Jack Thompson, the disbarred crusader against violent video games, has sued Facebook, alleging site users posted violent threats against him. In a Facebook group called "I Hate Jack Thompson", one post in particular was singled out and mentioned in the lawsuit. The posting stated, “Jack Thompson should be smacked across the face with an Atari 2600.”

According to the lawsuit, Thompson suffered emotional distress because of the postings and that the site content was not properly supervised. He is seeking $120 million in damages.
