the menz from doing the nasty, don't you know!

(Meanwhile, I'm going to go back to being a mom who writes Silent Hill porn...)

Mostly het with some f/f. I write many pairings and for all the games except 0rigins (which I haven't played yet) and for the movie, but I'm still in the PG-13s with my Silent Hill 3 fic. I'm kind of obsessed, especially with the women...

I do have a Pyramid Head/James lurking somewhere though.

Ah, okay. I tend to like my SH featuring at least one of the monsters--bonus points for Pyramid Head's Freudian self. Link?

The Last Door NC-17.

(If you like monster fic I have a friend who writes monster gen ficlets, with mannequins and sometimes PH. -- I'm serious when I say it's gen. -- It's very poetic, if that doesn't sound too insane. I also have PH/Maria recs. I'm weird that way.) *stops being pushy*

Ooh, approval!

Monsterfics would also be nice. For some reason I get more attached to them than the humans.

I'm so glad you liked it! Here are my friend's monster ficlets, in my comm. (Some of these are about humans, but it's pretty obvious which are which from the headings. They're quirky, in a good way, but not to everybody's taste as they're more lyrical than brutal.)

(The porn in the comm is f-locked but these aren't porn anyway...)

I would think Mrs. Zelnick could reasonably have Wacky Jacky's butt nailed to the wall for harassment, couldn't she?

Technically the letter went to his lawyer and not to her, so I'm not sure.

One of these days, someone has to write Jack's mother a letter.

Dear Ma'am,

Your son is entirely divorced from reality, but according to his logic, it's all your fault.

Fix it now,
Us.

He's still in the process of being disbarred in Florida. I love this description of one motion he filed: it contained "swastikas, kangaroos in court, a reproduced dollar bill, cartoon squirrels, Paul Simon, Paul Newman, Ray Charles, a handprint with the word 'slap' written under it, Bar Governor Benedict P. Kuehne, a baby, Ed Bradley, Jack Nicholson, Justice Clarence Thomas, Julius Caesar, monkeys, [and] a house of cards."

I have a lovely mental image of him sitting in a tiny room, a single desk lamp illuminating his keyboard, furiously doing Google Image searches while cackling, "I'll get you next time, Florida Bar Association!"

There may or may not be a cat in his lap.

Kangaroo court: I do not think it means what you think it means, Jack.

"Maybe you, Mrs Zelnick, were so taken by your handsome son that you spared the rod and spoiled the child. That would explain why he has brought you, by the way he presently acts, to shame."

God do I hate that phrase.

And I really don't know how he possibly thinks this could accomplish... well, anything. He had to know it would get leaked, right? And he had to know it'd make him look like a Grade A asshole, right? Right?

"Your son is about to sell a product that promotes violence. I bet he wouldn't do that had you just beaten him more as a child."

Oh Jack Thompson...

With the amount of advertising Mr. Thompson does for these GTA guys they really should be paying him something.

innocent bystanders (whom you can run over with your car just for the heck of it)."

You know, I've never actually played any of the GTA games, but that bit is always what makes me want to play them. I hate it when you can move freely around the map and attack but can't kill random bystanders just for the hell of it. I want to hit things and make them die!

Picture of the day.

Also, it looks like the email actually went to the CEO's lawyer. Still wacky stuff, tho'.
