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

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.

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

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

QuoteJack 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.

Video games have ruined my life, I'm only 29 years old!

Ugh, why do people always hate what they don't understand?  btw, joe, you suck.
