This guy really just doesn't know when to stop. After his unsuccessful attempts withBully and in shutting down Rockstar, he's at GTA yet again. This time, he's expressing his vow to rally against the release and sale of the series' fourth title.

Thompson also said that he would "undertake various means to prohibit" the sale of GTA IV, and further adding the following statement:

"Please have your lawyers Microsoft chairman Bill Gates' contact me in order that such sales will be prevented. The ICCR report makes it abundantly clear that unless such prohibitions are in place, then millions of units of the new Grand Theft Auto game will be sold directly to minors. I am quite intent upon making sure that that does not happen. I and others will endeavor to stop Microsoft from participating in any fashion, directly or indirectly, in such sales to minors".

Well, that's that. Now, depending on where you are on the optimism-pessimism spectrum, it's safe to say that at least GTA IV will be making headlines and having much exposure in the days and weeks to come. And you know what they say about these things, negative publicity (with Thompson talking, at least) is still publicity.

Taxi for Mr Thompson please!! Or a gag, either is fine, just shut him up please!! He's acting like Sony did with Liksang - dog with a bone - won't let go.....he won't spoil GTA IV though - just typing that gave me goosebumps

Ahhhh, first thing I seen in title was GTA IV
Then the Jack Thompson bit


Ahhhh well, he obviously doesn't realise, the more he talks about GTA and everything, the more people hear about it (Bully for example, I never heard about it until there was fuss over it being banned at some stores and stuff )
SO yup, carry on J.T, bring R* more publicity

I'm gonna put a nice big cuppa shut the F*** up in the post for him. Well actually you are right the more he makes a stink the bigger the sales for Rockstar.

Now GTA IV you say?!?!?! That's something to look forward to
