The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 29 July, 2005
So the story continues now on an international scale. Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is being pulled from shelves in Australia as ordered due to the game being stripped of its MA15+ rating. Of course this is linked to the "hot coffee" modification which unlocks sexual content hidden in the game. The mod was not created nor distributed by Rockstar Games or parent company Take-Two ...

I live in central vic and the council have just allowed a criminal to open a brothel, that kids walk past blah blah blah bit of a fuss but would this not be more improtant than a damn video game.
If they r so worried about the sexual content then they need to clean up the streets first before taking over peoples private lives, its ridiculous

Hey, I gotta get me this game now. If they didn't say anything, I wouldn't have known anything about it! LOL!
And, oh, if it aint in the stores, I wonder where I might be able to get it *ponders for about a millisecond* I know *ding, light bulb shines above head* off the Internet via BitTorrent or something.
Nah! The Aussie censors have a VERY VERY strange idea of what to ban and what not to ban!

Well what do expect from a government hell bent on blowing up innocent people, allowing TV networks to advertise violent shows during children viewing time then kick up a stink because some goose shows his willie on Big Brother.
The Howard motto: Make war not love.
The same can be applied to the US

Speaking as a liberal minded individual from the US, I support the attacks on the game. Just as the violence and low mwntality in the game attacks the fabric of social civility in our culture, attacks on the game are justified.
I didn't support the invasion of Iraq, and I don't support the current cell of nasty extremist leadership that our national "51%" has installed in our whitehouse. They suck.
I support an ecclectic moderate middle ground based on guided by individual freedoms, not guided by corporate freedoms.
Respectfully,
John P

Well why dont we compare the GRAPHICS in the game(s), to what we actually watch in the evenings on TV at say 7 in the evening onwards, ok so then why not ban TV all together, cause it shows a more REALISTIC version of the graphic that govs are making a big fuss over!
Its actually rather pathetic!!

I find it ludicrous that this game is being pulled.
Are parents now going to remove their children from the filthy propaganda being broadcast on local as well as national television? This kind of material is far more dangerous.
No, let's instead pick up on a computer game - it's much easier to morally digest..

This ban is ludicrous. although i am a U.S. citizen, i think that it is rediculous that they ban the game in australia. I am 30 years old and i love GTA:SA. I allow my 8 year old son play the game with the audio turned off due to the harsh language. In my opinion no Parent should be allowed to buy any game for a child unless they have actually played the game before hand. I have played the game prior to allowing my son to do so. I know what is in the game and i know that it is an adult based game. more and more games are being made for adults to be playing and not children. parents should realize this, so bans like this dont happen. It disappoints me that parents are so uninvolved with thier children that an entire country has to suffer.

Censorship is always going to bring about different opinions.
I believe people have the right to choose, view, read, act, think and say what they like. What one does in the privacy of their home is thier buisness as long as their actions do not harm anyone. No one has the right to to impose their beliefs on everyone else. Governments do enough of that already.
Granny and all parents have the right to decide if the game is or is not suitable for thier younger family members. Prior to her mouthing off to the world only a few people knew about the hidden sequences. Now the whole world knows. The authors of the game would have quietly removed that part of the game if it's existence was going to affect sales.
Oh well the lucky ones who already have the game will make a nice profit auctioning the game on ebay.
There is no sense in censorship.

Funny you say that....It's almost like they are inviting you to break the law...If you can't get the game off the shelf, even though you are willing to pay for it, the next best thing is to DL it, correct??
