Games are for pedophiles! - Mar 01, 2007 00:48
Why? because Marvel Comic' s Mark Millers says so!


NRAMA: Finally, before we let you go, what is interesting you/what are you working on outside the realm of comic book publishing?

MM: Like all my pals, the TV and movie people have come calling and even the computer game people (which is weird because games are for pedos and I have no interest).


See the last question.

Hmmm and Mark Miller is who exactly, I guess the great Stan Lee is a pedo as well then as he is a self confessed online gaming addict, this guy is just an ignorant muppet who obviously believes his own hype.

I got one that might piss you off even more.

" In an open letter to the CEO of Take-Two, Thompson warns the publisher that he will “be filing shortly a lawsuit to prohibit, by injunction, the sale of Grand Theft Auto IV.”

“There is absolutely no chance that GTA IV will be rated anything other than " Mature," advises Thompson. “So good luck in having your Blank Rome lawyers trying to persuade a court of law that it should be sold to minors, especially in light of the United States Federal Trade Commission' s findings that 42% of the time underage kids can buy " Mature-rated" games.”"

But isn' t the rating of GTA IV M anyway? Why can' t they send that dick to Iraq and get him to start talking his self opinionate crap to the Iraqis.

Yep, and the thing is, game publishers aim for a certain rating but they don' t rate the games themselves, ESRB does. Jack is just...a moron. He' s a fucking Christian extremist, the worst kind of scum.

Heh, I' m estimating about 25% of us are alright, the rest of us are socially illiterate sheeple having hissy fits about which rich idiot is going to lead us next. Really, it' s nothing short of amazing. We' re the people who mistaken Australia for Korea, Iran, France, and Iraq., and think that our biggest threat is Italy.

He puts Christians and Americans in a terrible terrible light.

I saw that video quite a while ago, and even now when I see it I am amazed and disgusted at the same time. I can tell you one thing that makes americans like that less dangerous than many fundamentalists in the middle east and africa. The americans are generally lazy, and complacent, while they may support a government going to war, they will only do so as long as it doesn' t effect them, or when the media tells them not to. Fundamentalists however, as crazy as many of them are, will go to great lengths to see their beliefs enforced upon others, and aren' t as easily dis-swayed. All said, neither set of people is any good for the world, and it goes to show what a lack of education, respect, and open mindedness can do to people.

As for people that rag on video games, they are terrible. They do nothing to solve the things they see as problems. They pin blame, demand things, get very self righteous, and generally act like a bunch of angry children.

IMO it' s not up to game makers to make sure their product is sold to the appropriate age group, at least not yet. They have them rated, distribute them with the knowledge it should only be sold to people of a certain age, and distribute them in stores where clerks should be instructed to ask for ID.

You need ID for liquor, porn, cigarette' s and guns(I' m assuming, I' ve never been to a gun shop). Why not the same for games. I wouldn' t see it as much of a hassle, as I' m not buying games daily, or even weekly. The thing is, if we did ID for games, then advocacy groups would have to shut up(I doubt they would), and their case would seem even more ridiculous than it is already.

I know people that would totally b**** you out for saying that.


I' m not one of them. I' m very patriotic, but in the idealistic sense. I like to think that I stand for what America should be.

Yah, I didn' t sugar coat it very much, and I should have pointed out that I am referring to those americans in particular, of which there are many.

There are stupid people the world over, I know many Canadians that think Canada is the best, but when I ask them why, they really don' t give me a whole lot of good answers. Being ethnocentric is never good IMO, as there is rarely one right answer, or way of doing things.

One of the simplest comparisons I like to use when comparing the US to the Canada, the UK, and Australia(I don' t know as much about Australia as I would like to) is our homegrown comedy. In Britain and Canada, a lot of our comedy is very self deprecating, and the comedians like to make fun of themselves as much as anyone else. Many american comedians however, like to make fun of others, and point out flaws in others, and laugh at them for it. Many sitcoms and comedies reflect that in each country. This is a gross generalization, but it does hold some truth. All this said, I know a lot of good americans, and I hate how the whole world likes to judge them nowadays.

Flame me if you like, I don' t mind. We all have our own opinions, and this is mine.

I wish communism worked. In a perfect world it would. Sadly, people are far from perfect.

Any government would work with intelligent, honest, generous people who have a heart, but all the opposite attributes are what get people to the top.

It' s really TOO bad that the CEO of Take-Two is a professional. I' d give ANYTHING for him/her to reply to Jack Thompson' s letter with a two word reply letter that reads: " BITE ME."

I think by " pedos" he meant " kids" , not sexual deviants.


" Games are for kids" is a commonly used idiotic insult, but
" games are for pedophiles" doesn' t make sense in anybody' s reality....

He' s trying to say that he considers the stuff he writes as inappropriate for children, so he' s puzzled as to why the videogame industry would contact him.

Whatever. He' s a jack-ass anyway. After reading this interview it' s plain to see the guy thinks just a LITTLE too much of himself and his work.
