Modern Warfare 2 Australia, banned?

[Pat]

Yes its unfortunately being highly considered that the MA15+ rating on the game is not high enough and might be banned. I am outraged at the government once again! Australia has more banned games then dictatorships!

?The consequences of terrorism are just abhorrent in our community and yet here we are with a product that?s meant to be passed off as a leisure time activity, actually promoting what most world leaders speak out publicly against.?

Seriously the biggest bullshit I've ever heard. Also the internet in Australia may be censored as some of you might have heard, blocking out pornography and anything that might be dangerous for young children to view. Its times like this I wish I didn't live in Australia, if parents don't want their children playing violent games or looking at porn why don't you just not buy the games for them and keep them off the internet? Why make us all suffer for your lazy parenting? !@#$ you Australia!

[JoEL]

Not just pornography, but any site that isn't considered appropriate or contains illegal content like torrent sites. Even programs like Emule that have p2p sharing will be blocked. I don't know about the rest of you Australians, but I'm going to stock up my porn supply.

The government chooses what we do now, Australia is turning into china.

[Scotty]

Don't worry, I'll play enough of this for the both of ya!

[ARTgames]

Scotty if you dont think america censors then think agen.

@Pat
I dont know your laws there but from what i remember it's not illegal to own. So im guessing you could still buy it online.

The Australian government wasn't elected so that they could decide what the population can do for leisure activities. I feel for you Australians.

[Turkey]

O jeez, that sucks for you guys. Plus you don't get Left4Dead 2. :(
Which these are the 2 games I'm looking forward to, so yay for not living in Australia

[tehrozzy]

Hehhehhehhehe. Sounds like I'm gonna be one of the only people able to play Modern Warfare 2 in Australia... I already have >: D

[Torch]

Also, Modern Warfare 2 doesn't "promote terrorism" at all. You play as the goddamn British SAS, FIGHTING terrorism; something that most world leaders are themselves promoting.

[Pat]

Yes we can still buy the game from overseas but then there wouldn't be many Aussie players and I'd be stuck with high latency games :/

Tell your government that if they don't stop the shit within the week...you will decapitate 100 kangaroos every day till they are extinct.

Tell your government that if they don't stop the shit within the week...you will fire cross bolts at 100 kangaroos every day till they are extinct.

Fixed. Australians will get what I mean.

I don't get it.

Killing an Australian icon won't do anything.

We both were joking, it was obvious.

[JoEL]

Yeah I realised it was a joke.

Haven't ever heard of that before....but then alot of people kill kangaroos, it's no new development.
