Jack Thompson was already disbarred in Florida back in September of 2008.
10 months after Florida, that disbarment from the practice of law might
just go federal. Judge Federico Moreno of the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Florida has issued a court order to
Thompson, directing him to explain why his Florida disbarment should
not be extended to the federal level. |

It's still far from the end of the road for Jack Thompson: apparently, the Florida lawyer walked out of his recent disciplinary hearing after filing his own formal objections to the sanctions hearing. The result? An enhanced disbarment recommendation that may result in barring Thompson from practicing law for ten years. More details in the full article. |

It would seem that THQ is in an experimental mood. Perhaps due to the trouble it has received at the hands of a wrestling company, the video game publisher has decided to switch to cheerleaders instead. Yes, you heard us right. THQ has announced what is supposed to be the first-ever cheerleading video game: All Star Cheer Squad. Look for more "cheery" news after the jump. |

In light of the tragic ride-by killing of 11-year-old Rhys Jones, U.K. Conservative David Cameron cited and spoke out against various cultural influences - one of which is violent videogames - to be responsible for such abhorrent behavior among today's youth. The part of his rather lengthy speech about videogames, verbatim: What has become of our society when we have this spate of children killing children? It means understanding and acting on that age-old maxim that it takes a village to raise a child. It means retailers stopping the sale of alcohol to young teenagers. It means music companies, media companies, games manufacturers, not just thinking, ‘What is my social responsibility as a company in terms of the projects I support and the charities I back, good and important as they are’, but asking, ‘What is the effect of the music I produce, the games I market and the programmes I broadcast?’ The rest of the article after the jump! |
