Graffiti Game Banned in Australia

Posted by samzenpus on from the think-of-the-children dept.

afaik_ianal writes "The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that 'Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure' has been banned in Australia. The game involves battling the authorities to overthrow corrupt officials using only street fighting skills and graffiti. From the article, "The decision was endorsed last night by the Federal Attorney-General, Philip Ruddock, who had asked the board to review of the game's MA15+ classification after local councils and state governments voiced concerns that the game would promote graffiti.""

    I know it must be, as every second story on Slashdot is about Australia these days.

    You gotta start practicing at an early age to get any good...
    And anyway, I always thought spraying some nice paint on a condemned crackhouse was a lot more productive than stealing cars, uziing authorities, and raping prostitutes... but that's just me :)
