Third Bar Complaint Against Thompson

Game Politics is reporting that Blank Rome, a Philadelphia law firm which represents Take Two and Rockstar, has filed a complaint with the Florida Bar Association against outspoken anti-game activist and general nutjob Jack Thompson. This makes the third complaint against Thompson currently under investigation, the other two involving the Alabama Bar where Thompson had (note the past tense) a temporary license to practice law, and a previous issue regarding his attempts to get Howard Stern pulled off the air and thrown in jail for obscenity.

Thompson's response to the Blank Rome complaint read: "My lawyer and I just received word from The Florida Bar that Blank Rome has just filed a Bar complaint against me. Ah, how stupid can one bunch of porn lawyers get?"

Violent video games, in Thompson's mind, constitute "porn." Just in case you were wondering.
