Offended? Get off my internet!

Ok, so "ScanSafe" has released a "Global Threat Report" for March. They have concluded that the "blogospehre" (Ok Im fucking sick of buzz words like this. Stop, just fucking stop.)is in a terrible condition, and is going to cause the universe to collapse on itself, by which I of course mean endanger your school/business/home/office so much that it warrants you buying their product.

They say that about 6% of blogs contain malware/spyware/Trojans that only their product can save you from. Now I don't know about you people, but the last time i remember having a blog violently force a virus onto my pc without me noticing was never, let alone 6 in every hundred.... Then again, I say if you're moronic enough to believe this pungent, pungent bullshit, then i say you deserve to have your hard earned cash replaced with shoddy software. I hope the software doesn't work and ends up GIVING you a Trojan, that will put all your bank account details firmly in my possession.... but I suppose that's too much to hope for.

Their "Global Threat Report" also suggests that 80% of blogs are offensive... I believe the term they actually used was "bad words"... Is this company run by 6 year olds? If you are offended by "Bad words" go and tell Mummy, as a matter of fact, just go. Get the fuck off my internet. Just about any search you ever do will return at least one link to a porn site, so if you are offended easily you have no place on the internet.

Hey jack, look out, it's the facts

You may have seen my below post about how fucking stupid Jack Thompson is. Well now it's confirmed. But before I show you the damning evidence I would like to go on the record as saying, it's sickening that people are playing the blame game already and the media are swarming all over the families and survivors. These people should be given time to get this through their system. And another thing, on fox news the day of the shootings they titled Jack not as a lawyer, not as an activist, but as a School shooting expert... WHAT!?! The man is not an expert at anything, especially school shootings. On fox news jack thompson said he "garunteed" he would find "a murder simulator" in the shooters room(at the time nobody even knew who the shooter was). Now Jack, I know you hate letting the truth get in the way of your accusations, but unfortunately there were no video games (not even tetris) in the shooters room.

I now dub thee, Jack Thompson, attorney at lawl. (I have the authority to do that, because it's my blog)

Never fear, Jack Thompson is here

Jack Thompson, for those of you who do not know, is against everything. He is a florida attorney who can't keep his irritatingly stupid views out of the media. In the ninties he had Rap music firmly in his sights. Here is a direct quote from him, so you can form your own views of him. "I have sent my opponents pictures of Batman to remind them I'm playing the role of Batman." And, I kid you not, he wore a Batman wristwatch. Am I the only person who thinks it is a little odd for a 55 year old man to be wearing a batman watch? Anyway, after the ninties he gave up on trying to abolish rap, perhaps one of those "gangsta rap" type people threataned to shoot him in the face, but if this was the case it unfortunatly didn't happen. After the rap incident he decided to move onto an easier target, not mainstream at the time (arguably still not); gaming. One of his favorite pastimes seems to be reffering to games as "murder simulators". He also described the proliferation of games by Sony (which is a japanese company) as "Pearl Harbour 2", well jack, that's just fantastic, but I'm fairly sure you are exaggerating the scale of this "problem".

Now, onto his latest demonstration of idiocy. Mere hours after the recent Virginia Tech shootings he was on Fox news blaming video games. Gee jack, it's a good thing that you knew that, before anyone even knew the name of the guy you managed to work out that his motive was video games, you should be working for the police! Even if this person was a gamer, did you not think that possibly the violent games could be attracting the violent people, as opposed to creating them? 

Jack also seems to think that a 9 yeare old going into a store and buying a game like Grand Theft Auto is the fault the company that made the game... Of course! How did we not see this! It wasn't the parents fault! It wasn't the store attendants fault! It was the developers fault!

Also, Jack is fantastic at making, what seems like a realatively stable (though completely false) argument, completely worthless. For example, recently, in a radio interview, he went on about how he was against all things violent. Then, at the very end, he compared himself to David, in the story of David and Goliath, to which the interviewer replied with something like "Well, that's a very violent story, if they made a game out of that would you allow your children to play it?" Jack replied with the ever effective argument of "ohh, err, well, err". Lucky he was so quick to come back to that, he could have wound up making an idiot of himself.

And that whole episode got he thinking, well if people are against violent video games, then those people should be even MORE against the bible. The bible graphically describes all manner of torture and violence. And they will gladly sell a bible to a six year old, who will have been told that the bible is great and the best and all that. Which will result in him crucifying all his friends, believeing that they will all be back in a few days.
