GamePolitics has learned from embattled Miami attorney Jack Thompson that he will appear on an upcoming episode of Penn & Teller: Bullshit. The irreverent, issue-oriented series airs on the Showtime cable network.
Although we have little additional information, it is believed that the program will focus on the video game violence issue and will likely air in the spring.
Andrew Eisen: Interesting read. Unfortunately, too vague to form an opinion on but at least now I know what faefrost was talking about in James' editorial.10/19/2014 - 10:39pm

Neo_DrKefka: Only good thing I seen come out of the Biddle incident was the fact a professional fighter offered to give 10k to an anti bullying charity for a round in the ring with Biddle.10/19/2014 - 7:49pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: Even after all the interviews she is still on twitter making fun of people with disabilities (Autism) yet she is a part of the crowd that is on the so called right side of history...10/19/2014 - 7:48pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: Which #GameGate supports are constantly being harassed and bullied. Brianna Wu who I told everyone she was trolling GamerGate weeks ago with her passive aggressive threats was looking for that crazy person in the crowd.10/19/2014 - 7:47pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: I believe the problem #GamerGate has with Sam Biddle is he is apart of this blogging group that in a way hates or detests its readers. Also being apart of the crowd that claims its on the right side of history isn't helping when he is advocating bullying10/19/2014 - 7:45pm

MechaTama31: Of course, I'm looking at these tweets in isolation, I don't know a thing about the guy.10/19/2014 - 7:06pm
|
MechaTama31: If anything, the sarcastic implication seems to be that the SJW crowd is bringing back the bullying of nerds. But it's the GGers who are out for his blood? I'm lost...10/19/2014 - 7:01pm
|
MechaTama31: I don't really get this Sam Biddle thing. The reaction to his tweets seems to be taking them at face value, but... they're tongue in cheek. Right?10/19/2014 - 7:00pm

Of course you're willing to submit to a hostile media setting.
You're an attention whore, and submitting is just what whores do, right?

Ever since you've appeared on G4 I haven't seen anyone complain that you won't go into hostile media settings Jack, although granted I tend to ignore posts about you (no offense).

Anonymous ? Okay then. My real name is Laurens Blei and I live no where near the United States.
I know more about you than you know about me. Granted, I don't no much more of you then what I see of you on the internet, but what I see is astoundingly childish in most regards.
But you don't matter really. Even thought you name is bigger in terms of noticability, I do know that what you do is pretty low.
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
"My real name is Laurens Blei"
You are so sued.
"I live no where near the United States."
Just because you don't live in the U.S. doesn't mean he isn't going to sue you.

Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
There's balls, and then there's roasting yourself on a spit for all to see. We're just going to enjoy ourselves as you get yourself destroyed on TV. So please, throw yourself at every hostile media setting you can. We'll see how fast you crumble into whining about how you were maligned later. My personal bet? 2 days after they air the episode.
Life begins and ends with Choice. Anything in your life that unlawfully or immorally steals Choice from you should be excised immediately, totally, and destroyed utterly.

Dennis, is this what you call adhering to your no personal attacks and no obscenity posting policy? Jack Thompson
Man Fuck jack thompson! As you can see I don't even respect his ass enough to use capital letters in his name! Somebody must've shoved an Atari joystick up his ass when he was a kid or something!
My role model is Samuel L. Motherfuckin Jackson!!

Hey, Jack, scroll up to where that comment is. You'll find that Dennis edited that comment.

JACK...
SHHH.. NO SHH.. QUIET A SECOND... SHH THATS It... SHHHhhhhhh...
JACK.. come on now jack... didnt you post a while ago that:
'The death penalty should be applied to all gamers'
so Jack... shh.. im speaking.. jack.. thats better... just think about that for a second. Look what you said. DO you think that is an acceptable way to adhere to the no personal attacks and no obscenity posting ?
yeah ...not very nice was it Jack? good boy jack.. thats right.. yes.. you apologise. Goooooood jack.
*see guys JT is fine you just got to talk soothingly to his ego, and not make any sudden movements or sounds that might startle him*
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
Don't push it Jack-ass. If Dennis adhered to this policy you wouldn't be able to post here either.
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
And why exactly are you using FreeProxyServer.net to access the site? Oh, that's right - YOU WERE B4NH4MMERED 50+ TIMES FOR BEING AN ELITIST ASS!!!
@GP:
I think Jacko's using a proxy to access the site; the "Reply" link he copied from Shell's comment links to the normal reply page, except through a proxy site called FreeProxyServers.net.
Methinks a certain soon-to-be ex-attorney is due up for some M4SS1VE DAM4GE. Your thoughts?
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
I believe he's been using a proxy to access the site since before the GP site redesign a few months ago, he just slipped up this time posting a link to it, so he'll probably be banned, AGAIN, and we'll get a brief reprieve from him till he finds a new proxy to post from
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
It's not a personal attack. It's a verbal attack. An insult.
People can insult others on the internet. It's not a threat. Gamers aren't standing outside your house with joysticks waiting to thrust them into you.

Aww, Brucey, are the mean internet people hurting your feelings?
You know, for someone who insults Dennis almost daily, you sure run crying to him a lot.
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
Heh, maybe dennis can ban him for real this time now that we know what proxy he's using (in reference to the link he copypasted into his message)
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
DANG! You beat me to it!
I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME, GADG...er, ANONYMOUS!
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
NICE! Epic Fail JT....EPIC FAIL!!!
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
oh by the way JT, you post things like this personally attacking gamers on a daily basis, so you have NO right to complain about people's comments towards you
Good luck finding a job, you're going to need it you filthy hypocrite
Jack Thompson To Get a Job?
YOu honestly think a company, hell even a retrailer store will allow someobdy that is known and was fired for harassing other people because of their viewpoints?
Re: Jack Thompson To Get a Job?
That was kinda my point

Yours is still pending.

Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
Agreed, I would rank him around an electron. Floating around in this world, and not even able to do anything unless groups with many other electrons, but still that is just static shock, nothing that really has an effect.
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
That ranking is still too high...I rank him below the festering, puss filled boil on my dog's rear end.
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
I'm more curious as to wether his segment has been shot yet, or if they haven't started shooting yet. Should an answer be provided, I'll go more in depth.
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
Since most of us don't have cable, may somebody post this on YouTube? Thank you!
I read about Penn and Teller on Wikipedia and hwo they do around debunking people. Oh my God Jack is going to get destoryed!

Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
I never watch the show anyway. I pretty much disagree with half of the comments made in the show.
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
How can you disagree with something you never watch?
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
This will be good, but too bad it's such a long wait.
Penn & Teller are pros and JT is a scrub. In a sportsmanlike fashion they would let JT allow his barrage of repetitive rhetoric. Then they would get serious and counter his points with proper arguments. A few high and low mix-ups later, JT is baffled at why the things he has repeated countless times haven't still gone through, and calls Penn & Teller "cheap and dishonest". He would feel like they weren't playing fairly and he storms off the room.
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
I hope this is for real and not a comedy sketch like the jace hall one was. Not that that wasn't funny, but I want to see Jack get obliterated.
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:

John Bruce has mentioned this before about a month or so ago. He was quite proud of it. I would love to see this.

Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
Penn used to do a column in the back of... was it PC Magazine? Don't remember, but it was pretty dang good. I used to love reading it. I've always been a fan of their magic, but due to a distinct lack of Showtime, I haven't seen that show.
I've hoping that Showtime has some sort of web streaming offer or something, like Hulu. I would love to see that episode.
I'm a bit heartend that it was done correctly by the fact that JT hasn't told everyone to be on the watch for his upcoming appearence. Likely he hasn't seen the finished product either, but he probably has a feeling of what is in store for him.
Re: Jack Thompson to Appear on Showtime's Penn & Teller:
Penn wrote articles for PC-Computing. They're up on the P&T website: http://www.pennandteller.com/03/coolstuff/pennarticles.html
