This sums up everything that has happened.

I just hope some people will learn how stupid all this stuff is. Jack's case is so rediculous, people might start believing us for a change.

Flordia Bar Association.
You could have read the article, y'know.

Did you imagine the final sound as a gun? Or the shattered windows of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out was a song?

Jack Thompson is not under investigation by the Florida Bar Association. At least not for his most recent drama involving Penny Arcade and directly assaulting gamers.

Seems like a lot of gamer-biased media outlets jumped the gun on their assumptions earlier in the day.

Hee. :D

As for the Blitz thing, I'm fairly certain Midway is thanking him.

Last I checked, Midway is using the ill-fated former ESPN drama "Playmakers" as the backdrop for their new Blitz (since they cannot use the NFL license). But that was a long time ago, so that might no longer be true.
