Remember how Jack Thompson has blamed video games for violence?
Remember how Jack Thompson has blamed the VT Shooting on video games, even though the guy responcible barely played any? (See the previous entry, if you didn't know)
Well, now Jack's got a new target. He's going after Halo 3 now.

That's right! Jack Thompson, Floridian Lawyer, is going after Microsoft, the people who own approximately 75% of the operating systems used by computers to date and probably own God himself. He's demanding a complete cease-and-desist on the making and release of Halo 3... sorta. Here's exactly what he demands:

Jacko wrote:

"Here’s the deal, Mr. Gates: Either Microsoft undertakes dramatic, real steps, through its marketing, wholesale, and retail operations to assure that Halo 3 is not sold, via the Internet and in stores, directly to anyone under 17, or I shall proceed to make sure that Microsoft is held to that standard by appropriate legal means. I have done that before successfully as to Best Buy, and I shall do so again as to Microsoft and all retailers of Halo 3."

That's right, 'ensure Halo isn't sold to everyone under 17 or else I'll flail my finger at you and try to sue you and everyone who sells the game - even if they never even sold it to someone under 17.'

Isn't that something along the lines of trying to stop a freight train with a penny?
When the penny's not even on the right track in the first place?
