Re: Your Son, Strauss Zelnick

Dear Mrs. Zelnick:

Your son, as you may know (or maybe you don' t know), is Chairman of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., whose most popular video games are the Grand Theft Auto murder simulator games banned in some countries but sold to children here.

Your son last week was reported to have said the following about Grand Theft Auto IV, due to be released Tuesday, April 29: " We' ve already received numerous [GTA IV] reviews, and to a one, they are perfect scores. My mom couldn' t write better reviews..." Taking your son' s thought, I would encourage you either to play this game or have an adroit video gamer play it for you. Some of the latter gamers are on death row, so try to find one out in the civilian population who hasn' t killed someone yet.

What you will see in your son' s game, if this iteration of GTA is anything like its predecessors, is incredible interactive violence aimed at police officers (whom you can shoot in the head and see the blood spray), innocent bystanders (whom you can run over with your car just for the heck of it), and of course the plentiful female prostitutes you can have sex with and then filet with a knife or stomp with your feet in order to get your money back. Experts note that the recent plethora of cop killings is caused in part by your darling son' s entrepreneurial energy. There are three policemen dead in Alabama because of Grand Theft Auto. I was on 60 Minutes about it. I hope Strauss has provided you with a flat screen tv to see the grief of the bereaved families that fills the screen.

The pornography and violence that your son trafficks in is the kind of stuff that most mothers would be ashamed to see their son putting into the hands of other mothers' children, but, hey, your son Strauss has recently assured the world that he is " a Boy Scout, everybody knows that." I' d love to see the merit badges that Scout Troop handed out. Is there a Ted Bundy merit badge? If so, your loving son deserves one now. It should be red and green, for obvious reasons.

With Passover having just come and gone, it is appropriate to note the following from the Old Testament, Proverbs 22:6:

" Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Mrs. Zelnick, did you train up your son, Strauss, to make millions of dollars by pushing Mature-rated video games to children? Any kid can go right to little Strauss' corporate web site and buy GTA IV with no age verification. Strauss is even marketing the new Grand Theft Auto IV on World Wrestling Entertainment tv shows seen by millions of kids. If you trained up Strauss to do this, then shame on you.

But maybe the explanation for your son' s corporate sociopathy is to be found in Old Testament Proverb 29:15:

" The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame."

Maybe you, Mrs. Zelnick, were so taken by your handsome son that you spared the rod and spoiled the child. That would explain why he has brought you, by the way he presently acts, " to shame."

There' s another mother you would do well to talk to. Mrs. Crump in Alabama had a son who was a police officer. He' s now dead because a teenaged boy unwittingly trained himself to kill him on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. She has a grief she carries every day that only a mother can know.There are other such mothers in the heartland of America whose inhabitants your son simply sees as commercial targets.

Your son, this very moment, is doing everything he possibly can to sell as many copies of GTA IV to teen boys in the United States, a country in which your son claims you raised him to be " a Boy Scout." More like the Hitler Youth, I would say. Happy Mother' s day, Mrs. Zelnick, which this year is May 11, two weeks after your son unleashes porn and violence upon other mothers' boys. I' m sure you' re very proud.

Sincerely,
Jack Thompson

Who the Fu.k does he think he is ? A more pressing question though , how the hell has nobody hurt him so far ?

Because by hurting him we' d prove him right... or at least that' s how it would be taken.

Low is not the word! What a fu.cking cu.nt!!![:' (]

Wow, using dirty tactics like this. The man deserves no respect whatsoever. And I thought this was going to be humorous, but it turned my morning into a sour one[:' (]

Why he thinks he can win a war on video game morality by being immoral himself is beyond me.

Let' s all pay for Mrs Zelnik to stomp him and filay him with a knife lol.

I thought that was pretty funny, I just can' t take the guy seriously at all.

PS Funny in the same way as the sick comics Rampage posted.

LOL!

He fails as an attorney, as a legislator, as a human being, and as a Christian! Proverbs isn' t a book of facts... It' s literally just that. I figured he' d at least get that right.

two weeks after your son unleashes porn and violence upon other mothers' boys

I wish somebody had unleashed porn and violence on me when I was a little kid.

Anybody noticed he spelled traffics as trafficks? Didn' t even bother to spell check his rubbish.

That' s libel, pure and simple. I hope Zelnick sues.

Now video game makers have one more thing to worry about. Not only will Thompson lobby against their games but he' ll also tell their mommy on them.

It' s very late and I' m a little tired. Let me just get this sraight, he wrote one of the developers mom, lol!? Jack GTFO!

I used to think he was an asshole but now I know he' s totally off his nuts.


I don' t pray, but if I had something to pray for it would be to have a Jack lookalike in GTA4. Some dumbass Jack knockoff with dialogue. That would be so beautiful. It would be criminal not to have some moron lawyer tie in.

Would anyone think less of me, if I called this twat a complete abomination to humanity?

The best part of this manical looking SoB ran down his Momma' s legs when he was born, did he not get enough attention when he was younger?

Why quote the bible, (sorry to anyone if I upset you with this next bit.) The bible is a collection of stories , until you can get concrete proof that the things actually happened, it is the biggest and most published work of fiction ever!!!!

Comparing a man to a serial killer like Bundy, the man is either A) On class A' s or B) of such low moral standing as to compare a person to an evil like Bundy just for doing a job.

I would definately say sue him for every penny he has, what he has written is libelous at best, but pure unadulterated evil at worse. The man is scum and I would love to meet him in person just to work out what makes him tick, because he is not of this planet.

Well your prayers have been answered . There is a mission where you have to assasinate a lawyer and as far as i know jack sent out a notice to Take-Two to remove that mission .. I am going to enjoy that mission .

so who' ll be teabagging on that mission?

to comment on what that letter said is beyond words (or at least beyond words I could probably get away with on my work laptop). The guy is so shameless and also idiotic - doesn' t he realise all this is just creatin more hype and free advertising for the game?

I' d be shocked if such character model was not in the game. The Scottish pretty much invented no holds barred.
