BUT it does help if the person Filing the complaint actually gets the names of the companies right ...
Jack Thompson sent this letter to the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) about a Bioshock TV as in Friday night's airing of WWE Smackdown.
Take-Two… is aggressively marketing its newest Mature-rated video game to kids under 17 years of age… On this Friday’s night’s 8 pm Eastern time airing of WWE’s wrestling program “Smackdown,” there were repeated ads for Take-Two/Rockstar Game’s Mature-rated, incredibly violent BioShock…
A check of the demographics of the audience of that program reveals that teens under 17 years of age watch that program in huge numbers…
Remarkably, the video game industry is running ads for games like BioShock on teen-intensive television programs while at the same time its industry-captured “watchdog,” the ESRB, is running a self-congratulatory ad campaign to assure parents that the video game ratings system is working and that the industry can be trusted not to target their kids with these Mature-rated games. It is all a lie, as the BioShock ads prove.
This rampant fraudulent trade practice is precisely what “Big Tobacco” did with its “Joe Camel” and other teen-targeting ads, while at the same time lying to Congress that it was not marketing its adult product to kids.
NOW , This is fine , BUT he needs to actually complain about the right company ...
He states the game is made by Take-Two and Rockstar
WHEN in fact it's made by 2k games and Irrational ...
Nothing to do with Rockstar and Take Two ... Looks like Jack is trying to jump on the "lets take a shot at Rockstar" bandwagon
