New Australian Laws To Censor Terror DVDs
An anonymous reader writes "Within a few weeks, Australia may introduce new laws to censor films and literature deemed by the government to be supportive of terrorism. This is not the first time material has been censored in Australia, which has previously censored films and banned publications, including one titled Defence of the Muslim Lands (censored in mid 2006 by Attorney-General Phillip Ruddock). The proposed laws are aimed to target material such as a DVD by Feiz Mohammad containing some of his past controversial sermons calling for jihad and comparing Jews with pigs. The Office of Film and Literature Classification previously classified this DVD as 'PG', suitable for viewing by anyone under 15 years of age with parental guidance."
You guys are getting worse than the US, mates. Who would have thought that was possible. Tell you what, bloke, when we're done with Bush we'll send him over to you. Prime Minister Bush. Hmm. That has a nice ring to it.
Well I hope it at least includes Gigli. Showing that movie to anyone is definitely a terrorist act.
Ripped Off! That war cost Aussies $3 Billion and now they won't let us watch the movie?
Here's an Idea: Why don't don't they get SONY to distribute the Terror videos?
Most 'customers' would find it doesn't work on their video player. When they try to watch it on their PC, they get a SONY RootKit.
Now imagine the look on Osamas face when he sees a 'Spyware Detected' Popup. I can't think of a faster way to flush a band of Mujahadeen out of their cave.
Well, yes, but just because it was a terrible movie.
Natalie Portman notwithstanding... I'd sure love to see her naked and petrified.
Dear Government:
Sales are slumping... Please ban my works!!
