  Is Jack Thompson crazy?
For those of you that don't know, Jack Thompson is a lawyer. He represents people who try to sue the makers of video games. (Read: Rockstar Games)

Scott Ramsoomair is a webcomic maker. He writes comics, usually about video games, which are always very silly. Recently, he wrote a comic about that Rockstar sex scene kerfuffle. In it, he makes fun of Mr. Thompson, claiming that Thompson stands to gain from said kerfuffle--a claim that sounds pretty reasonable to me, since he's presumably going to get paid by these families that hire him.

Now about a week ago, Ramsoomair received an email from Thompson. The chronicles of it, and the replies can be found here. As Matt from Mac Hall, every journalist in America should read this page. I ask you, dear reader, to go check it out and decide for yourself: is this man crazy?
