Jack Thompson Threatens Microsoft
Jack Thompson has issued an ultimatum to Bill Gates (http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/05/jack_thompson_d.html) over Halo 3. Obviously this is just another attempt by Jack to grab some headlines but threatening the richest man in the world could seriously blow up in his face.
Here's the deal, Mr. Gates: Either Microsoft undertakes dramatic, real steps, through its marketing, wholesale, and retail operations to assure that Halo 3 is not sold, via the Internet and in stores, directly to anyone under 17, or I shall proceed to make sure that Microsoft is held to that standard by appropriate legal means. I have done that before successfully as to Best Buy, and I shall do so again as to Microsoft and all retailers of Halo 3.
This guy is more of an attention whore than some of the ones we have on this board, good christ.
