I am a part time nerd, part time chef and full time whiner. Did I type whiner? I meant winner...no wait, I whine a lot. I've worked in High Tech and Television and a few places in between. I've eaten fire roasted snakes and hand fulls of peeps (not in the same sitting of course). I'd like to share my experiences, so read on.

People who abuse the law

I have a special hatred for people who force personal agenda's on the public because they are in a certain legal position. This includes lawyers and lawmakers who have a view on something and assume they should make it law. For the past half a year Jack Thompson has been fighting against the Video Game industry saying the age old proverb "Violent Games=Violent Children". My personal view on this has always been "Shitty Parents=Shitty Kids". Every person I know who plays violent games, has never commited a crime and rarely smashes a spider in the bathroom. That's not the point. Recently, GTA and Sim's 2 came under fire as being too extreme because of hacks. Jack Thompson took it upon himself to fight the good fight against games because the public is too stupid to know when to fight... As a joke he said he would donate 10K to a charity if someone could make a game where you could kill lesbians and kids workign in video game stores. Someone did, and he said his claim was satire and just complained more...Penny-Arcade has launched a comic assult on him for being an ass and he fired back saying it's harrassment. A lot of this can be summed up by this shirt. When Jack turned on his promise, Penny-Arcade donated 10K to the charity for him and he returned the favor by faxing the local authorities that PA was harrassing him.

Lets sum it up:
1) Jerk Sues Video Game Industry
2) Video Game Industry makes a funny shirt about him
3) He gets mad and claims he'll give $10K to charity if someone does something
4) Video game industry does it
5) Jack resends his offer
6) Video game insdustry donates 10K to charity

How can he be more of an asshole? Anyone?
