What does 158kg of R18+ submissions look like?


Video games retailer EB Games today revealed it had received over 46,000 submissions from customers in support of a new R18+ Australian classification category for games. And this is what it looks like.

30,000 of the submissions were hand-signed in EB Games' stores over the past two weeks, with another 16,000 collected online in conjunction with Grow Up Australia, an organisation also pushing for a R18+ rating. The retailer will hand all of the signed submissions - 158kg of paper - to the Attorney's General's Department this week.

46000 submissions for the creation of an R18+ category for games. I agree that adults should be allowed to play adult games. Further, I think there should be an "Unclassified" category. That would make the classification process look more like classification and less like censorship.
