I'm sure most of you are familiar with the Jack Thompson situation and his "modest proposal" (I was going to post this in the previous thread, but it is buried and I figured this deserves its own thread). When confronted with Hellfish's mod for GTA, Thompson claimed that his offer was a "satire" and he did not donate the $10,000 that he had promised. Penny Arcade criticized him for not keeping his word, so they decided to make a $10,000 donation of their own to the ESA Foundation in Thompson's name. This apparently pissed Thompson off somethin' fierce, because he sent this fax to the Seattle PD and suggested that they arrest certain "personnel" for "criminal harassment."
I love that he refers to them as an "extortion factory" in his fax to the police. They criticize him for not donating $10,000 that he promised, and he considers that extortion? This guy is really showing his true colors.

(BTW how is he owned yet? He has the fax out on them. Answer other thread)
I read the thread about the National Institute on Media and the Family distancing themselves from Thompson, but I didn't realize the conversation had drifted to the PA situation. A mod can go ahead and lock this thread now.
