Haha, hadn't heard of Sexy Poker before. The Australian government just doesn't make sense to me. I know you will use this against me but look at America, sure there are a couple well known cases of videogames (allegedly) causing people to go nuts and shoot up the block, but videogames are so prevalent that that is such a small percentage and the same thing could happen with movies or music. And it's not like we are lenient on M games, hell 2 weeks ago when I bought Fable 2 I was carded to see if I was over 17 and I'm 20 and look even older. Lynk, you should move to America in protest. |

That's your solution to everything... "move to America" lol. I'm not sure that in the end the governments efforts will have any real effect. They're TRYING to block a lot of things, but so far they haven't succeded at all. It's just really stupid that they're spending all of this effort on censorship that just does not work at all. They think they can control the Internet and what Australians can view. The problem is that there's a million and one ways to get around any filter they could implement for anyone who really wants to get around them. Such a waste of money and resources. |

Welcome home, Jack Thompson! I knew the beatification in Australia was bad, but I wasn't aware that it was to that degree. A question, though: Is this restricted to games or are they trying to block everything sex related? Like, groovy you dig?  Quote of the year: "Obama has just nationalized General Motors.

Ah, the UK model. "restrict people until they give in". Works pretty well.
About a maid I'll sing a song, who didn't have her family long. Not only did she do them wrong, she did every one of them in. |

I thought the UK model is "Blame all knife related crimes on video games"?... or is it both?

Heh, I caught a bit of Today Tonight a few hours ago and they had this story about morals and all that and how they've evolved over the 20th century into the 21st century... this "expert" they had on that they were interviewing was saying how "Australian viewers are treated as adults who are able to choose what they view" yada, yada... and I facepalmed.
