Here in Australia it's not all meat pies and kangaroos. We have other things like computers and video games.

We can play video games like Counter-Strike, where you can stab people in the face or snipe them from a distance.

We can play games like Grand Theft Auto, in which you can beat people up and steal their cars.

Heck, we even play games like Hitman, and strangle people with piano wire.

But there's one game we're not allowed to play. It has been banned by our classification board, because of it's potential to incite crime.

What kind of game could be banned in Australia, given the wealth of violent games already available to us, you ask? What could it possibly involve? Raping and murdering? No. Racial or religious intolerence? No. Genocide? Uh uh.

Graffitti.

Yep, Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure, a game whose objective is to spray paint your tag onto public buildings, has been deemed too dangerous to be released in Australia.

I, for one, feel much safer. I think I'll go home and play some Jet Set Radio Future to celebrate my newfound security.
