Me and Jack BFF?
Yesterday I wrote a story here at MEGATONik that got an interesting response from someone claiming to be Jack Thompson. Wanting to believe that the man, the myth, the legend was actually commenting on my insignificant blog post, I went into the wordpress tracking system and got an email and an IP address from the guy who commented.
Being the web 2.0 kind of guy that I am, I went to some of my fellow podcasting/blogging buddies who have had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Thompson and asked them if the two bits of info I gleamed were actually him. Both of my friends gave me a resounding yes, which made my head spin. Immediately I starting thinking of what I could talk to the genius lawyer of Florida about. I decided I’d love do do a Stephen Colbert style interview where I give my subject free range to answer questions while at the same time lobbing them satirical questions like “why does Take 2 Interactive want our children to be trained killers?”
This would have worked out perfectly except for the one hurdle facing me, my Xbox Live Gamertag that I use for my email name “Excremento.” Unfortunately this one hurdle messed up all of my plans but still provided me with plenty to write about. To see the story in its entirety, hit the jump below.
