Nope, I seriously never heard of him. I guess i don't follow gaming news very much, as i don't play anything current gen (cept modded psp) so i don't keep track of the current happenings. and nothing about him has ever shown up (that i know of) in my jurist newsletter, which is a newsletter that follows legal happening around the world.

so i take it his claim to fame is being against violent video games? well there is always one in every crowd and i am sure somone else will take his place. Kinda like tipper gore and gangsta rap, or john Mccain calling the UFC human cock fighting and trying to get it banned a few years back. there will always be some cocksmoker tryin to ruin everyone elses fun.

[Ack]

Actually then I'm doubly surprised you've never heard of him, as he was part of the movement in the early 90s to ban gangsta rap. It's what he was doing before he got involved in the video game debate. Then there was the senate hearings of '93 and the school shootings that the media began going on and on about in the late '90s...

as stupid as the guy is, I find it more sad how many people on the internet bothered to spread his bullshit thus making him well known (well to most of us :P)

[Ack]

Actually, he was actively supported by a presidential candidate for a while, managed to make his way onto a couple of major news networks, inserted himself into various legal battles around the country, and therefore into state and local news...it wasn't just about viral marketing. Trust me.
