Jack Thompson is NOT completely insane
See that? Well that right there is the face of a perfectly sane man according to one Dr. Wunderman. Jack Thompson, preempting the Florida bar's supposed demands that he undergo psychological examination, met with a psychologist on his own dime. I say supposed because that claim has never actually been validated by a representative of the Florida bar (with whom Thompson is currently embroiled in litigation) making it entirely possible that Thompson has simply fabricated the request in order to defer some of the extremely bad PR he seems so good at collecting. I imagine Thompson at a dinner party, the host of which has some mouthy gamer kid that begins to make allusions to Jack's potential mental imbalances, at which point Jack removes his Certificate O' Sanity and smiles smugly.
Dr. Wunderman's diagnosis is as follows:
The overall impression is that of a socially committed, and religiously devout man, of Superior Intellectual Functioning, who does not suffer from any major mental illness or impairment. He is deeply committed to personal betterment and social progress which he feels involves the regulation of exposure of minors to pornography, obscenity and violence.
If we are to take this as valid it simply means one thing, Jack Thompson is not crazy, he is just a complete fucking asshole with very limited insight. Most of you, I'm sure, already knew this. The proclamation of Jack Thompson being a man of "Superior Intellectual Functioning who does not suffer from any major mental illness or impairment" is fantastic! He no longer has any excuse for some of the completely insane rhetoric he spews. Not only that but he has no excuse for acting like a rabid circus chimp on TV, making disparaging public comments regarding his superiors, and firing off lawsuits at every person that tries to oppose him.
I take some umbrage with his classification as a person of "Superior Intellectual Functioning" and purported champion of social progress. I'll give him superior intellect at some point in his life, because law school isn't easy, but his immediate behavior indicates otherwise. Thompson being socially progressive is simply a joke.
I couldn't find any information on the soon to be infamous Dr. Wunderman so I can't call his diagnosis into question, but I'm ok with that. I'm much happier knowing Jack Thompson has no excuse for his behavior and is in complete control of his faculties; he knows what he's doing as he wages his epic (losing) battle as a media whore and all around asshole.
