GamePolitics.com is reporting that "Out of Harm's Way" author and attorney Jack Thompson--recently in the news for his tirades against Take-Two Interactive's "Bully" game--is hitting the road for a college tour. He'll be conducting a series of debates with Spin magazine founder and anti-censorship activist Bob Guccione Jr., but assures he will debate any willing volunteer opponents as well.

First stop on the tour, according to GamePolitics, will be Jan. 30 at California University of Pennsylvania. (Yes, that's right. It's in California, Penn.)

Pittsburgh-area "Halo" and "Grand Theft Auto" players, start honing your rhetoric.
