Jack Thompson, the Miami attorney who was a constant thorn in the side of many games developers, has now been officially disbarred.

Arkanrais · 29th Oct 2008, 14:46

Gunsmith · 29th Oct 2008, 14:52

best thing ive heard all day

s3v3n · 29th Oct 2008, 14:54

I bet he's going to write a book about this lol

UncertainGod · 29th Oct 2008, 15:00

/me wanders off to cook make some cheesecake.

samkiller42 · 29th Oct 2008, 15:01

noooooooo, there goes a little more humour from the industry, was amusing when looking on bit that he had done somthing stupid yet again, added some humour to my day, but now it's almost certainly gone.
But YAY, he has gone, at last

I somehow doubt that this will stop him from doing anything stupid

Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch!
Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Wicked Witch is dead!

and such

robbybertu15 · 29th Oct 2008, 15:11

Is it possible that he could just take the bar exam again in another state?

Darkefire · 29th Oct 2008, 15:13

Not dead, unfortunately, just declawed. He might not be able to sink his teeth into you anymore, but he'll still find ways to make himself heard. I foresee a "Special Correspondent" position on Fox News in his future.

Flibblebot · 29th Oct 2008, 15:34

At last.
The Supreme Court records make interesting reading. The causes for his disbarment go way beyond the amusing crap he's famous here for. I'd question how the man was ever allowed to practise law in the first place.

mclean007 · 29th Oct 2008, 16:01

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. What a clown. Gives us lawyers a bad name, and believe me we've got enough bad press as it is!

airchie · 29th Oct 2008, 16:43

I'm gonna miss him tbh.
I know he spoke utter drivel and far too many simple-minded parents etc believed everything he had to say but at least it put the focus on the fact kids can just go buy an 18 rated game without issue.
Or even worse, just get their parents to buy it for them.

WildThing · 29th Oct 2008, 16:50

Lol, owned.

kosch · 29th Oct 2008, 17:12

I wonder if b3ta has any amusing related pictures to this news!
