Unlike The Incredible Hulk, Jack Thompson doesn't get mad and rip his shirt off, but instead he gets mad and sues people, such at the gaming blog Kotaku for readers having an opinion of them. You hear that readers? You can't have opinions! So just let your mind go blank and bask in the loveliness that is stupidity.

From the article:

Controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson has named Gawker Media, parent company of the popular game blog Kotaku, in a lawsuit before a federal court in Florida.

Thompson’s ire was apparently raised by Kotaku reader comments which the attorney maintains are threatening. He also alleges in the complaint that Kotaku and Gawker declined to remove the posts in question. Those messages were posted in response to Kotaku’s coverage of Thompson’s claims that video games prompted last week’s Virginia Tech massacre.

The Gawker suit is actually an amendment to an action Thompson filed on March 13th against the Florida bar. On April 11th he amended it to include the members of the Florida Supreme Court. And now Gawker joins the list of defendants.
