lordshipmayhemFor those who are not, a quick intro:
Jack Thompson is many things.
1) He's a Florida lawyer
2) He's a crusader against violence in video games (He's the idiot who sued to try to stop the release of HALO 3. And the latest Grand Theft Auto.)
3) He's fighting against an attempt by the Florida Bar Association to disbar him ... and the Florida Bar Association is trying to disbar him because...
4) He's a froot loop. Big believer in a Unified Conspiracy Theory.
Case in point: He's suing to stop the disbarment proceedings. In his evidence, for reasons known only to him, JT added several gay male pornographic pictures.
That little stunt moved said evidence from sites requiring credit card access to PACER, the official U.S. Government court records site... so now any four-year-old can without access to Mommy's credit card view naked men enjoying each other in ways not approved of by the Religious Right, who JT claims membership with. How this keeps porn off the internet escapes me, but then I'm not bat-shit crazy yet. Neither is the judge in this case, nor is he impressed to find his courtroom used for the unrestricted distribution of pornographic images. To quote the mightily PO'd Judge Jordan:
That shattering sound you just heard was Mr. Thompson's legal career impacting the ground.
As one of the comments underneath this article put it, "Never thought I’d see the words ‘Judge’, ‘Spank’, ‘Jack Thompson’ and ‘Gay Porn’ in the same sentence…." (comment by GoodRobotUs)
And to top it all off, Mr. Thompson thinks it's the JUDGE who is in trouble, not him.
The difference between fiction and reality: Fiction has to be plausible, reality does not.
Enjoy!!

For this reason, by October 5, 2007, Mr. Thompson shall show cause why this incident should not be referred to the court’s Ad Hoc Committee on Attorney Admissions, Peer Review, and Attorney Grievance for appropriate action.
