Like they're all saying: Rockstar, you hypocritical bastards.

That's what happens when you suffer long-term exposure to Jack Thompson. It infects you.

The Scots (originally Irish, but by now Scotch) were at this time inhabiting Ireland, having driven the Irish (Picts) out of Scotland; while the Picts (originally Scots) were now Irish (living in brackets) and vice versa. It is essential to keep these distinctions clearly in mind (and verce visa).
1066 and All That

In the world it is called Tolerance, but in hell it is called Despair, the sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.

To be fair, the Kotaku story doesn't say the entire level was removed.

But all the same, I find it incredible that Rockstar or their lawyers could even attempt this.

As unfair and hypocritical as the action was, in the long run rockstar sort of did the Simpsons game a favour. Let's face it, it was either going to be Rockstar or Jack Thompson who would object, the latter is a fate worse than death.

How do you figure?

R* was successful at getting EA to remove some content. Jack Thompson has never succeeded at anything. Tongue

I already know, I meant that even being bothered by the one-man-circus was worse than a successful case from rockstar. As much as a failure Jacko is, he's still annoying.

But good for a laugh.

This... on the other hand, it just boggles the mind.

<Blomman> who was it that got married here?
<Alexander> Oh, that was a drunken night in Vegas I'd rather forget...
<Alexander> I mean... Graham and Chris.
<Blomman> really?
<Alexander> Yes.
<Blomman> not that i'm against that kind of thing, but isn't that like, uh, illegal in some states?
<Alexander> I could explain, but I don't want to. Cheesy

* Alexander is trying to avoid becoming one-dimensional.
<Alexander> I've just had a terrible, frightening thought.
<Alexander> I've been fleshing out Mara's character, right?  Giving her depth?   In the meantime, what's happening to *me*?
<gkscotty> obviously she's siphoning off your "reality"
<Alexander> Dear God.
<Graham> She's a vampire!
<Graham> A lesbian vampire!
<gkscotty> pretty soon, it'll be Mara writing stories about Alex falling in love with Lisa.
