News for the Week of April 20th, Unbelievably Late Edition.

There was a fair bit of news last week, and it's Wednesday already... Yeah. This is going to be a quick update, basically for the sake of posterity at this point.

That is why I bring you news for the week of April 20th, Jack Thompson's Worst Week Ever edition. Just so I can get him out of the way before this week's news. Plus, everyone likes seeing a massacre chaser take a beating, amirite?

• So there was that thing in Virginia last week, and someone let our favorite rabid bat on TV. Then Crecente from Kotaku put that segment under the magnifying glass and went to take a peek at the lies he was touting, of which there were plenty.

• Then the media machine he has so diligently milked for years begins to turn upon him. Mr. T was on MSNBC's Hardball and got taken to task about his statements that the VT shooting was video game related when the police found no evidence of video games being related to it at all.

• But then there was some good news... Still for us, I mean. Just so we're clear. Take Two and JT settled their suit basically barring JT from ever suing or threatening to sue Take Two; he will not communicate to Take Two or anyone doing business with them any accusation that Take Two committed any wrongdoing by selling its wares and he will make any future contact with Take Two through their lawyers. Now, he can still criticize the content of the games they make and act as a council (though I do not know who would use him as council now) in a lawsuit against Take Two. Good for him.

• Then Jackie starts to go a little bit crazy again. Gaming site Kotaku won't bend to his steely will, so he asks the... FBI... to look into them for him about threats made in their peanut gallery. On the internets. No, I am totally serious.

• I guess the FBI didn't have the guys at Kotaku up against the wall fast enough for Jack, so he went ahead and added their parent company, Gawker Media, to a suit he filed in March against the Florida Bar Association. It's interesting to note that he added the entire Florida Supreme Court to the same claim back on April 11th. These three entities are conspiring against his - wait for it... wait for it! Freedom of religion. His religion compels him to fight Take Two, Kotaku and the Florida Supreme Court! He will not stand idly by as multiculturalism invades to destroy his religion! No no, I'm not shitting you. Give it a read. (pdf link)
  

I suppose if misery loves company, Jack must be really damn miserable. Man just needs to simmer down and spend some time with his wife.
