Jack Thompson must be the biggest attention whore in the whole world. It seems like a week can't go by without Thompson having to get his name out there in one way or another. Now it turns out he is getting his son in on the family business and trying to bring down the gaming industry. On a related story, young Thompson was beaten up the next day at school.

But not just any video game. It was, according to the game-hatin’ attorney, BioShock, the M-rated hit published by longtime Thompson target Take Two Interactive.

Thompson the Younger, by the way, is a mere lad of 15. From today’s Thompson press release:

The Best Buy retail clerk who sold this “Mature” game to Thompson’s 15-year-old son is Alysia. She asked Thompson’s son for his ID. He said he had none. She said, “I don’t really care.” She has a piercing through her right eyebrow, and she can be easily identified by Thompson and by store officials. She should be fired immediately. So should the store manager whose very same store sold Grand Theft Auto: Vice City to Thompson’s son when he was 10 years old (!) in a sting that he and his father arranged, just like this one.
