That shocked me when I was in Australia. I thought our BBFC ratings were ugly next to the logo-free artwork of American DVDs, but the size of the ones on the front and back of Australian boxes is obscene. I actually bought one that had a reversible cover where the reverse side had the same artwork and everything without the rating logo, which I thought said it all.VOOK said:We even have big logo's covering up our boxarts.

This country can be really weird sometimes. (been here two months)

With the net censorship they're about to bring in, and banning anything that might be slightly offensive (particularly with the drug use in games...what the fuck really), we are starting to look like North Korea

What? Last I heard it was going to be a static blocklist of 10,000 sites. I have more than that in my AdblockPlus filters and it certainly doesn't lead to "30% slower internet"`Moe Joe. said:Yep. 30% slower internet if this internet goes through

:lol I used to go out of my way doing stuff like this, because i initially found the logos so insulting, but i seriously can't be fucked now.NekoFever said:That shocked me when I was in Australia.
