All R-Rated Films To Be Treated Like Porn In South Australia

#1

I thought this deserved it’s own thread so people can :rage:

My state just passed the stupidest censorship and nanny-state law in the history of laws

DIGG LINK, PLEASE DIGG IT!

:rage:

One thing I don’t get is the no-advertising. When new R18 films come out in SA, how will people who don’t use the Internet find out about them? The cinemas won’t even be able to have posters so you’ll only know they’re on if you happen to see the time listings =\

Also is it legal to disallow R18 movies to advertise. Surely the big studios will be pissed!

#2

I feel the :rage: with you.

#3

As I understand this is all because of one mans crusade is it not?
Michael Atkinson seems to be the name I hear as the moral tightass laws in Australia. Granted I don’t follow your politics closely, but it’s a name I hear.

#4

If so, someone needs to start blackmailing this guy.

And by someone I mean the entirety of Australia.

#5

He’s the guy who’s stopping the R18 classification for video games bill. Not sure if he’s linked to this though. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is.

#6

If there is a separate R-18 area, why can’t you advertise R-18 movies inside the R-18 area?

Or would that make too much sense for the world?

#7

Because the state govt is rated R…

for Retarded.

#8

I just watched Pulp Fiction. Its R. If I missed out on a similar movie because it couldn’t be advertised, I would be annoyed. Extremely extremely annoyed.

#9

I don’t know how Atkinson’s ancient, dried up, black little heart still manfully strives to keep him alive in the face of the searing hatred that is being broadcasted to him from his country and the world,every second of every day. Well done you miserable old fuck.

Congratulations you can copy ZP.
Anyways, I stopped being surprised at the stupidity of Australian Politicians a while ago. They are worse than ours, and america has some pretty stupid, though funny, politicians. (Blago and Craig were some good fun.)

Where’s Crocodile Dundee when you need him?

#12

INB4 AUSFAILIA

So they’re all just going to keep heading down this road? And I guess there’s nothing you can do to stop it.

#13

Find out where that Atkinson guy lives and organize a flashmob surrounding his house, demonstrating for his removal from office and the rebuttal of all the laws he put in order.

Or just set rape his family and set his property on fire. That wouldn’t transport the right message, however.

#14

I approve of this law, Aussies are barely even children intellectually and cannot make decisions for themselves.

#15

We need to protect them since they cannot defend themselves from all this riff raff.

#16

What if they saw a tit what would they do become lesbians probably

#17

“Maybe all lazy parents should move to South Australia, because everyone’s favourite state government seems to want to do all your parenting for you.”

Really? :frowning: Kid’s have proven extremely resourceful when they want to do something their not supposed to. We all know kids will just download torrents if they couldn’t buy them in stores or without their parents permission.

This reminds me of a show I watched on the 70’s. Parents lied\exaggerated the effects of drugs and look what happened.
