In further news, J-Pop is the direct cause of global warming.
LOL. Yes, that is true if all the world's J-POP fans keep getting warm and fuzzy over cute Asian chicks who may or may not be able to sing.
As far as Thompson is concerned...is he doing some sort of racial profiling there, maybe? Or at the very least being extremely discriminatory.
Are Americans looking to assign blame to anyone or anything they don't like when this stuff happens?
Well, it's Jack Thompson, so you really shouldn't make generalizations off what he says.
But yes, being an ends and results based society, Americans love something or someone to ultimately place the blame on. But in Jack's case, I keep wondering how or why he's still working in any capacity, then I read the Wikipedia article on him and found this particularly amusing:
"Thompson charged that the group placed “homosexual-education tapes” in public schools. Switchboard responded by getting the Florida Supreme Court to order that he submit to a n[psychiatric examination."
That was way back in the day when Janet Reno was still a major player in politics. Now, the fact he went for a psych test doesn't surprise me, as it's a fairly common thing to do for people in various occupations, mental health and all that. But just considering the context of his other activities and claims at the time, and all those leading up until now, it says someone out there was well aware of Jack's inabilities as a lawyer (or particular abuse of the profession) way back when.
