Left 4 Dead 3: The Office of Film and Literature Classification

Picture the scene: A board room with a group of people around a table, debating the latest batch of movies and video games heading to our shores. They pick up a copy of "Left 4 Dead 2". "Hmm." ponders one member, with a frown on his face. Another member takes the box from the first and utters some disapproving clucks before shaking his head. Another hand reaches across and extracts it from the grip of the second person. A soft gasp is heard as this person looks at the box. "Zombies? Decapitation and piles of bodies? Splashes of blood? Oh no no no no no, we can't let the Australian population be exposed to such violence. It will warp anyone who sees this, it will destroy our moral values, it will harm our children, we must think of the children!!!!" A couple voices of reason rise up, mentioning the fact that the first game received the MA rating, but these nay-sayers are shouted down, the giant BANNED stamp is hauled out, inked up and the game is now marred by a giant red word across it's face. It is then tossed on a pile of similarly banned titles while the board reaches for the next one, smug in the knowledge that they have protected the people from such evil, as all the while the real world passes them by and heads deeper into the 21st century and slowly they are Left 4 Dead.
