I'll tell your mom!

So I finished Assassin's Creed. It was a textbook Hollywood type predictable ending. It was a nice bit of fireworks but anyone who didn't see it coming has lived on a rock for the last 10 years.
And probably shares Jack Thompson's general IQ.

Even people who aren't very interested in video-games should find this amusing at least on basis of its general principle. To cut to the chase, Jack Thompson is a lawyer whose major goal is to ban all major violence in video games. Now you can say what you want about younger people being exposed to blood and gore, but at least use sensible arguments, and please for God's sake don't write to a video game producer's MOM about it!

But Jack Thompson, in his hilarious glory, decided that now was the time to pull out the big guns.
The result was an elaborate letter written by someone with the apparent mindset of the average kindergarden populace. I'd like to know what kind of drugs Mr. Thompson was taking, but on second thought it is probably best not to wonder too much.
