Hahahaha. Read some of the comments on the Amazon.com page of his book. They're quite comical.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Well, he could possibly lose sales due to the fact that he's being negatively reviewed (it seems to be false, from the way it was worded). Thats causing him to directly lose money, and if I were him, I'd sue too.

He has proof that Amazon supports it, because a positve review was removed while the negative reviews weren't removed.

EDIT -
Changed a were to weren't.

You might be right about that, Joe.

I doubt Amazon supports it.  I don't think that Amazon would delete something that would result in them getting increased sales.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

I meant to say that the negative reviews were not removed, not that they were =p

Jack Thompson eats giants for breakfast. Just ask media giant and shock-jock Howard Stern, who ranted on air about the "one lunatic lawyer" who got him kicked off the air. Jack, an outraged father and activist lawyer, is on a mission to protect children from the violent and obscene video games, music lyrics, shock jock radio shows, and television programs he says are creating a culture of violence and degradation. Going beyond outrage, Thompson chronicles his own spiritual journey from bystander to activist and offers the sociological, medical, scientific, and legal evidence that will motivate all Americans--especially parents--to get involved.

Basically, another ignorant man who thinks all video gamers will turn into the new Ed Gein.
