Game Politics remains the top source of news regarding our favorite anti-gaming scoundrel. This morning they report two amusing stories. The first is that Jack Thompson’s book, Out of Harm’s Way, has been, predictably, bookstormed on Amazon.com, as various members in the gaming community have proceeded to helpfully provide tags, customer images and reviews for the tome. This, of course, has prompted Jack Thompson to threaten Amazon with legal action (summaries here and here). It also has, purportedly, a review from Amazon.com written by Jack himself(supposedly – there is no way to verify as of yet), which of course Amazon removed since you’re not supposed to review your own books (perhaps Amazon also didn’t like being described as a ‘neanderthal blog’ as well).

Meanwhile, in a ‘you can’t quit, you’re fired’ moment, the judge on the case that Thompson attempted to withdraw from a couple of weeks ago has rejected Thompson’s request, solely so the judge would have the privilege of removing Thompson himself. A side effect of this action is that the judge has forwarded the matter to the Alabama Bar for ‘appropriate action’. Judge Moore commented “Mr. Thompson’s actions before this Court suggest that he is unable to conduct himself in a manner befitting practice in this state.”

Again, if like me, you can’t get enough of these theatrics, add the Game Politics blog to your Bloglines feed.
