smh.com.au reports that State Labor MP Paul Gibson, chairman of the Staysafe Committee, is taking action against the racing title "Project Gotham Racing 2" (due for release in 2 weeks), particularly since it contains a racing level which has Sydney as a track...
"This game sends the wrong message to young people. It is actually glorifying speed and power," Mr Gibson said. "It is clearly an inappropriate depiction of speed behaviour. If I had my way I would ban it...It's better to be safe than sorry.
Games like this and things like car-surfing in film clips and in movies are undoing a lot of the effort authorities are putting into road safety."
Paul Gibson intends to take the matter up with the Office of Film and Literature Classification.
Maybe one day all these evil racing games will be banned entirely in Australia! Then we can think about stopping all forms of racing on TV! Will someone please think of the children?! Read the article over at smh.com.au
Way to be a fucking moron! NO SANE PERSON would draw a parrallel between a fucking videogame and going hog wild on Sidney. Damn you Australian guys are weird...
