Additonal Info:
Anti-videogames attorney Jack Thompson has contacted Take-Two demanding that the publisher remove a section of its upcoming title Grand Theft Auto IV by September 21.
The controversial Thompson specifically targeted an early scene in the game, in which the main character’s objective is to kill an anti-games lawyer. Documents filled earlier this week to a federal court in Florida reveal that Thompson penned a letter insisting the scenes were of direct reference to him, and demanded the content be removed by the end of the week.
“The showcasing play of the game to Game Informer revealed that the first killing mission of the “hero” of the game, Niko, is to kill a certain lawyer. When Niko comes into this lawyer’s office, having used subterfuge to do so, Niko pulls a gun on the lawyer who says, “that the firm supports the second amendment’ and that ‘Guns don’t kill people. Video games do”, said Thompson.
“This faux quotation, which I have never uttered is nevertheless attributed to me at countless Internet sites…"
“The fact that the lawyer, killed on Niko’s first mission, would bring up video games, makes it clearly a reference to me…
This is not the first time Rockstar Games and Take Two have targeted me in this fashion. Take Two references to me as a bisexual pedophile on its corporate website….”, he added.
Concluding, Thompson further added that he feels the scene could potentially lead to copycat killings, claiming his own safety could be put at risk.
He demanded the content be removed by 5pm this Friday, warning: “Govern yourselves accordingly, or else.”

hahaha... awesome
what an idiot! i wish somebody kills him!
EVeryone who reads this PLEASE DON'T KILL THE MAN !!!!!! He has now admitted that he is scared of gamers and now know that were some crazy SOB's. Anyway Take Two Developers are even more crazier SOB's for even putting that in the game. I like it!!
He should be afraid, but not due to this game. It's not Rockstar's fault he's a giant dousche. He'll never win this fight to alter this game.
lol serves him right for being a such an ignorant fool
This bloke is either a raving loony with certain paranoia problems or a complete arrogant tw*t either way i hope they get to not only keep the scene but change the guys name to Jack Thompson.
what a idiot !
haha good way to stick it to the guy
Its just a video game. Dont punish us who can tell the difference between a game and reality. :(
-dad
psn id: gingo... lol he deserves this for moaning about notihng, videogames are there for entertainment they dont make people do out and chop someones head off unless they are already unstable
If they make R* change the game I've lost all hope in a free world. Though that's highly unlikely IMO :D
I am sure there is a disclaimer to cover their asses...good publicity stunt though!
Someone snot this clown. Please. I mean really punch this bozo in the nose for real - not virtually.
HA! I can't wait to kill him in gta IV, that's worth buying the game alone!
Hes drawing more attention to himself this way - I would have never known who he was. Now us dangerous ,physcopathic gamers will have to stock him....ha ha ha **evil laugh**.......what a dummy!
by suiting take two hi is putting his life on danger because he is making this public and there are a lot of crazy people out there that now know who hi is.... P.S. this guy is an IDIOT!!!
or else what?? lol I hope they don't remove it
What a bastard. Guarenteed this man owns both a 360 and a PS3!! haha!
Wow this game is going to be good game if it pissed off some old fart anti-Violence game lawyer.
Crap, Jack Thompson again... perhaps he should be shot after all. I hate that idiot and I truly hope that Rockstar finds some way of keeping the scene in the game.
Keep the scene and everyone play it over and over!!!
LOL
Buy Blu-ray movies
lol you better hide jack
its cause of people like him THAT THESE GAMES END UP ENDING QUICKER!
Holy poop. Get over yourself you sleazy dirt bag. OH wait I better not say that or he'll get upset and try to sue me. I'm going to buy the game just for that scene now. I'll restart over and over again just to see it. F'ing lawers. Get bent.
niiiiiiiiiiiice, but they better not remove the scene lol. this guy has/and will always be the biggest tool to try and take on video games. he's a bigger tool than that gabe newell guy or whatever dudes name is.
Not this guy again
doesnt he have anything better to do
im sure Rockstar will do something even if they remove it they will put something else lol
this guy must of got bullied at school. he sounds so perfetic "miss the other kids are picking on me booohooo" grow up jack "wanka" thompson.
why is this bisexual pedophile complaning, By law Rockstar dosent have to do anything but put "if any characters in this game living or dead resymbol real life peope its purly coincidental" thats it.
WOW, thats classic!! nThe thing is , if someone does kill him, who will be around to point the finger at the video games........
I wasnt going te get GTA IV because I know it will be a let down compared to its rivals made specifically for the PS3, but I might just pick it up to support them if they keep that scene in!
Way to grab him by the balls Take Two!
lmao keep it in its too f***ing hilarious
thats awesome:P
i like my games the way they are....but then again i am considerably over 18 so i don't need my games censored. however, i fully support following the laws in place to keep violent games and adult music and movies away from minors. of course mr. thompson takes a good point and totally goes over-board with it thus ruining people like me's views on this. i hate it when someone hi-jacks a cause for their own selfish reasons. that said you people show a ton of maturity. you wonder why there is people out there like him yet you fail to read the utter drivel that you write. i would say to grow up but unfortunately alot of you should be old enough to know better. and i wouldn't be suprised if he wins his case as people have won with much less in common with characters in books and movies. besides both sides have now won because they both received some PR that they both crave.
im looking forward to that mission
lmao! Man I love Rockstar :)
to put icing on the cake, take two should name the character Tom Jackson, that'll be hilarious.
What a tosser... does he know what free speech and the right to express yourself in anyway means?? perfect example of tosserism...
GTA reminds me of southpark. they just love to create controversy.
I say waste the chump!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Eff you Jack. I as much as I'd love to see someone actually kill him I hope he lives a long paranoid life constantly looking over his shoulder for an attack that will never come untill he's pushed even further over the edge into the abyss od psychosis he's started climbing into years ago.
Anyway the content is protected under parody law, Jack cant demand Jack-shiste as long as it's meant to be funny.
Poor little baby can't take a joke,go get banged you bi$exual!!!
WOW, what an idiot
