Jack Thompson says Video Games caused 9/11

January 10th, 2008

Recently Jack Thompson has decided to take a shot at the movies… but is till causing havic in the video game world while doing it. How you may be asking? Well it’s because of Spencer Halpin’s upcoming hullabaloo documentary film. And in the simple words of the source Jack Thomspon says the following in the movie:

“‘videogames caused 9/11!’”

As a New Yorker and a gamer and am I bit doubting on that fact but that’s just me. Besides the fact the movie is mostly about how flight simulators we’re used to train terrorist and mostly talk about video game violence but as we all know Jack Thompson will probably be the highlight of the movie considering the rep he has.

    I’m surprised it took him this long to go for it,yet I’m still amazed at the stupidity of it all,just because they used flight simulators he just goes and takes the whole industry down with it.

    Just news people won’t really care about in the end.  "They" say stuff like this all the time, only to be forgotten in the next hour.
