Jack Thompson Denies Hating on Buzz!

After complaints about the previous photo, I have touched JT up just a tad.
Jack Thompson, in his typical flair, has denied having anything bad to say about Buzz! The Schools Quiz.
The US diva, I mean attorney, was quoted in British newspapers as saying:
Video games have hurt far more people than they have helped. I don’t see how they can be of any more benefit than normal teaching.
As I suggested, this was a pretty moronic and unsupported statement, where the self-funded Buzz! quiz was only a teaching addition for schools, not a replacement for traditional methods.
JT has now got in touch with The Daily Mail’s editor via an angry email, where he says:
I was NEVER contacted by anyone at your paper about this story, and I never said or wrote the below. I don’t think such a thing and thus would not have uttered it anywhere, anytime.
Fair enough, but being the diva he is, he likes to end his interlocutions with scorn:
Your writer lied about this, and he/she ought to be sacked for this utter fabrication.
Why not take them to court Mr. Jack? Then again, you don’t seem to fair too well there. DIVA!

I did make his eyes a tiny bit blue-er in this picture. But show your friends the crudeness of my photoshop skills!
