Bone to pick

I was recently invited to join the 'Grow up Australia - R18+ rating for computer games' group by a facebook 'friend' the other day and as soon as I read what the group was about thought that there was nothing more pointless I could lobby for.

In a nutshell the members of this page are hoping they can get an R18+ rating on video games so they can see mature themes in their video games such as a cartoon nipple, or maybe hear the word 'fuck' spoken by a character.
Due to our current cencorship laws these mature themed games are being modified so they can be suitable for a younger audience.

Some of the quotes from this group such as "ADULTS are being denied the freedom to play games" is so stupid it's funny and "Grow up Australia", another quote used on this page is basically the most ironic quote imagineable given the context it's used in.

If you want someone to grow up, let it be yourself so you can stop pointlessly crusading for something as trivial as a video game rating system to be changed, on such a pointless medium aswell.

I'm not even going to pretend to know the wheelings and dealings of this country's law makers, but I very much doubt that any of them would be scrolling through the pages of facebook in search of inspiration for a reform in cencorship laws.

THE END.

(I'd just like to point out that I love playing FIFA on X-BOX and I'm awesome at it.... Very awesome.)
