On Wednesday, September 12, 2007 Andrew wrote : President Bush made a controversial appointment earlier today that will probably fly under the radar for most political junkies. Jack Thompson, the noted video game anti-violence advocate from Florida, could replace current ESRB head Patricia Vance as early as October if congressional hearings approving the president’s nomination go smoothly. ~~Full Story: MicroTechXP~~ Link was removed by admin edited on Sep. 15, 2007 07:01 pm by batistablr

WHERE YOU TALK ABOUT THINGS! Crazy Concept eh? As for Jack Thompson, we should "Thompson" his ass before he gets to head ESRB. Ive seen Bush do some stupid stuff, but even a monkey wouldn't appoint a Biased Lawyer to be Head. I cant wait till the next election, and inauguration.

You all realize that this is a joke right? Since when does President Bush have any say over what the ESRB does? And even if he did, he wouldn't "appoint" Jack Thomson.
