Law of the Game's Mark Methenitis to Debate Jack Thompson
Law of the Game's Mark Methenitis to Debate Jack Thompson
April 2, 2009
What are the odds of having two Jack Thompson debate stories in a single day?
That's how today, played out, though.
Just after GamePolitics posted about tonight's Thompson-Gerard Jones debate, Law of the Game blogger - and practicing attorney - Mark Methenitis e-mailed to say that he will be debating Thompson at SGC 09 on July 4th. Mark believes that he is the first attorney to debate Thompson on video game issues.
The Screw Attack website adds that there will be more just the Thompson-Methenitis ten-rounder:
In addition to the debate, Thompson will also participate in a special pre-screened question and answer panel where attendees will have the opportunity to pick the brain of one of gaming’s most notorious critics.

Heh heh... Jack... Brain...
Funny stuff, man.
Bet Jack'll cancel this if he loses tonight's debate. As long as no idiots try to pull anything today, that may be the case.
The proper response to "I'm not going to tell you" is, "Well, will you tell the audience then? They're the ones deciding if you're full of **** or not, so you ought to throw them a bone."

pre-screened by whom?
BTW, Dennis, it's not "Screw Attack" it's "ScrewAttack" (no space).
I'm still waiting to see if Soulja Bitch will accept the challenge by the ScrewAttack guys at SGC.
When Jack Thompson runs his mouth, does anyone really care what he has to say anymore?
I wonder how screwattack pulled this one off.

Didn't Thompson already debate attorney Sheila Tuma on video game issues? And lose?
Picking walnuts from their shell should be good practice for picking Jack Thompson's brain.
I see what you did there.
Saying that Jack Thompson is impotent is an insult to impotent men everywhere. They've got a whole assortment of drugs that can cure their condition; Jack, however...
He'll back out of it for whaever reason...
No matter how many debates this guy is in, he has already lost the real debate in court.
Hopefully they won't call him a "Lawyer" and give him the proper title of Disbarred lawyer, or disgraced lawyer, or hell, just plain Jack Thomson, that name is an insult on it's own.
We all know how he backed out of the PAX appearance as wel...

I still remembered how he backed out of the debate with Tom Buscaglia, citing what he interpreted as some insulting remarks he made.
