Computer Dissecting Jack's Lies

Major gaming blog Kotaku dissected a segment on Fox news last night that interviewed crazy gaming lawyer Jack Thompson. They linked to Snopes in regards to the claim that Eric Harris created a Columbine level for Doom to train for the shooting.

Sometimes I think Thomsson writes random words and phrases on cards, throws them up in the air, and reads them out as his statement in whatever order they landed. I mainly read sources that are savvy enough to discount his bull, but do the mainstream media still buy his dog and pony show?

Well Fox gave him air time, didn't they?

But I like your theory. It would explain, for one thing, the insane statement that he made that I now use for my quote. Seriously, it doesn't make any more sense in context than outside of it.

I was hoping some "fan" would notice her.
