Jack Thompson, who I mentioned in an earlier post, has apparently rescinded his offer of $10,000 for a video game fitting his described scenario. Apparently, he was only kidding, and was attempting to use satire to make a point. I can appreciate the use of sarcasm and satire to make a point, but being that he is a lawyer, he should understand the gravity of such statements. After all, others have been forced to pony up an automobile to an individual who brought in a billboard that stated "bring this coupon in for a free car". And then there was the lawsuit brought against Pepsi regarding it's Pepsi Points commercial purporting that one could get a harrier jet with enough points. One must be very careful what one says.
