Jack Thompson receives "Freedom Award" (whatever that is)

Jack Thompson was recently praised and given an award for supposedly being some sort of hero.

Others have rightfully questioned the reasoning behind the giving of this award to a man such as Jackhole.

Oh, and here is Jackhole's response to GP's editorial. Vintage Jack Thompson, that.

Also: gamepolitics.com's response to Jackhole's response.

And Jack's response to GP's response to Jack's response to GP's editorial. Okay, this is getting out of hand. You get the picture already. One would think that an American Hero such as Jack Thompson would have better things to do with his time, but I guess not.

Okay... just one more and that's it.

(EDIT) Sadly, as far as I can tell, it looks like all of Jack's comments to that article were deleted, whether by him or by gamepolitics I don't know. Or at least those links above no longer work, anyway, aside from the last one. (/EDIT)

At any rate, the thing that I find somewhat sad in all of this is that this supposed honor has now been rendered meaningless for the other three recipients as well as for anyone else who may have been presented with it in the past, at least as far as I'm concerned. I don't know... perhaps they actually deserved to receive such an award, but since it was also presented to Jack, and given that Jack certainly does not deserve such a thing, who can say for sure now whether or not these other people truly deserve it either? *shrug*
