Topic: Jack's next target... Wendy's.

[Xessive]

This was up on 3D Gamers, but the original source is Kotaku.

Not content to sue (so far this year) the Florida Bar, the Florida Supreme Court, GTA publisher Take-Two Interactive and leading gaming blog Kotaku, game-hatin’ barrister Jack Thompson has focused on a new target, burger franchise Wendy’s.

In the latest issuance from his nonstop e-mail machine, Thompson turns his attention to Wendy’s CEO Kerri Anderson. What’s Thompson’s gripe? Obesity? Cholesterol? The Frostys are too thick to suck through a straw?

Nope, It’s Rockstar’s upcoming Manhunt 2. So just what is Wendy’s connection with Manhunt 2? There isn’t one, unless you connect the dots the way Jack Thompson connects the dots.

With essentially no one left to sue, Thompson has latched onto a Wendy’s promotional tie-in with Nintendo Wii toys (pictured at left). The issue seems to be that:
a.) Manhunt 2 is what Thompson calls a “murder simulator”
b.) Manhunt 2 will appear on the Wii (among other systems)
c.) Wendy’s is promoting the Wii, therefore;
d.) Wendy’s is promoting Manhunt 2, which promotes murder

Thompson also claims to have the inside track on what deceased Wendy’ founder Dave Thomas would have wanted in this regard:

A dear friend of mine worked for Wendy’s and with Dave Thomas closely for years. From that I know that Dave Thomas never would have tolerated the use of Wendy’s good name to promote Nintendo’s Wii, not with this game available on the Wii platform.

So now Jack's evidence is hearsay from a friend of a friend of a dead guy. Yeah, I'm sure that will hold up in court. Kudos Jack kudos.

Any credibility this guy could have possibly had before has just gone down the drain. WTF is his problem?!

Man, that's not faulty logic or anything.....

This guy is an idiot. Someone should kick him for being stupid.

[TheOtherBelmont]

Hahahaha holy crap, that's good.  If this goes to court its going to get thrown out.  That's all Jack Thompson is good for now, a laugh.

I think he's basically just committing career suicide at this point.  Maybe he just wants his madness to end.

[sirean_syan]

How did we ever worry about this guy? Well... how did I ever think he might accomplish something?

[Ghandi]

Because people are stupid and this guy is stupid, so they will listen to him. It's science.

[scottws]

I am dumbfounded that he hasn't had his license to practice law in every state revoked.

[Quemaqua]

At this rate, he's going to.

[MysterD]

At this rate, he's going to.

Agreed.

[sirean_syan]

... damn it. I want Wendy's again. I just went last week.
