South Australian Attorney General Michael Atkinson is helping Australian parents be [b]better[/b] parents. That’s right, the Attorney General is opposed to a R18+ rating for video games, especially ones that involve “depraved sex and extreme violence”.
In a discussion about this heated topic, Mr Atkinson was quoted as saying “I understand the Wii console has been phenomenally successful for Nintendo and that system provides many games to challenge and develop skill, physically and intellectually, without depraved sex, gore and cruelty” which makes total sense to Impulse Gamer as the console is definitely targeted at children and the casual gamer.
Countries such as Finland and Iceland have the world’s lowest murder rates, yet somehow these games are available for these mature minded adults. Of course when Atkinson is talking about depraved sex and extremely violence, let’s hope he uses his power to ban the Rugby League and the AFL. Especially the under 18’s games as well!
Mr. Atkinson was further heard saying “Access to electronic games, once in the home, cannot be policed and therefore the games are easily accessible to children,” which is definitely true and another example of why Australia has bad parents. When children walk into Harvey Norman with their simpleton parents and take GTA IV off the shelves for the Christmas, obviously it is okay for their kids because it’s rated MA15+. Of course movies are a different story and children cannot get their hands on these… right?
With that in mind, it’s fine to run over people in the streets and use a variety of weapons on innocent civilians but when it comes to the walking dead such as [b]Left 4 Dead 2[/b], Atkinson’s parenting comes into play because the game is more fantasy than GTA IV and less realistic. Obviously in the seat of Croydon South Australia, it is run by Zombies and that’s why he keeps winning his seat.
Gamers of Croydon unite and vote out this Zombie!
And if you’re looking to play uncut video games, check out eBay or the United Kingdom because that’s the place you can purchase these games without Zombie Atkinson from hiding the truth!
