You spell it "petition". On a more serious note, there hasn't just been petitions, there have been MAJOR protests, it's gone by a few names, once of which is "L4R18+", they happened on November 21st (The weekend L4D2 was released in Australia, it was on a weekend to attract more participants). There was also a separate protest where a few thousand people walked around parliament dressed and acting like zombies (yes, they really were).

I've posted this in many places before, especially around these forums, but get involved in the campaigns, help us Aussies! The main agenda for the groups is actually to exclude minister Michael Atkinson from decisions (It may sound strange, however he alone is what is blocking all of Australia from receiving an R18+ rating (The man has archaic ideas about censorship, he wants All television, DVD/Videos censored, he's also behind trying to have a nationwide censor placed upon the internet, the man only remains in office because of his other views). You may ask why one man can ruin it for millions, well the Australian law system works much like an American court system, by which I mean that EVERY state in Australia (The Governments in charge of that particular state, yes we elect the people in, we aren't fucking communists) must agree to pass a law, allowing R18+ games has been voted on many times, with every state passing it except for SA which has been forced to vote no because of the worthless sack of shit known as Atkinson, meaning the law cannot pass. You may also wonder then what the Australian public thinks regarding the issue, well multiple national surveys have been taken with 92% of Australians saying "an R18+ rating would be perfectly fine" (Under the idea that it would be like alcohol and need ID, etc).

Funny side note, because of the insane amount of major releases Australia might miss out on because of these laws the censorship boards (which captain fucknugget has no part in or real control over) are EXTREMELY lenient, for example, GTA4 in most countries is an R18+ rated game, however in Australia it was allowed through in as an MA15+ title (it was censored slightly, in that when you hire a whore and have sex with her, instead of being able to look inside the car and watch the view would be blocked by the camera moving below the car door, although this doesn't affect the game at all since this has no real bearing on the game), and most games are actually treated like this. This means that this worthless old man, instead of "protecting our youth" (as he calls it) is instead allowing the "youth" to get access to the worlds most violent and grotesque games even earlier than any other civilized nation on Earth!

I feel that before I leave that I should tell you all that the insane amount of protests has mad an influence and in 2010 (My time now, yes Yankees, I live in the future!) there will be a hearing regarding the R18+ rating on video games! We have high hopes, so wish us luck! We hope to see the uncensored game in STORES by the end of the year. Once it happens I would literally frame my censored copy, (It may sound stupid, with it now being useless it would go up in value, it would also symbolize (incoming over-dramatics) FREEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!) Until then I will be enjoying my uncensored copy which was imported from New Zealand.

Regarding my imported copy, Guess where I found out about it? An advert on these forums, I love you forums!

The "classical" zombies are actually still alive once you cut off their heads, they can't use their bodies and are pretty much just a head that would bite at your shoes if you stood right beside it. To kill them you have to destroy the brain!

Oh lord, saying that filled my mind with the funniest image. Picture if you will, 5 zombie heads all lined up in a cupboard with ball gags in their mouths (So they don't moan AND so that I can touch them without being infected), and moving around. Wouldn't it be so weird and to a disturbing point, hilarious?:rofl:

Eventually though, your zombie heads will run out of whatever juice that keeps them going and will just die.

WHAT DO YOU DO THEN?!

I never watched that remake, I'll probably rent it sometime, it's old now so I could probably get it pretty cheaply.

Apparently though a regular zombie can live for around 4 to 5 years (Using the Solanum zombification virus as an example (It is now considered cannon to "classical" zombies as it has pretty much collaborated what most considered the zombie lore of the time)) before they succumb to rot, so If I even wanted it at that point (I'm sure it would disturb me eventually and I'd throw that crap out), I suppose I could kill another zombie (I'd probably have to anyway for one reason or another) and mount it again (I'd pick it up with a shovel, not touching that shit with my hands until it's gagged). However if the invasion was over I guess I wouldn't have any options. I'd probably be forced to get rid of it anyway if the invasion was stopped, since it would still be able to infect shit or whatever.

What do you mean by this? it was so gross you wanted to throw up?
