With his remaining time as a licensed attorney likely numbered in days rather than decades, you might think that anti-game campaigner Jack Thompson would be in something of a funk.
However, Thompson has e-mailed GamePolitics with a YouTube link to a new G4TV parody called Jack Thompson Was Right. His subject line? "Very Funny, Really"...
However, when we jumped over to YouTube the video was gone, and the following notice posted: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by g4 Media Inc."
No worries. G4TV still has the video...

Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Interesting that Mr. Thompson feels the need to show everyone a video about himself. Over-inflated ego perhaps? A video that some people may not have seen otherwise and that is about himself....he must love the publicity and attention. Just to remind us that he's still around.
Take Two took down the video? I thought it was G4...oh wait, Take Two created GTA so they must have conspired to keep Thompson from looking good. Maybe the janitor at G4 used to work at Take Two and used this opportunity to take down the video, the evil janitor.

Dude calm down its just a joke XD plus the video is right there*

That was hilarious. He should totally get that tat and become a pro body builder. I mean, after failing so miserably at being a lawyer, why not try it at some other profession.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
When ever I see JT these days the song "I fought the law, and the law won" pops into my head.
But that G4 video was indeed quite amusing.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Ooh, I hadn't thought of that one - one more item to add to the Disbarment-Day playlist.
So far I've got:
"Hit the Road, Jack", "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye", The GTA themesongs, and your entry.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Oh I so wanna see this as an actual movie. It'll be like a modernized version of Hot Shots. Oh and at some point in the movie JT gets wounded and has to go to a fast food place to get healed up again
Good Stuff
What ever happened to the easily trollable guy who can't take a joke? I guess he just changed into the weirdo who makes statements that make zero sense.
Anyways, thought this was funny when I saw it.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Of course JT likes it, for him there is nothing but good press (unless it contradicts him, then they are slanderous liars and must be sued).
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Has anyone watched the Escapist's Jack Thompson video? I'm surprised he hasn't done anything about it, despite the fact it's probably a foreign project.
PS - it's directed by "Uwe Boll". And that's reason enough to watch.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Where can we find it?
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
I was thinking of the same thing... actually.

Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
I lol'd hard at the edited interview with Adam Sessler, with Jack standing there half naked with steam rising behind him.

Funny as it is, G4 really does try too hard to be hip and cool. Kind of like CNN.

Re: -
Meh, I liked G4 back when it was just TechTV. Now a days it's more directed towards the college Fratboy crowd, i.e. Attack of the show with that human party favor Olivia Munn, and the Japanese game shows.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Never thought I'd say this, but thanks for sharing, Jack!
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
wait!
where's the countdown timer!?
But i have to agree with Jack Thompson's subject line.. it IS very funny (one of the few things i do agree with him)
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Lmao, "people start finding random weapons lying on rooftops"
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
I know it was a parody of Jack Thompson's delusional image of himself, but come on....I really can't help but feel anything but disgusted to see this man portrayed as the "hero" of anything, even in parody.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
But it's insane macho cliche satire man. I f you still feel disgusted by it then either you're taking the video way too seriously or your dislike of Jack has gone too deep.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Oh, stop with the conspiracies already. Maybe, just maybe, Jack Thompson has a sense of humor and saw it as it was. Not only a parody of himself but also the GTA4 obsessed fanbase. I think the only reason why he decided to share it with GP is that he knew the posters and readers here would get a kick out of it. Sure, Jack Thompson can be a jerk at times and a bit of a whackjob, but even whackjobs have a sense of humor. I know I do.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
I thought it was bloody hilarious myself. But it was mayhap a tad too subtle for JT to realize it was a parody of him.
Hunting the shadows of the troubled dreams.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
That was actually funny! Are we sure G4 did it? Jack has been known to have a sense of humor, when it suits his ego. That muscley body double was flattering enough, I imagine the satire was lost on him.

Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
given Sessler was there i guess yes
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
They had this on during their live coverage of E3. I thought it was pretty funny. Even posted a link in the shout boxes two days ago.....

Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Was there anything else in the email besides the video and the aforementioned subject line?
Also, are you sure that he wasn't being sarcastic. Does anyone know if he has mentioned the video in any other outlet?
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
With out the rest of the letter it's kind of hard to tell but coming from JT "Very funny, really..." Doesn't sound like an agreeable sentiment. I'd imagine he was pissed but GP didn't feel the rest of the inane ranting was worth posting as it probably equated to "you guys are a bunch of assholes" in much more drawn out speech.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
He would only realize that it's satire if G4 promised to give $10,000 to charity in the video and then not do it.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Why is Jack emailing here about that? Does he think GP had a hand in it?
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
I thought it was pretty well done, made me laugh a few times. Especially when I first saw the handsome-action-hero-archetype in that bad wig. And the tat, lol.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
I actually tried watching it, but in the end I could only suffer through half of it. Just like everything that comes from G4, it's nothing more than garbage.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
What I find most amusing is that he sent it to gamepolitics.com, like he was group of it. Someone needs to explain to him the meaning of satire.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
*proud of it. (Sorry, Kinda tired)
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
...Well. I mean I have doubts that Jack knows that they are making fun of him and his absurd claims. But Jack may be so far gone into lala land that to him that just very well may seem like a completely true to life biography.

LOL!! I love the peck flexing! HAHA!! That's a win.

.lol he makes for a good reading. Its either JT or reading about car bombs in my country, i choose JT
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Yet if they said anythign bad about him, he'd be suing already, or saying he would
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
That might be fun to watch for an hour and a half . . .
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
It was actually pretty funny. And by having him be the hero and be right, he can't hit them with a defemation of character law suits.
However, who expects a press release with something stating how "Major video game media outlets are now publicly declaring 'Jack Thompson was right'". Along with some choice quotes from it with out stating that it was 'satire' (see what I did there?).
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
HAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! Neat.

Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
@E. Zachary Knight
GP is obsessed with him. I don't mean dennis mccauley, he must be incredibly tired of him. However, his obligation to his work on this site requires extensive coverage of thompson just because of who he is and what he does. Most people are redirected over here because of thompson mainly, and GP tends to capitalize on that. There are many posts about Thompson that we could've done without....

Just go to www.g4tv.com and check out the Video section. You'll find it there.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
Jack seems to choose the oddest of times to flaunt his sense of humor.
Re: G4 Parodies, Pleases Jack Thompson; Spanks YouTube
If only he had a better sense of humor regarding video games huh?
