Yes, the Flordia lawyer we all know and love has offically lost his mind. He has tried to get the COO of Bolt Media arrested because a site that Gaming Revolution owns hosted an AIM buddy icon that depicts Tompson being blown up.
<blockquote>
Ladies and gentlemen, Jack Thompson is currently trying to have my boss, Lou Kerner, arrested by the NYPD for one of these terrifying death threats.
You see, this AIM buddy icon was posted over at BadassBuddy, a Bolt.com affiliate site. Jack decided this was a death threat and freaked out. That's correct - an AIM buddy icon. Jack is apparently terrified of buddies.
So scared, in fact, that he immediately called the New York offices of Bolt and demanded to talk to our legal counsel. Instead, Lou Kerner, the president of Bolt, was kind enough to return Jack's call personally later that day. Lou told Jack it was no big deal and that he would contact BadassBuddy and ask them to remove the icon. Which he did, and later, they did.
But not before Jack sent the following letter to both Bolt and the FBI. The FBI. I hear they have a special buddy icon task force now.
</blockquote>
After they removed the icon, he sent a letter to the NYPD claiming that since they removed the icon, it means they admit guilt and should be arrested right away. It's people like Jack Thompson that give lawyers a bad name.
