Jack Thompson Is Anti-game And Anti-gay

Home : News : Bully : News Story



We all know by now that Bully doesn't discriminate when it comes to who you can kiss in the game, be it boys or girls. Thompson is so backwards-thinking he has filed a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission.


Thompson was recently defeated in the Bully case, with the judge also lodging a complaint to the Florida Bar Association over Jack's conduct during the proceedings. The judge claimed Thompson was "unprofessional and contemptible". This is not so surprising to anyone who has seen the courtroom videos. At one point, four police officers were summoned, with Jack holding up a sign and being told to sit down by the judge.

Just like EA's immensely popular game strategy series The Sims, Jack Thompson has now complained about Bully for allowing boys to kiss other boys in the game. Does anyone else get the feeling this guy just has too much spare time on his hands? The ESRB knew about the gay content of the game when they awarded it a Teen rating, so it's nothing new.

The news has sparked some rather humerous fan art (pictured above) depicting a character from Bully kissing a lawyer. Below is a video of one of the few gay kisses that you can find in Bully.
