Jack Thompson's Utah Bill

My view- Keep adult entertainment from kids on Deseret News is an Op Ed piece penned by none other than Jack Thompson, described as "a former practicing attorney" in an odd non-disclosure of his disbarment. Thompson outlines a bill to be introduced in Utah he helped author: "It doesn't define what content is 'harmful to minors,' so we avoid the phony First Amendment arguments Hollywood loves to make. The bill simply states: If you promise the public you don't sell adult-rated entertainment to kids, then you had better be telling the truth, because if a parent catches you selling this stuff to his or her kids, then you're guilty of fraud under the Truth in Advertising Law." GamePolitics has a follow-up on this, saying: "The Salt Lake Tribune has confirmed that a Republican state legislator will introduce a video game bill crafted by Jack Thompson."

The Truth in Advertising Law? In the United Fucking States? The one country in the world where you can claim the most outrageous bullshit in your advertisements, and nobody ever says a fucking thing about it?


You can claim whatever you want about your product, provided it qualifies as a dietary supplement. You can thank a Utahan for that mess too, Orrin Hatch, the Herb pushing Mormon quack Senator.
