The latest Mass Effect scandal seems to have died down, and throughout the constant attacks from conservative bloggers and self-help authors, we haven’t heard a word from our old friend Jack Thompson about the explicit, orgasmic, realistic pornographic sex that doesn’t actually exist in Mass Effect. After all, if there’s one thing Jack Thompson loves, it’s going after the video game industry for personal gain while claiming it’s for the good of others. Seems a bit like he missed a prime opportunity, doesn’t it?

It appears that one of the writers over at Kotaku had the same thought, so he flat-out asked Mr. Thompson about it in a series of emails. The response is so ironic that I don’t know whether to laugh, get angry, or start singing about rain on my wedding day.

“Why would you be surprised. I don't see any problem with it. The guy who shot his mouth off about it had no idea what the Hell he was talking about. This contrived controversy is absolutely ridiculous.”

Looks like somebody’s a little cranky! Poor Jack, did you think we forgot about you with all of the other ignorant video game critics to despise? Don’t worry, you’re still Public Enemy Number One around these parts. I know you wouldn’t have it any other way.
