Jack Thompson Agrees to Debate Fake Samuel L. Jackson, Then Chickens Out
Posted by Brian Ashcraft at 1:00 AM on February 21, 2008
Remember when Jack Thompson read a News Groper post about him written by the fake Samuel L. Jackson, thought it was the real Samuel L. Jackson, challenged that fake Samuel L. Jackson to a debate, flattered the fake Samuel L. Jackson, sent us a "press release" that Samuel L. Jackson had blogged about him and then finally realized that that Samuel L. Jackson was actually the fake Samuel L. Jackson? We sure do! Here's the fake Samuel L. Jackson's reply to Thompson's debate dare:
Dare? Hell yeah, you dare Sam Jack and you damn well better expect a response. NewsGroper took him up on that shit. We spent all day emailing him, responding to his emails, working out a system to get this debate on the road. And at the last minute-I bullshit you like I'd bullshit Christ Almighty-the motherfucker bailed like Bowser at the end of level three of Super Mario.He emailed us this: you know, some people have died because of jerkballs like jackson and his spike tv vga award mentality, so I'll take a pass. grow up
First of all, what the fuck? Why dare me to debate, spend all day organising that debate, then insult me and pull out like the Purple fucking Pie-Man coming up against Strawberry Shortcake?
And then you call me a jerkball? What the fuck is a got-damn jerkball? Is that like a tribble with Parkinsons?
The fake Samuel L. Jackson pinged us last night, bringing word that News Groper had actually spent the entire day trying to set up that debate. You know, the one that Jack Thompson proposed to obviously the totally fake Samuel L. Jackson. To save face, Thompson at one point during the day yesterday actually agreed to "play along" and debate the fake Samuel L. Jackson. A format was established, and then Thompson suddenly declined, saying that the real Samuel L. Jackson was just as responsible for gun deaths as video games. Once again, Jack Thompson's logic astounds! What we do know: Fake Samuel L. Jackson would've so kicked his motherfucking ass in a debate.

The worst (best?) part of the whole thing was Jacko posting his personal contact info on the interwebs and then spreading it around to news sites like this before realizing (far too late) that he'd been duped.
I, personally, left him a funny/insulting voicemail. Anyone else?

You think Thompson would bother to spend time on a PR stunt with someone who wasn't actually famous?
How would that serve his interests?
The only person JT really cares about is himself, and his entire life's work serves only to support the idea. Has he ever worked on a case involving "videogame violence" for free? I doubt it, as much as I doubt his appearances on Fox News aren't nice little paydays for talking shit about something he doesn't understand.
He only seeks out high-profile opportunities to spout his rhetoric, and only when it gets him face time with people more famous than he is, or gets himself paid.
No bother. Vanity and Greed are both sins, and ones he will have to eventually answer for to the God he so vacuously claims to deify...

I'm starting to think that Jack Thomson is a character, much like Larry the Cable Guy. This could be his way of trying to become the main character in bad comedy movies.
Now he just needs a catch phrase. "Jerkball" might work.

I think I might cry now. I had these wonderful mental images of the debate, mainly that of Sam Jackson with a lightsaber towering over Thompson whos cowering (more than likely spelled incorrectly) in a dark corner. A soft purple glow falling on his face showing a single tear rolling down Thompson's face.

If every rabid fanboy troll spliced their genetic material together, Jack Thompson would be the unholy spawn. Not only does he hate your favorite videogame system--he hates them all! Plus, he operates by baiting a foreseeable argument with ridiculously inflammatory claims. I guess videogames are his new trolling grounds, since we in the legal field got tired of his antics long ago (and can actually disclipine him for his craziness).
This has to be my favorite JT story: Jack Thompson gave Janet Reno a letter at a campaign event requesting that she check a box to indicate whether she was homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual. Thompson said that Reno then put her hand on his shoulder and responded, "I'm only interested in virile men. That's why I'm not attracted to you." He then filed a police report accusing her of battery for touching him.

I'm surprised he went as far as saying that Jackson has caused deaths. Tbh, he probably has, but any movie, game or book that challenges your perceptions will get a few people reacting in extreme ways to it. That doesn't mean we should stop challenging people...

Pretty hilarious stuff. I think his phone number from Jack's e-mail to the the fake Samuel L. Jackson still works, give that guy a call, it's got his cell in the answering machine lol.
I would care a lot less about Jack's crusade against videogames if focused more on realistic consequences of gaming. I'm thinking mostly about the possible addictions, like WoW, which I believe is a bit more popular than Counter-strike now. Even without being able to use school shootings as a crutch (that isn't even related)in an argument against WoW, he would still be exhibiting the tiniest bit more logic than he seems to normally do.
