theacoustician said:How about controversal lawyers? If you didn't see, Penny Arcade trumped Jack Thompson, a man so vile, National Institute on Media and the Family disowned him. This is the primary right wing group that tells parents its all video games fault that their kids suck, not their shitty parenting skills.
Summary:
-Jack offers $10k (donated to charity) for someone to make a video game killing game designers and industry people.
-Several people make mods to games to fit his description.
-Jack resends his offer. Claims it was "satire".
-Gabe and Tycho call him a douche for going back on his word and donate $10k of their own in his name.
