Jack Thompson is an Asshole

He then compares the game to, of all things, polio. “Grand Theft Auto IV is the gravest assault upon children in this country since polio. We now have vaccines for that virus… The ‘vaccine’ that must be administered by the United States government to deal with this virtual virus of violence and sexual depravity is criminal prosecutions of those who have conspired to do this. If you doubt me, look at the aforementioned streaming audio/video. It will make you sick.”This is where the story takes a turn, because Jack Thompson provides a link to a video, put together by the gaming news site IGN, called “Ladies of Liberty City.” Be careful clicking on that link; there is absolutely nothing there that is safe for work.

GTA IV sex video gives Thompson, other critics fresh ammo

Polio. Really? If only polio was as fun as GTA IV. By the way, I grabbed a copy. Katy, Mark and I got pretty drunk at Mission Bar last night (Mission Bar is right next door to the Gamespot) waiting for the line to go down, played for about an hour and then passed out.

Here’s the video:

Annie’s new haircut

Ok, so after 5 hours fucking around with differently looks (my back is creaky and my mood sour) I have finally settled on the first design I found. I like it. It looks more like a magazine, less like a blog.

I don’t really have anything important to say. Here’s Annie’s new haircut:

I will have somethings to say (I promise) about Bar Tartine and health insurance and the city of San Francisco but right now i need to get out from behind this computer. Thanks to Sarah for the audio plug-in. And to Oliver for everything.

And, apparently the fucking song’s not working either. Fuck it. I’m playing Burnout.
