I can't wait for the March election. There's a lot of people who are getting sick of our current state government over a wide range of issues (including this), hopefully that'll translate to enough votes to kick these pricks out.

4th thread about this in the past week.

*walks out*
Oh no! Its the 4th thread, What ever shall we do!?!

Seriously, not everyone looks on the forums as much as you do, we may not have seen it.
I'm only saying this because I was the person who made the 3rd thread, and I was berated and bombarded with the screeching of users telling me I was making a repeat thread.

I've seen this same thread like four times now and people always fail to read the SOUTH Australia bit, South Australia is a smallish unimportant state out of 8 States & Territories, this is not Australia wide, The South Australian government is rather conservative, the Australian Government is middle wing.

With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word `intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be. You always dread the unfamiliar.

"Do you ever read any of the books you burn?"
He laughed. "That's against the law!"
"Oh. Of course."
How very appropriate. I wonder how long it will be...

Its only the state of South Australia, no one really likes it there anyway. It's fast becoming like Iowa or Utah of America (those states are filled and run by religious nutjobs arn't they?)
actually, Iowa is one of the few states that has Gay Marriage, so its not 100% whackjob. In fact, apparently just by that account, its more progressive than New York and California (imagine that). Utah, on the other hand, is like 80% mormon so they're pretty conservative.

OT, this is absolutely fucking retarded. I can't wait for american republicans to take over again, because they'll probably try to pull the same shit and the masses will eat it up.

So wait, now they just a beef with the PACKAGING? Dear God, this is the most retarded thing they have done. Not even infants could possibly be influenced by the packaging of a movie, because the packaging rarely shows violence at all.

I simply don't know how they could possibly have good reasoning to do this.

Wow Atkinson needs to chill, wonder what horrified him so much that he would try to erase R rated movie covers. He probably saw one movie and assumed everything else was the same. I think Australia's people need to lay the ban hammer on this douche bag.

Here is my question: is this new system really meant to cover up what we in America call R-rated movie covers... or is it meant to cover up what we in america call NC-17?

If the former, here are few more movies that are too obscene for australia:








if the latter, all you are really missing out on is:

Yeah, the current Australian government are going down the 'Stalin' route of information control.

Time for some good old fashioned revolution...

We get it, we get it, Mr Atkinson- you have a tiny penis and you want to compensate for it by rubbing your power in the face of all that is rational in this world. Fine, point made.
Now stop it. Seriously. It isn't funny anymore.

He just paints a bigger target on himself....why can't he just get with the rest of the modern world and stop trying to create his own version of the world?

Critics say the blank packaging will prevent viewers from making informed decisions about what they watch and also point out that the vagaries of Australia's rating system means that the packaging for Fight Club [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387564/], featuring a photograph of actors Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, will not.
