Jack Thompson Facing Disbarment Trial

Controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson faces the start of an ethics trial this morning which could see him disbarred. The Florida Bar is pursuing several complaints concerning Thompson’s professional conduct in court cases against the video game industry.

Jack Thompson is the best thing ever to happen to Penny Arcade, the ERSB, Gaming Journalism, and communist pedophiles who make snuff films. He makes such a spectacular punching bag that we need to keep him around. Be warned, the guy who ends up taking his place might have a clue. Nobody wants someone that crazy who is also a good litigator!

Suffer the Pucks for they displace the Torquemadas.

Revolver Trailer (Hyphenated Edit)

This is a cut-down version of the Revolver non-movie trailer which showcases the fantastic typography effects created by Burke Heffner. Heffner is a font of acute creativity which is only tempered by the grave dullness of his day job. Even though his means are minuscule, he continues to not work on the Revolver sans-movie, in hope of a day when widows and orphans will boldly pay not to see the movie he didn't make. As Heffner would put it, "isn't it time inner-city children and spinsters learned to drop a cap instead of pop a cap?" I swear the man is as holy as St. Textualis of Rectoversum! Yet his glyphic genius is proportional only to his otherwise oblique existence period.

I can say with ascending justification this trailer begs the question: why haven't we seen more movies which prefer typographic effects over special effects? When will Hollywood realize typesetters are the next trendsetters? The suits need to be quick like a brown fox and jump over the lazy dog of "traditional media" to capitalize on this kerning issue and stop leading us on.

One step in the right direction was the greenlight for the gothic thriller Cicero: Roman of Letters starring Omar Serif and Lorem Ipsum. Unfortunately, the diacritics tracking the movie's progress have printed several column inches panning it just so they could boost their descending subscriptions. Forgive me for greeking out, but I think these people should be found dead in a foundry with ligature marks around their tattoos of Pica-chu.

Anyway, you can find out more about Revolver at the Revolver website or maybe not. I can't be sure. I'm just a dingbat when it comes to things like this.

This photograph was entered as a court exhibit yesterday as a 62-year-old man pleaded guilty to sending phoney e-mails and letters accusing a cat charity owner - his former common-law wife - of needlessly killing kittens. The origin of this photo, which has circulated on the Internet, isn't known. The man also pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography. (supplied photo)

Not so Bright
Man admits to phoney e-mails, kid porn possession
By TONY BLAIS, COURT BUREAU
An Edmonton-area computer wizard has owned up to sending phoney e-mails and letters accusing a cat charity of abusing donations and needlessly killing kitties.

I fail to see how this could have happened to a "computer wizard."

God Punishes Atlanta

It has recently come to my attention that the Atlanta drought is entirely the fault of Gawker-dubbed worst person in the world John Fitzgerald Page. Way to go God!

Pocket books called Stalags were practically the only pornography available in the conservative Israeli society of the early 1960s. Though it was claimed that the Stalags were translated from English, they were actually created and written by Israelis.

Israel's Unexpected Spinoff From a Holocaust Trial
By ISABEL KERSHNER
Published: September 6, 2007
JERUSALEM, Sept. 5 — It was one of Israel’s dirty little secrets. In the early 1960s, as Israelis were being exposed for the first time to the shocking testimonies of Holocaust survivors at the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a series of pornographic pocket books called Stalags, based on Nazi themes, became best sellers throughout the land.
