Left 4 Dead 2 Refused Australian Classification a Second Time

It is hard to fathom what the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification thinks at times. The unedited version of Left 4 Dead 2 was submitted twice, and both times failing to fall within the guidelines of the maximum MA 15+ classification level. What is most striking, and disturbing, about their decision, is the reasoning [...]
