Jack Thompson Decides to Target Wendy's

Basically the summary is this: Manhunt 2 will be released for Wii.
Wendy's has a promotional tie-in with Wii toys. Therefore, Wendy's
is promoting "murder simulators.

Thompson's Points listed:

a.) Manhunt 2 is a "murder simulator"
b.) Manhunt 2 will appear on the Wii (among other systems)
c.) Wendy's is promoting the Wii, therefore;
d.) Wendy's is promoting Manhunt 2, which promotes murder

Thompson also claims to have the inside track on what deceased
Wendy's founder Dave Thomas would have wanted in this regard:

A dear friend of mine worked for Wendy's and with
Dave Thomas closely for years. From that I know that Dave
Thomas never would have tolerated the use of Wendy?s good name to
promote Nintendo's Wii, not with this game available on the Wii
platform.

So, Thompson has made it clear that he is not only against Manhunt
2, but totally against Nintendo's Wii for making the game available
on the platform.

Just to be clear, Thompson has neither sued nor has he threatened
to sue Wendy?s. He has, however, been making noises of late
about an international movement to block the publication of Manhunt
2.
