Videogame crusader not giving up
Jack Thompson - the disbarred Florida attorney and anti-videogame activist who wrote a draconian "truth in advertising" bill that Gov. Jon Huntsman vetoed last month - isn't giving up yet.

GamePolitics reports that Thompson did two hours on the conservative Utah Eagle Forum's radio show on K-Talk, bashing Huntsman and tossing out some tired accusations tying a school shooting in Germany and the Columbine massacre to videogame violence.

Thompson was introduced as "an attorney from Florida." Nowhere, as both GamePolitics and the blog Joystiq point out, was it mentioned that Thompson is actually an ex-attorney. Truth in advertising only goes so far with the Eagle Forum, apparently.
