To put it bluntly, I think this is a very bad idea. Sure, lots of people "hate" Jack Thompson. Everything I've read about him annoys me, but I've simply brushed it off; emailing him or reacting in any way towards him isn't going to help at all. Putting up a petition like this is serious, and if your only reason for it is because it was fun to make, then you really ought to rethink it.
As far as the content goes, if you actually are looking to be taken seriously then the site needs to look serious. Things like "Email Hitler...err...Jack" are way out of line and could be interprated as harassment. The "By the way..." lines, especially the second one, throw away any credability and would only serve to give Jack another arguement regarding the "bad influence of games". In the petition itself, having an "Is Jeff Cool?" field completely blows off any reason for it to be taken seriously at all. And if you're trying to make this big, lacking any citation or credits for news articles certainly isn't going to help. Simply put, calling out a petition against a public figure is not something that should be taken this lightly.
Bullies arent cool man.
Gamers Against Jack = OPEN!

I am not trying to bully anyone, and this is nothing personal at all. I am trying to make the point that this isn't the kind of thing that someone should do just for fun.Mr. Cool wrote: Lightern up dude.
