EA to Jack Thompson: “Fuck Off!”

Jack Thompson offered his assistance in EA Take Two takeover case, unfortunately for little jack, his retarded day dreams would have to take a backseat as EA have politely told him to “Fuck off”. EA’s official response to Thompson’s proposition:

“We have received your letter to EA’s shareholder site. In response to your offer to assist in the proposed acquisition of Take-Two, we would strongly prefer that you not get involved in this matter. EA is a strong supporter of creative freedom for game developers. We feel that your past statements - including false claims about content in our games - make any collaboration with you impossible.”

And we all thought EA was evil!
