In 1999, Thompson represented the parents of Bryce Kilduff, an 11-year old boy who committed suicide, hanging himself allegedly to imitate Kenny, a character from the Comedy Central series South Park, which Bryce, according to his parents, had never watched. Thompson called for Comedy Central to stop marketing the show and toys based on the series to children. "You see, the whole show--thrust of the show is it's--it's cool for kids to act like the characters in South Park."
I guess no one told Jack Thompson that South Park is a social commentary criticizing people like Jack Thompson.
