First Australia tries to censor the Internets (lulz!) and now they are [banning gay zombie porn](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100721/film_nm/us_gay)? Did Australia get taken over by some sort of fascist regime and I missed it? ---

Between the fine examples of stuff like this and Mel Gibson, maybe those guys should reconsider rejecting [Lord Humungus’ benevolent rule](http://web.archive.org/web/20060828160001/http://lordhumungus.ytmnd.com/). I’m pretty sure he would have let you have guns AND freaky porno. ---

You see that shit in your peripheral vision and your head is going to automatically turn, just to say WTF? You can’t “just walk away.” There is no safe passage in the wasteland after seeing that. ---

As long as no actual corpse are harmed I don’t see the problem. ---

That’s the kinda thing you’d want to have down in writing, though, I imagine. ---
