I'll be generous and guess 3 days (72 hours), mostly because they still haven't identified the gunman. Once they do, Jack will have to call up someone who knew him and ask if the gunman ever played, saw someone play, or hear about a Rockstar game before he can start throwing blame.

I gave Mr. Thompson WAAAAAY too much credit...

indeed you did. The concepts evidence and common sence are things that escape jack tompson.

Ok, heres how it goes "I never planned YTMND as a "community","- max. In other words, This is NOT a forum. Also your headline "Guess the time till Jack Thompson exploits trajedy for personal gain" might as well have had your name on it, and the time was "Created on: 2007-04-16 18:14:43" :

My god, this is a stunning revelation! Wait, what the f*ck was your point again?

+27

The point is, somber *ss ytmnds with headline events like this are the bottom of the barrell imo. I'm sure you are raising valid points but this has no reason to be here. And if you are getting ratings for anything relating to the VTech tragedy it just feels nasty. I wouldn't touch this story with a ten foot pole.

I agree with nutnics. So Jack Thompson is still an attorney. Digg had a top voted article up about Jack Thompson's comments on this issue ALL DAY. Congrats on turning YTMND into a piece of sh*t.

My statement here has nothing to do with VTech, only Jack Thompson's reaction to it and his eagerness to exploit it baselessly without any opposition from mainstream media.

wow, u guys are very whiney bitches. i thought it was funny and true (3 days, 1 week tops). it has every reason to be here if he wants it to be.

Come on guys, it's just a site. Also, this is better than most of the sh*t lately.

Yea, you definitely did give him way too much credit...

"And if you are getting ratings for anything relating to the VTech tragedy it just feels nasty. I wouldn't touch this story with a ten foot pole." I'd do it but I've got a busy half week of work to do. Also if you can't make jokes about tragedies then the terrorists and random sociopathic asian kids have won, and we can't have that. I think his slutty girlfriend is to blame. Who's with me?

oh this was supposed to be funny?

this site has value. you should question the reporting of tragedies and their exploitation and be aware of how people's grief is manipulated. and damnit i agree with korf41 completely, its all the slutty girlfriends fault

you can always count on him to be a douche

holy f*ck when I glanced over google news this morning it said one person had died now its 32 what the christ. anyway this guy + fox news = human garbage.

5'd for the second most important news story of the day so far. This guy needs to be stopped about as much as Al Sharpton, imho.

although i read his bio on wiki about shootings at school, the video gamer nerds at school are creepy so meh

I'm sure you saw the story on DIGG and decided to reverse engineer it into a guessing game.

-20 [show comment][hide comment]

Why would I make a guessing game about it if I'd known that Jack had already blamed videogames?

You'd make it a guessing game because you're a liberal commie bastard, and you love the attention, you whore... :P jack thompson is a c*ck... his entire logic can be disputed in one statement: the middle east has far less of a market for video games and things like that, yet violence seems to be the norm over there... : god, i cant stand that motherf*cker... the bodies aren't eve cold, and he's figured it all out... cuz jack thompson is so in touch with todays youths

5 for douchebaggery! (is that a word?)

It is now!

yeah i must say that guy is an incredible prick. he made himself famous through tragedies like this.

god I'm not suprised. keep blaming it on the video games...THAT will solve the problem

props for making something that should be shown on the news

lol its stupid sh*ts like him that are to blame

No it's not videogames that caused this. It's gay people, duh. Obviously god is punishing us for our blatant sins; don't you guys ever listen to Pat Robertson?

+1

Omigosh, a dude just got into a car crash and shot a guy, video games must of had a hand in it

F*CK JACK THOMPSON! also thank you good sir for informing us on how quick he was to shoot his load onto us.

yeah. he beat you to it stupid f*ck jack thompson

Biggest douche in the universe? Well actually, you forgot Maplejet

+1

Maplejet is only a douche to the FPA on one website. As much as I like you guys,it hardly qualifies as biggest douche in the universe.

I like the idea, but I feel a). you overplay your hand and clearly identify your vested interest, as opposed to simply making fun of the way people like JT operate, and b). it's just kind of a wall of text. You could keep the equation image, keep the main title, keep the sound (creates a nice effect right when the page opens) and just lose the rest of the text, and you'd actually have a fairly effective ytmnd. as it is, it's way too bloated for non- or casual gamers to appreciate.

Someone should just force him to play a video game on national television. If what he says is true, he'll go on a homicidal rampage and the cops will take him down. If he's wrong, then he finally has to shut his trap. Either way, we win.

+2

You people who doubt him need to look at the statistics...if you count columbine and today, that's 3 people who have shot up their schools and killed lots of people. In a VERY conservative estimate, let's say 10 million people have played violent video games...that's .00003% of people!!! If you don't consider 0.00003% of people who experience the "cause" showing the supposed effect to be statistically significant, you're mildly intelligent!

+1

While you have a good point there have been a sh*t load of people who shot up their schools. The nice thing is that most of them don't play video games.

Leave it to Fox news to get Jack as the first person to talk about the issue. God I hate Fox News

just checking.

They made fun of AIDS on South Park, they even had this discussion. Yes, we're allowed to laugh about AIDS because South Park says so.

+1

I had the same thought when I first heard about the shooting.

This myopic humor is grossly overshadowed by a tragedy that is still unfolding. Some Christian Republican will probably make ill-conceived connection to this violent act with media you hold dear like video games. Critiquing Jack Thompson's reaction is something for retrospect after closure and not for now when they're still literally removing the bodies from the dormitory. The cliche "too soon" has never been more appropriate.

-1

Wow, fast. I was about to bet 3 days. What a retard, they don't even know who or what did it and he's already blaming videogames. Could be a Unabomber type of guy who shuns technology for all we know.

The purpose of this site no longer exists, so why isn't it deleted yet?

Because it is teh funny. I mean, the guy is even more of an *ssh*le than anyone expected him to be.

I think it's horrific.... by the speed of response

+1

I've written many papers and have participated in many official debates debunking the popular belief that violent video games provoke acts of violence like this. I always prove this theory wrong. Always.

Sarge, you got your paper online anywheres? I work in the industry and would love to see it.

you PROVE it wrong? like, empirically? ALWAYS? with YTMNDers like you, who needs experts?

Well, the shooter was asian.

Lmao, SPB.

IT WAS TONY

I give him 30 hours from the time of shooting to strike.

People died and all you care about is someone talking about some sh*tty video games? Drown yourself in a pool of lysol...

He's referring to the vultures profiting from the incident by blaming this on videogames before even all the facts are in, you dumb f*ck. Do you ever get tired of being stupid?

+3

Who cares? That's what they do on the news when all the info isn't in smartguy, make claims, speculate, bring in people w/ dffering opinions etc. They need SOMETHING to talk about. Cry about your f*cking video games some other time...

-9

You're right. If video games never existed, this would not have happened.

Boohoo, people died. I mean, it's not like people die EVERYDAY. We shouldn't think about anything else than the people that we don't know who died. Now, let's all sit in a circle and reminisce about those total strangers and the impact they had upon our life.

its tough to give a f*ck when u look around at some other places in the world. sure its bad, but did u know in many countries torture is ok? of course you do, you just dont care cuz its not at home.

F*ck Jack Thompson. He should seriuosly go out, by a PS2 or any game system, get him some GTA, God of War, Manhunt, etc.

I approve of this. Also good call on the "biggest douche of the universe".

no comment.

-2

I thought he already did it.

I knew Jack was going to do something like this but I didn't know it will be this quick. Ahhh silly Christian fundamentalist lawyer.

I'd laugh anyways because anyone who blames violence in video games makes peopel do crazy things is an idiot/douchebag . Makes me want to get him and joe lieberman together and punch them both.

For anyone who says that this is "too soon," since when has YTMND been a place for sensitivity and respect? Did you guys not see all the "lol, stingray" sites that appeared after Steve Irwin's death? This is a great site, and it's full of truth. Sad truth.

i was told that the guy was a supposed "chinese nationalist" /shrug so i'd love to see how they pin this on video games 4 for humor, making fun of jack thompson, making fun of the inevitable

Everyone in the media right now is attacking videogames. What's funny is that the news media shows clips of the gore from Virgina Tech every second they get. Right after they show more clips of our soldiers getting killed in Iraq, sent by a president who's more violent than any videogame I've ever seen. The real problem is that all our nation's institutions are run by old c*nts who have been in charge for way too long.

k, but I think its kinda funnay

Sorry PCF, but the idiocy of the American media will always make me laugh. I'd probably give this a three if so many people didn't downvote out of some sort of misguided principle.

Fack C*ckson you sh*tting moron

Strangely enough since I started playing Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, I've gotten strong urges to blast a room full of people with a panzerfaust.

It's not video games, it's not guns, it's not violence on TV. It is a sickness that plagues mankind. Thousands die every day at the hands of others. This shouldn't be excluded as a "tragedy" nor was it preventable. These things are going to happen as long as mankind competes for their place on this planet.

Are you referring to the Xenu thing? ;)

Jackass TWOMPson.

When "too soon" and "right on, lol" mix, I tend to lean toward the latter.

Of course he's an expert, he's proven his "facts" concerning previous shootings to always be 100% accurate and never debunked at all. Fox News clearly does their homework and researches people's claims of being an "expert" long before allowing them to speak on the air about a horrific tragedy only 7 hours after it happened.

+1

F*CK I GOT ANAL LEAKAGE

+2

i hate him so much. He has perverted my mind such that the first thing I thought of when I heard about the shooting was "Wonder how long it'll take him to blame it on video games." What a douchebag.

Laughing at a tragedy like this is pure sh*t. You think it's funny that 32 innocent people lost their lives yesterday? That's not funny at all. It was plainly obvious that Jack was going to blame video games on the incident. This site also makes me hate digg.com even more.

-3

Of course, we are saying that the deaths of these people are funny. I mean... Uh... Oh, wait, that's right, you're a f*cking retard who makes baseless claims. The funny thing is that Thompson is even more of a douchebag than anybody expected. If you somehow read "LOL, 32 PEOPLE DIED", then you have a serious mental retardation problem.

Yea have to admit your statement is pretty retarded. This ytmnd isn't about the 32 that died it is about how long until Thompson blamed video games for the shooting.

"You think it's funny that 32 innocent people lost their lives yesterday?" Yes. Yes I do.

^^ If we made fun of 9/11, what makes you think were gonna stop for this ?

Thompson is an *ssh*le. Predicting that he's gonna do something heartless to push his own agenda isn't that difficult. He does this in EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE OF GUN VIOLENCE.

No, it's not difficult. The humor is in the fact that he went so fast that even his detractors couldn't call him on it.

Ahhh..Douchebag Thompson...good to see you again.

YOU CAN SEE INTO THE FUTURE

I take my anger out on video games so that I don't spaz on people in rl. not "ZOMG I CAN'T BEAT THIS LEVEL!! I'M GUNNA KILL A BUNCH OF PEOPLE." I'm pretty sure video games had nothing to do with the shooting.

+1

I would just like to say that it seems that alot of people actually believe stuff like this. We had a discussion about this in three of my classes, and all three teachers said something about violent video games maybe being a cause.

f*ck this cracker

What a douche.

5 for truth (The real reason he did this was because he was a creative english major who loved writing. Guess what, video games don't kill people, ENGLISH W131 KILLS PEOPLE)

+3

he thinks video games are violent? Too bad I've read some of his quotes: "I love the smell of burning gamers in the morning."

8 hours? Damn.

ya i will up vote this however down vote Jack Thompson who else would try to turn a profit about such a tragedy i seriously hope he sees this

He says that playing GTA and Doom can improve you ability to kill innocent people. Does that mean that if I play WiiSport I'll be better at real sports? If I play Kirby will I be better at inhaling enemies?

+1

Wii sports actually improved my bowling game

+4

Win, but not in a good way. It's horrible that the entire thing ever happened and that guys like Jack Thompsan are around.

This always gets way out of hand. Since they dont play video games and dont understand them, they want them gone. I can garuntee you if the same could be said about horror films or even magicians attempting the "Magic Bullet" trick (catches a bullet in their mouth), in that politicains and journalists didnt like either of those, then sure enough people like M. Night Shamalan (wrong spelling I figure) and Penn & Teller would be getting sued. This situation shows how dumb these people are.
