Posted January 19, 201015 yr Just read this and and all i can say is WTF? http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/12/03/2760837.htm Legislation to ban the open display of DVDs and videos with a rating classification of R18+ has passed the South Australian Parliament. Family First introduced a private member's bill to require that movies with that classification be covered and displayed in separate areas of shops including rental outlets. Promotion of films with the R18+ classification will also be banned. The bill does not apply to adults-only shops. http://games.on.net/article/7854/ Adults aged over 18 seeking to buy or borrow a copy of Mad Max, the acclaimed desert war drama Three Kings, starring George Clooney, the Brad Pitt classic Fight Club or the 2009 Blu Ray release of Sasha Baron Cohen's fashion parody Bruno will now find them in plain packaging displaying nothing more than the film's title. The rule will apply to titles for sale or rent unless those titles are quarantined from all other audiovisual materials, in an area signposted with a warning. Under changes to the state's classification act, which came into effect on Sunday, businesses will face fines of up to $5000 for displaying a "poster, pamphlet or other printed material" for films classified R18+. The new law applies to general outlets containing films with classifications lower than R18+, and not adult-only premises. I seriously hope this doesn't spread to other states.

January 19, 201015 yr As I said in the thread pertaining to internet filtering: Stop calling it Australia, it's now Ausreich. Someone please tell me what is on Fight Club or even Mad Max's covers that justify censoring? I have Fight Club on blu ray. It's got a stylized rendering of brad pitt's face on a silver background. Oh god the horror, the horror.

January 19, 201015 yr It may be that the covers are like candy for children and prompt them to HAZ THAT MOVIEZ
January 19, 201015 yr Also the ratings on some movies need to be updated to get with the times. There's bugger all that is in Three Kings that justifies an R18+ rating. Black Hawk Down is MA15+!

January 19, 201015 yr Also the ratings on some movies need to be updated to get with the times. There's bugger all that is in Three Kings that justifies an R18+ rating. Black Hawk Down is MA15+! there is at least 2 times in that movie where a guy gets blown apart by an RPG. A severed hand is picked up by a soldier, a guy gets shot in the neck... Band of Brothers is the same, The Bastogne part where they're hiding in foxholes in the forest whilst the German barrages rain down amongst them is quite gruesome with severed legs, arms etc. http://i.imgur.com/DtNdckc.png [WC]Xavo|xXx:

Band of Brothers is the same, The Bastogne part where they're hiding in foxholes in the forest whilst the German barrages rain down amongst them is quite gruesome with severed legs, arms etc. That's exactly what I mean. Both Black Hawk Down and BoB can cruise with a MA15+ rating. Because they were rated under recent systems. Three Kings was made in 1999 and has to bear a R18 rating, in which, is actually a really mild film. Come to think of it, I'd almost let Three Kings get away with a PG rating. http://users.on.net/hindes/bigdy/valour.gifhttp://img205.imageshack.us/img205/5224/operationcrownribbon02py7.jpg yeaaa booooy.
January 19, 201015 yr hell i watched 3 kings a month or so ago, probaly the worst bit would be when the wife gets shot, thats all i can think of any way... i mean hell if the SAW movies can get away with a MA15+ then just about EVERY war movie should be m15 MAX... cept SPR... that can probaly go MA15+ even R18 really. http://i.imgur.com/TLiDl.png
January 20, 201015 yr What i dont get is that people will end up thinking: hmmm' date=' look, I wonder why doesnt that film have a cover on it *looks closer*[/quote'] Theyll just stand out more Edited January 20, 201015 yr by Atheos H-K DON'T YOU CLUCK WITH ME, BUDDY! ---------------------- After that night I started peeing out the window to avoid going down the hallway when it was dark.

January 20, 201015 yr No wonder why the gaming community get treated like children, because the actions of a few idiots. A death threat is one of the most blatant displays of immaturity a human being can express. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
January 22, 201015 yr "I assume the Gamers4Croydon campaign will involve criminal activities and dirty tricks, which is what I've come to expect from gamers. "Regardless, I think they will struggle to get even 1 percent of the votes, and their campaign will actually discredit the public campaign in support for R18+ rather than enhance its chances. They [Gamers4Croydon] might do better leading up to the election, but at this stage they’re not doing anything. What's more, David Doe has to stop taking pleasure in people abusing me." That first part really ticks me off, only a very tiny margin of people are deserving of such a comment, to sterotype everyone as a gamer like that is just rubbish. talk about adding oil to the fire. http://games.on.net/article/7915/Atkinson_Gamers_4_Croydon_will_struggle_to_get_1_of_the_vote Edited January 22, 201015 yr by mojito22 http://i.imgur.com/ebwNl.png The Nomula: nom = 3(nom) or 3nom :. nom = nomnomnom :. nomnomnom + omnnom^2 - nom = omnnomnomnomomn _____________________2nom( 1/2 nom) Oh' date=' and i shottie having gunners mutant epic PR playing children[/quote']
January 22, 201015 yr Hmmm... It seems to me that Atkinson is australia's version of Jack Thompson :disgust:
January 22, 201015 yr meh That got a lot of Jews gassed. There is a damn good reason that the Yanks have the right to arm themselves. Internet filter, censorship, police stop and search laws, these are scary things and we should be worried. At least I can always jump ship. Hmmm... It seems to me that Atkinson is australia's version of Jack Thompson :disgust: In July 2008, Thompson was permanently disbarred by the Florida Supreme Court for inappropriate conduct, including making false statements to tribunals and disparaging and humiliating litigants. At least the Yanks know when it's time to shut someone up.

January 22, 201015 yr HuH..?... He said Meh, and you went straight to Jews and American gun laws ?.. http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee118/bahlye/bahlye007/mouse_zps73307fb2.gif
January 22, 201015 yr Yeah, indifference is a bad thing and has gotten millions in the past killed. It's not good to see something so obviously bad and say, meh. I've noticed that the "meh" is a very Australian thing. You guys don't care and as long as so many people keep saying "meh" this won't stop until long after it comes to a point where there is SFA anyone can do about people like Atkinson and the laws they push through.
