this isnt the first bit of sad censorship to come out of Australia.

they are down there below Germany's ban of lots of music and games, and Iran's ultra conservativeness.

Jesus Christ, what do you expect from a group of immature middle school students over a M-rated game? Yes, it is disrespectful to be rude, but these are just extreme measures! If this tried to happen in America, everyone would state the 1st amendment.

It could pass in America because vulgarity isn't protected under the 1st amendment

See, this is why Australia's economy is pretty much the strongest of everyone in the world. They come up with laws that are actually HELPFUL and MEANINGFUL. I feel proud for them. AUSSIES!
