Atkinson Says You Don't Need to Impale People

Atkinson is right, we don't need to impale people. We just need to impale him instead. Maybe Jack Thompson as well since he is our version of Atkinson.

The government trusts us to be adults with films, but they only want us to be children with games."

Unfortunately, this is no longer true for South Australia. If you haven't seen the topic about the R rated movies in S.A... http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.168563?page=1
So, no R rated games in Australia, and S.A gets blank covers on the R rated movies. For no reason usually. Most covers aren't that bad, because otherwise they wouldn't be displayed in many shops. This is also because of Michael Atkinson. In all honesty, it's getting serious. It feels like he's stealing free speech and expression away. Next he'll probably try to abolish R rated movies altogether...

EDIT: Some more information.

Some excellent points.
While movies such as 2009 comedy The Hangover - which features on its cover a picture of three men holding a baby - will be affected by the new laws, MA15+ films with covers showing scantily-clad women - such as Lesbian Vampire Killers - won't be.

Likewise, MA15+ film Saw - which depicts a bloody, severed foot on its cover - can still be freely displayed, while 2005 hit Fight Club - which features a photograph of Brad Pitt and Edward Norton - can't be. Does this strike everyone else as retarded?
