Never has "rofl" been more appropriate.

Canny self-promotion or general craziness? You decide!

(Er, not by Rockstar before any idiots think I'm suggesting as such)

Finally, someone Jack Thompson can point to and say "Look, I'm not that crazy".

I think I'm going to sue you all just for the fun of it.

Surely filing lawsuits costs money, no?

I mean, if it is free ... courts will be overwhelmed with so much nonsense as these.

You know I have no sympathy for this guy whatsoever: he committed a crimem was caught and now he's quite rightly paying for it. I hope someone does beat him up... daily... and steal his cross; prison is supposed to be a bad place to be isn't it not a five-star hotel! LOL

I can think of a lot of games I'd sue if i had the time.

Guitar Hero and Singstar, for reminding me that I'll never be a musician in anything but the gaming world. Its soul crushing.

Final Fantasy 7, for allowing my mother to save over my game with her own when I was 30 hours in and she'd just started.

and Robocop on the C64 for having an intollerably catchy theme that I still have in my head to this day.

:-/ I know the feeling when you load up that train scene at the beginning again after having gotten a *lot* further. Not good.

Why stop there though? Why not rape him in the process?? Or even worst???

I usually enjoy your comments Darren, but hope you aren't serious here. Prison, surely, should not be a 5-star hotel, but should reform people and prevent being a crime playground for inmates...

Obviously its free to file these lawsuits...
Some of the ones he's filed (infact most) are hilarious.
He's picked on most high paid sport stars the Tiger woods one is a classic.

@JonFE - Of course I'm being serious. If someone goes through hell in prison then it'll hopefully make them think twice about reoffending. If it isn't then what's to stop this person doing the same again once he's freed? I'm not convinced that everyone can be reformed myself anyway and that they should be punished harshly by being in prison. I get the impression that prisons are not horrible enough places to be in these days, thanks to inferring do gooders with their Human Rights crap!

This guy is frickin hilarious:
Apart from suing governments for quadrillions of dollars check these ones out against sportstars:
Riches dunked over Michael Jordan in high school.
Jordan had someone bust his kneecap. (He doesn’t specify whether it was he or Jordan who was in hs at the time).
The defendants picked on Riches in high school, committing acts like tying Riches’ shoes together, putting bubblegum on his bicycle seat, and stealing his lunch money to buy performance enhancing drugs.
Defendants took fruit away from the prison commissary?!

@ Darren
Too right, my grandaddy always said the best treatment for schizophrenic episodes is a course of repeated bullying and gang rape sustained over several years in a metal dungeon, he'll think twice about dabbling with mental illness after that, boy howdy.

Or they put in sneaky ones who might wish to manufacture a move to the ones where they put the nut-cases.

Edit: Sorry..not nut-cases...psychiatricly challenged.

Think I might sue this guy.
He made hot coffee come out my nose in a mildly career-threating manner this morning... (had to explain that I was reading Eurogamer and not working :/ ).

Ironically, he would probably win the case if he sued them for witholding his right to sue people

While i think everyone should sue vick, the scumbag, this guy is wasting court time

more importantly, darren has a point, prison should be an awful experience

clearly something is wrong with the prison model, when so many people re-offend

if prison was like OZ, no one would ever commit a crime

god damn, i'm still terrified of jail after watching it

This guy is awsome! He's just entertaining himself, and using the mess of shit system that allows everone to blame someone else for their problems and sue them for it.

Yoo can doo eeeet JL!

Strangely enough I think Ubisoft already have! I think I saw him walking around the streets in Assassin's Creed, pushing altair randomly as he walks past XD

Surely this person should be declared a vexatious litigator and banned from initiating a lawsuit until cleared by a psych board.
