I just discovered something Jack Tretton said at E3 that made me lose some respect for him. Whilst I was reading Joystiq's E3 awards, I discovered that Jack Tretton made a distasteful joke about one of the most celebrated and beloved actors of the 20th Century, Jack Palance. I am a forgiving person, so Jack...please learn from your mistake.

Yeah that left a real disgusted reaction from the audience. You heard some light, nervous chuckles and some booing, but mostly silence.

Tag: Became a freaking mod and a complete douche, coincidentally, at the same time.

I didn't actually the end of it. It seemed that even he didn't feel comfortable saying it.

"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

If you mean Jack Tretton needs to grow up, then I would agree with you.

He's lucky Jack Palance didn't rise from the dead and kick his ass right there on the stage.
