Dear Jon Stewart and fellow correspondents on The Daily Show:

As you may know, there is a debate going on in the video game world about Grand Theft Auto and the content that was locked out by Rockstar. There's two leaders of the front; Hillary Clinton, and Jack Thompson, a Miami lawyer who's been trying to get rid of video games for a while. Now, when I say 'video games', I mean that in a general sense, ranging from children's games, to extremes like Grand Theft Auto. The man wields an undying hatred for all that is video, and all that is game. Even the combination of the two makes him somewhat mad. Now, a lot of people in the gaming community have shot off well-constructed letters to him, in hopes of an intelligent debate with the man, only to get responses such as "go to a mental institution", "yeah but you werent on 60 minutes", and "nope". That last one was a response to this person, who was just trying to find out Mr. Thompson's motives behind his 'crusade'. Another person's dialogue with the man can be found here.

He's not the only one to be met with hostility from Jack. According to an article on Wikipedia (a public encyclopedia that is kept updated by people signed up there), he has also insulted others, stooping down to a lower maturity age than those that send the e-mails (a large portion of the community over at Penny-Arcade, which is one of the largest, is in the mid teens, and can type articulately). He has also recently staked a false claim that The Sims 2, which is by EA, has nudity in it, showing, in his words, "pubic hair, genitalia, and labias". Even the president of EA has stated "If you remove the blur that we put over the various scenes with nudity, you'll see they're as smooth as Barbie dolls". Another thing I want to mention, he was on 60 Minutes discussing his views on Grand Theft Auto, discussing how he wants to "Destroy video games", and even the man interviewing him (whose name escapes me at the time) thought he was a little, well, odd.

We feel he is being a bad influence on those not knowledgeable on the issues, and believe everything he says about the games. Our community has seen what you can do, Jon, and we worship you every day. We were there during You vs. Tucker Carlson, and you are a mighty man. Please, interview him, and let the world show how he is just baselessly attacking the wrong people. It would be much appreciated. Our current discussion of the topic is here. We also feel he's equatable to Lionel J. Hutz of Simpsons fame. Take that as you will.

Many thanks from all of us at PA Forums, and especially me.

you want to go 1 distance

first you need to go 1/2 the distance, but before you can do that, you need to go 1/4th the distance, but before that you have to go 1/8th the distance, etc.

I think that's Xeno's paradox. (Zeno? I dunno). But yeah, I find paradoxes such as that one interesting.
