Jack Thompson targetting Wendy’s fast food chain

Another famous franchise has drawn the ire of attorney Jack Thompson, as GamePolitics receives an email from Mr. Thompson announcing his intent to focus attention on Wendy’s CEO Kerri Anderson.

Going into further details on the matter, Mr. Thompson was targetting the fast food chain’s upcoming promo for Wii-related toys. As reported by GamePolitics, JT had deduced that since Wendy’s was promoting the Wii, it was also promoting the upcoming Manhunt 2 game. On that note, there doesn’t seem to be any Manhunt 2-related paraphernalia in Wendy’s toy promo.

Here reads part of the sent email, with JT making mention of Wendy’s late founder, Dave Thomas:

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 WendyÂ’s good name to promote NintendoÂ’s Wii, not with this game available on the Wii platform.

It will be remembered that JT has been attempting to block the sale of Take-Two’s game for some time now, whose first installment (Manhunt) JT linked to a murder incident in the UK a few years ago. JT and Take-Two have also previously figured in a lawsuit regarding Manhunt 2’s launch, which ended in a settlement.  As a point of clarification, this is just an email – there are no reports yet whether Mr. Thompson is indeed suing the fast-food chain. Keep posted in case more details are announced.
