Jack Thompson may be long gone (or at least long disbarred) but his spirit of fear and paranoia in the face of digital entertainment lives on. The heads of the International Christian Police Fellowship, the Christian Police Association, the Swiss Christian Police Association, and the Germany Christian Police Association recently wrote a letter to politicians and game producers saying that they object to the violent content shown in many video games. They particularly named The Darkness II, stating that it creates a distorted perspective of police officers for young players. This is peculiar as 2K Games has said that there are no police officers in the game. It’s also peculiar as each of these organizations has the word “Christian” in their title. ![]()
You too can be terrified of video games. All you have to do is read anything written by Jack Thompson. By Angelo M. D’Argenio |
