Incidentally, did anyone recently see where Penny Arcade made
Jack Thompson look like a total ass?
Evidently he issued some challenge to game makers that he would
donate $10,000 to a charity if they would make an ultraviolent
videogame that involved killing the CEO of a game company.
A bunch of modders took him up on his challenge, and he weaseled
out, saying that he had just been joking.
So the guys at Penny Arcade donated $10,000 to some kids charity in
his name.
Don't have a link to the archive right now, but they did a good job
of making Thompson look like an ass.
And, of course, he then threatened to sue them.

As I think everyone has shown here, you should replace Joe's name with Jack's. Try to be un-baised, it will help.
That spoof of "Counterstrike - UN" is the best one IMHO :)
Someone should make a real FPS out of it. You run around in a war
zone as a UN soldier, and your most kick-ass weapon is a wagging
"tsk tsk" finger. Of course, when the fighting starts your primary
objective in each level is to escape as quickly as possible.
