Censorship Law COVER-UP in Australia (Game Banning D-bag Michael Atkinson is at it again)

[Blunty3000]

Turning off comments. Tired of *FACEPALM*ing so hard as comments get dumber and dumber on this old, and now outdated video.

[MrZoider]

You have most interest in gore when you are 10-13

[NecromancerWolf]

Hey blunty nice vid but remember here in the states freaks like Hillary Clinton went on a whole freaking CRUSADE against video games o.e

[Olennex]

Attorney-General Michael Atkinson = Stupid gaping disease ridden ass hole. Blunty3000, I salute you

[NeronGlow]

hey I saw your video which says much about Australia's policy. in it that I also kænder to it I was in such a group of politician. but where there is one difference is that when we had to choose was the majority rule. and I'm tired

that it is a politician who elect people to positions of the censorship and inport of movies and games. I was 16 to 17 when I sat in censorship council in Denmark

[Neekstar27]

Does now, I think.

[Laidleypunk12]

Have I liked this yet? No wait ... thats better :D this man deserves a fucking T.V. show!

[Tangomelon22]

Fucking terrible.

[TrangOu1]

a massive bag of smashed assholes...that's fucking funny XD

[LividLobotomist]

I want your shirt........bro.

[TheMauso88]

Michael Atkinson tries to ban/censor mature video games etc. Yet, Blunty has obviously been able to by the massive can of energy drink legally, which is full of sugar, caffeine and all sorts of chemicals that can make you anxious, irritable and cause insomnia. Why are there no politicians raging against energy drinks?

[MattTheSpratt]

@TheMauso88 BECASE THINK TE CHIDREN

[blacktigerchick]

NNY! Awesome shirt!

[SandvichDAT]

Is postal 2 only banned in SA?

[LckeStudios]

@Blunty3000 Nice reply, bro. (ski)

[King4Gaming]

hey you like like tony stark from iron man! :)

[hippymonkmon]

@Blunty3000 Me thinks he's a slowbro.

[drohoe1]

Yeah Michael Atkinson is a wanker!prolly never played a game in his life.He prolly retired bec of all the hate hes gotten for banning 18+ games in Aus..Nice vid Dude!

[Miralage]

See, this is what happens when we have a fucking douche in office. One fucking douche.

glad I live in QLD. It's only half as much of a nanny state as SA. I thought/ democracy meant that you could vote on shit?

[slimeswordking727]

one day michael atkinson will wake up in my torture chambers

[TRUTHringsTRUE]

I'm an American and I agree that this Atkins guy is a douce! In fact he is such a douce are we sure he is really an Aussie or is he an American political puppet turned Aussie?

[xcgillx2]

Your description of him is far too kind

[MrHORRORfreak48]

I AGREE im aussie myself fuck michael atkison

[shiyboy4]

Attorney General Michael Atkinson should get the kick, all he does is based on his own opinion, he is uninformed and opinionated, all he does is wat he wants. ass hole

[KrankyBIAS]

Its a good thing censorship exists, my kids were gonna go out tommorow and blast people with fireballs to see their guts... wait no they weren't because I taught them to not be so fucking retarded...

[TechUnadept]

I agree. If you don't like him, send him packing.

[fraseda9]

i love how he laughs to hit his anger

[kr1spness]

It's offensive because kids will learn about what happens when you drop the soap.

[serb619]

I heard South Australia is abolishing the MA15+ rating is this actually gonna happen?

[loadingscreens]

@shinitaru no, we still have M rated games and MA games, its only R18 and even that is coming soon. And the government can't actually block these games from a personal order under the law I think, so as long as it's PAL then I'm sure that games can be imported.

[Raklryja]

R18+ rating just added! Rejoice!

[shinitaru]

have been wondering tho, I live in the US so I don't know can AU gamers buy M-rated titles through Ebay or other internet retailer or have they found some way of blocking that too? if its a stupid question just pop me upside the head, no throwing of rotten veggies, please

[shinitaru]

a massive bag of smashed assholes, lol.  epic insult!

[boomshiekia]

WE HAVE THE SAME SHIRT!!!

JTHM FTW!!!

[HunterMordor]

Massive bag of smashed assholes? I'm totally using that.

[krazykazza1]

LOL, watching this in 2011 - i find it amusing that after this video was made (a day or so after the media noticed the law), Michael Atkinson was only in office for another couple of months!

[TheDrakenon]

I find this guy very amusing :D

[ConmanDuf]

massive bag of smashed arseholes.... i almost pissed myself laughing XD

[jawsome39]

Thank god atkinson is out of the Attorney General office

[EvilPhoenix007X]

I feel sorry for you aussies but cmon guys don't just sit there, FREAKING KILL THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!!

[MsWolverine98]

is that the iron man logo on his laptop?

[lorddante97]

i have a challenge for Atkinson,

name ONE mainstream game that includes child porn

it has to have been released in AT LEAST two regions and is well know

if he can't than he needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP

[Mikeybetts]

@Blunty3000

bro bro bro bro bro?

bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro bro

bro bro bro!!

BRO BRO BROOOOOOOO!?!?!?

[lordpatthethird]

@Mikeybetts

DUUUUUDE

[lightdanger]

So why is he still in office?

[Mikeybetts]

@lightdanger

because ever creationist and "think of the children" douchebags keep voting for him

[Thisshitisfuckedup]

@Mikeybetts Fortunately, most of those people are old tossers and will therefore die soon, therefore allowing the ever expanding gaming community to take control of the shizzles and stuff.

[TheTonyTigar]

"this isn't China... yet..." best line in this XD

[drakewingfire]

I feel bad for Australians now.. Honestly, I hope you guys do succeed in finding a way to get this hyper-conservative out of the government. One mans opinion should never trump the will of an entire nation like he is trying to do.

[ArmLessChief]

@Blunty3000 The notifications on the bottom right of your screen look like the notifications for a program called "Facebook Desktop".

[TheDonandMurphshow]

ha wanker,i love australia

[TheExplosiveman21]

@giorgiv18 not sure but he ripps on him in most of the early vids

[giorgiv18]

what's the review when yatzee attacks atkinson?

[FaceMeetPavement]

@giorgiv18 Tomb Raider: Underworld, should be on page 7 atm and its right at the very end.

[giorgiv18]

@FaceMeetPavement thanks :)

[FaceMeetPavement]

@giorgiv18 Not a problem :P

[BILLYTHEKID250]

it going come two it gamers and moviers lovers going start importing the movies and games swich i just import mortal kombat 3 weeks and got it fine. that old fark should be fired and games are the same as movies just put a R18+ on games

[RenmarStriff]

Hope you australians get that asshole out of power. Coming from an american and dealing with idiots in politics ourselfs [from other topics] I wish yall the best.

[FullMetalAlcohol]

OMG Blunty said fuck - gonna report this to MICHAEL ATKINSON!!! Oh wait - he's resigned. Oh goody.

[jesseaclarkson]

I freakin love your guys's veiws just rightuos and aswome ....ya i know i can't spell ....bugger off and plug in the game to the tele..... YYYAAAAYYY to the gaming comunity :-)

[YNot1989]

This is basically the only thing conservative politicians in America have over those in the more civilized world, THEY long since realized there is no stopping what games people want to and will find a way to play.

[YNot1989]

Michael Atkinson has to be Lord Humongous before the radiation hits.

[spiketamara2007]

omg its tony stark hidden on youtube. i mean no offence but u look kinda like him. if anything its kinda cool how u do. now where is your iron man suit.

[hoodman12]

@spiketamara2007 how would that be offense lol

[spiketamara2007]

@hoodman12 its cuz some people take offence to things very easy hell if i looked like iron man though and some1 told me i did id take it as a honor to look like a superhero naturally.

[8bitfalcon]

i am thirsty for mother and i dont know why

[drgoodman8]

i just sore the martix wow

[MatchTheStampede]

I SEE NNY!

[breasthound]

atkinson recieved an award for "Biggest refusal to die" from zero punctuation.

[08jackt]

like times a thousand

[MrPizzapoika]

This is another great reminder that assassination is a great way to solve problems.

[AntonyJosephM]

@MrPizzapoika lol.

But yeah you're right.

[DiEx80]

To Blunty3000: We had an asshole in the US by the name of Jack Thompson. He was a lawyer that had badgered the game industry to the point he got disbarred! I am sure that Atkinson will be the same in some time.

[ELSIK2]

@DiEx80 He stepped down, a year and a half ago

[Volf99]

@DiEx80 Is that why I don't hear about Jack Thompson talking shit about GTA anymore?

[DiEx80]

@Volf99 Yep. He was disbarred in 2008. Although he does do some minor retarded things now and then.

[iceytoa1]

I know this is a late time to make a comment on this video, but where did you get that awesome Iron Man wallpaper?

I've been looking for it for months :(

[elomis]

Bet you feel like a douche a year or so on finding out that even in the absence of Atkinson we still don't have an adult rating for games. Congrats on being yet another dick to oversimplify an important issue in a YouTube video. *slow clap*

[Mirk0waR]

ahaha australians are so stupid

[Bryce24796]

@Mirk0waR Hahahah Canadians are such cunts

[AntonyJosephM]

@Mirk0waR explain?

[Biodeamon]

Too long, didn't listen lol

[SilentOneL]

@Biodeamon TSDR

[TwlightdragonDF]

ANYONE WHO DOES NOT WANT THE WORLD TO SEE FIGHT CLUB NEEDS TO BE EXECUTED.

[RanterOfStuff]

4:38 LOL'D at how he said "wanker" xD

[sklease]

its a wonder he hasn't been shot yet

[smillapants]

I feel like the way that you are getting your point across is counterproductive to the cause. I agree with the sentiment of what you are saying but when you speak like child people are going to try and treat you like a child.

[SirAroace]

@smillapants

How is he acting like a child?

[DaisukiDaYo92]

The first thing I noticed was the shirt. JTHM :D



[gooddarkjedi]

heheheh. good thing that i live in finland. in here you can show people nacked and not even get 11pg

[brucy9]

China? ha, i don't know that much about Australia but it looks kind of funny with you putting up these well thought arguments. Not to piss you off anymore than you are already but honestly feel bad for ya. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater or indisputable moron, it sounds pretty bad from my point of view

[BRm2008]

a stupid idea indeed to have a closed off place just cause a movie is rated a particular rating or even a gaylord brown bag like with porn mags. and i am also thinking that a movie cant have a trailer on it higher than the feature's rating like with video tapes. an M rated video cant have or mention a movie that is higher in rating. how is mentioninga movie's name gonna hurt people's mental stability? yah thats what used to happen on video back in the day.

[BRm2008]

all cover ups all the time in australia. aus pollies are are rotton and crooked. they can go to hell. and the christian lobbys and some politicians froma different state can decide what the rest of the country can see/hear/play.

[kiecool1994]

Blunty if you do read these more current comments now that he is out of office do you think you will get an 18 adult rating?

[katrinaelwynn]

This being the first video of yours I have watched, I have immediately subscribed. Your sensibility in combination with your humor is perfect. Please continue : )

[Borene999]

hmm. lets start a michael atkinson assassination fund..

Gamers donate a gold coin and we get to play mortal kombat.

I mean I'm not sure if hes still in parliament.

[EpicFallOut]

"a massive bag of smashed assholes" hahhaahhhahhhahahahahh

[wiccanmoonman]

Proud to live in the USA and soon Canada if a republican gets in the whitehouse again.

[MISSINGPIECE245]

the sad thing is that if we kill Michael Atkinson and free Australia we prove him right

[Silonex1]

poor yatzzy,,,,poor poor yatzzy.

[keymasta]

an now the new mortal kombats banned in austraila sux haha

[naded117]

Robert Downey Jr.?

[LoorBatu]

Games, movies, and pretty much anything else that gets an idea out there should never be regulated, and it's so good to see so many championing the position. You, and others like you all over the internet, are raising awareness of gamers everywhere. And since most of us ARE adults, in a massive group we are in position to make a difference against the political figures who would try and destroy our favored pass-time. So thank you.

[killerbanshe3]

massive bag of smashed arseholes. you sir, have earnt my subscription lol

[tryetryetrye]

DUDE THAT IS A SICK JTHM SHIRT!!!!!!! Nice taste in comics brah! I will gladly GIVE you my director's cut JTHM.

[BRm2008]

not just games.. our film/video ratings and the markings are still outragious and have become like some red state. those markings are obtrusive and reak of nanny state or red state.. i dont want to see these annoying things everytime i start a dvd/bluray i hate looking at these ugly things and i think the X rating is a joke in this country. the guidelines are abit strict.

[joustinApe]

you just have to wait a few decades before they die but by then you will have virtual bunny sex

[Danimusprime1]

Hehe, Optimus Prime in the background. Either masterpiece or a statue.

[alZiiHardstylez]

Hey, I'm Australian. A young Australian, but we haven't lost too many 'important' games, we still got GTA and some fairly bloody and gruesome games.

I don't think Manhunt should be like, uhh. Around.

As for the films, there's a bit of a difference.

That bullshit, no question about it.

[miyabi121190]

I love your JTHM shirt. Seriously. And does that energy drink say "Mother"?

[chesterinoaussie]

@miyabi121190 yeah its an energy drink, called mother...... idk why but it tastes alright, as far as energy drinks go

[MADMANx511]

@miyabi121190 Yeah, it's the best brand of energy drink in Australia xD

[miyabi121190]

@MADMANx511 Must import...then give it to someone. Then take a drink just so I can tell the person "Hey, I just drank your Mother."

*derp*

[TophBeiFong2]

@MADMANx511 Cheers to that mate.

[Rosencrew]

OMG he's wearing a JTHM t-shirt!!!!!  :D

[ConbonJD]

If These games are banned in australia then how do gamers get there hands on them. Or do you just play mario all the time.

[slayermate07]

HOLY SHIT...

WHAT THE FUCK IS JACK THOMPSON DOING IN AUSTRALIA, WEARING A SHITTY MASK?!!

[skiddlecrumms]

@slayermate07 That's the first thing I thought!

[slayermate07]

@skiddlecrumms lol nice

[Blckdahlia666]

I want your mother :)

[Blckdahlia666]

I want your mother :)

[wesmatron]

Offer to go around to Atkinson's house and tell him you'll turn the radio/TV off every time something comes on you don't agree with.

;)

[sandman2414]

I see where alot of you are coming from but he's realy just pointing out the obvious when he says Michael Atkinson is a D-bag or an idiot. Sometime you have to just call em as you see em

[agricola]

australia, a nice place to visit, a miserable place to live. stupid bans on everything and anything.

[CountChronic]

australia with small a seems to be a silly place

[SuperAngryHippo]

@CountChronic ??

[Vind1ctus]

Protip: Calling a moron a moron isn't constructive

I don't like Atkinson either. However, this video should serve as a warning to others. Claiming you're an intelligent australian while simultaneously calling another person a douche bag, asshole etc, completely contradicts your stance.

[SuperAngryHippo]

@Vind1ctus that's exactly what i was thinking when i watched the video

[DoomsdayOdd]

@Vind1ctus not really.

[Vind1ctus]

@DoomsdayOdd

Yes really. Hypocrisy and ad hominem betray the argument of a reasonable person.

[DoomsdayOdd]

@Vind1ctus I fail to see how it insult an idiot makes him an idiot.

[Vind1ctus]

@DoomsdayOdd

He calls Atkinson a great many names, idiot being one, while claiming he is a responsible, intelligent adults. I'm sorry, but no. Responsible, intelligent adults do not fly off the hook like this guy did. They remain reasonable in arguments.

Not only that, but screaming at Atkinson does nothing but affirm his point of "Gamers are all angry people".

[DoomsdayOdd]

@Vind1ctus oh just shut up you snob. a bit of swearing and insultery never hurt. its called being less offended, and more straightforward.

Intelligent people can very easily be angry people, and there is nothing wrong with letting out said anger in non violent way.

plus, its fucking atkinson.

[Vind1ctus]

@DoomsdayOdd

Are you serious? Have you ever debated properly? Go and google ad hominem. I'm not going to get into it, but emotion should never enter an argument. The best arguments are fought with reason and logic, not swearing.

Intelligent people can be angry, I never said they can't. But anger usually ends up causing this; betraying your stance of 'responsible' and 'intelligent' because you had to throw in a few 'douchebag's or 'asshole's.

[tusike]

best video i've seen all week

scratch that, all month.

[xMostExcellentx]

Anyone else think he kind of looks like Robert Downey Jr.?

The Iron Man Acr Reactor looking wallpaper isnt helping.....

[kairishotdude]

subscribed favourated and epicly LOLED and AGREED

[Theo2kitty]

( X) Censorship... sometimes it's good, but most of the time people would ban or flag shit that REALLY doesn't need to be censored!!! seriously, either people censor it becuase of a stupid joke, or becuase they do it becuase they don't like it or they think it shows something that they THINK is "Oh so terrible and inappropriate" when it really isn't ...ugh. haha...

~Nel.

[Tprinces]

Fight Club is one of my favorite movies of all time

[viperxraptor2001]

hey blunty, IF YOU WANT TO SEE A CONSERVATIVE ASS-STAIN, LOOK UP GLENN BECK

[WillMio]

Sorry, I can't sympathize because I live in America where we have free speech :)

[KoolKluxKlan666]

@WillMio You're a fucking idiot we don't have free speech at all.

[WillMio]

@KoolKluxKlan666 Do you live in America? If so, you do.

[AkrayBothorda]

Spot Optimus Prime about to smash that can of Mother!

[TheRealDEMAND]

Michael Atkinson is trolling :D

na but seriously this Atkinson guy needs to think this through.

I mean MA 15 + gives the games access to a younger audience and he says making it 18 + is for profit purposes..... SERIOUSLY!?

[JPWMT]

If you want kiddie porn, talk to the censors. :P They`d be ecstatic to sell it to anyone.

[viperxraptor2001]

@JPWMT IF YOU WANT ANIMAL PORN, THEY'D CAVE LIKE SHIT AND SELL THE FUCK OUT OF IT!

[JPWMT]

I mean, who else can determine what `looks like a child.`

[JPWMT]

Atkinson fucks babies just like the rest of Australia`s pedo-censors!

[dexsmith99]

Blunty, You're Amazing.

[breeannaqktjbl]

Free Energy is real and its here but the coverup is strong, if you are interested in a REAL free energy machine then

just go to LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM and download the blueprints ,it is probably the ONLY working magnet

motor out there. Join the free energy revolution!!

[evilchibi4reel]

Michael Atkinson viewed this video 43 times

[keyanage]

they are doing it to fine traders, it is not at all to protect minors because if it was to protect minors the Australian government wouldnt lower the ratings on R18+ games to MA15+... there is no logic to it other than money and control. If they want to do it allow us traders to work within our own region.

[Nannirk]

So, what's the development in the matter?

[Parasite617]

my bro has that same shirt. JTHM

[amigodemoose]

OH MY GOD HE IS WEARING A JTHM SHIRT!!!

[cwkall01]

nice screensaver at first i thought it was a portal screensaver.. btw i'm 15 and fight club is one of the only movies I've watched that actually makes you think it is awesome

[TheCortexTube]

Britfag here. If you hate this, read up about ACTA, which will allow the police to search your computer without warn, and shut down your Internet without trial. Also, it will ban all P2P downloads, which aren't all bad. If enough people oppose ACTA, it will never pass. This will apply to everywhere aside from South America, or so I am aware. Also, N. Korea is not affected, but if your reading this in NK, your most likely already in a labor camp for free speech.

[FRr3AkOnALEaSh]

In order to buy MA 15+ Games as a young person, you need ID or you wont be able to purchase. So why don't they just class higher content games as R 18+ and only sell to older audiences =S? Problem solved.

[westalofbarthilas]

43 people are brainwashe north koreans.

[gunttoo]

Well done, Michael you miserable old Fuck

[LXseven23]

Robocop is R18+ i saw it when i was 7 and i've never shot Peter Weller...

[darkstar3x16]

Yep I heard Australia banned porn featuring women with small breasts. Wtf kind of fucked up country has Australia become? I always wanted to move there but this censorship is crazy.

[KingRalis]

lol one of my best internet friends is the son of michael atkinson, if he's telling the truth, and he absolutely LOVES videogames. he plays halo a lot.

[AwesomeNstuff]

YOU LOOK LIKE IRON MAN!!! :D

[Monthral1]

If i bring a non censored american version of l4d2 would it still be illegal?

[Dreathy]

massive bag of smashed assholes... brilliant! xD

[grendelee]

what the fuck is wrong with australia? Did you guys used to have TOO much liberty, and now your swinging the other way? lol what the fuck

[Natdaprat]

I hate Michael Atkinson. His opinion SHOULDN'T matter more than the MAJORITY of Australians.

[PoweredOnReviews]

I live in New Zealand and I still feel some hatred towards Michael Atkinson.

[razer3230]

I support micheal Atkinson !!!! :D

[rightstyle668]

l4d2 censored but look at gears of war :S

[jaikty]

is there someway to complain to michael atkinson directly? as in his personal email..i wanna flood that fuckers inbox with complaints until he allows R18 games

[grendelee]

@jaikty until he feels like a martyr? lol

[TheJesterFacade]

If there is one thing I hate, its censorship. I think i'll spread this link around now. Even if its not my government thats f*cking up (Even though it is) i still can't stand for it. F*ck the police.

[WarriorPrime9000]

Optimus Prime = Win

Cheap political shot = Fail

...imma gonna call this one even...

[PoweredOnReviews]

@WarriorPrime9000 He deserves all the crap he gets

Look on wikipedia for "list of banned video games" and look how out of proportion Australia is on the list.

[mothersday123]

My school doesn't teach foreign affairs and so on. I like learning about other countries and their politics, policies and so on. The cursing helps too. I like this.

[mitchhh95]

omg i saw pokemonz fight im going to go kick some1s ass ffs how dumb do they think people are
