Latest Leisure Suit Larry banned - 6/10/2004
John Gillooly & Byron Connolly, Atomic
Upcoming game Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude has been refused classification and banned by the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) due to its sexual content.
This comes hot on the heels of the refusal of classification last week of the game Manhunt after its initial MA15+ classification was reviewed.
Leisure Suit Larry is based around the bumbling journeys of a suit-clad character Larry Lovage who takes part in "extra curricular" activities at college. Larry attempts to woo and have sex with or play sexualised games with a series of female characters, an OFLC report said.
The game was officially refused classification on 9 September.
The report said the computer game contains "obscured and/or implied sexual activity and obscured and partial nudity involving stylised, animated characters."
These depictions occur in "full-motion video sequences" and include instances such as Larry receiving below-screen fellatio from Koko. "Sucking sounds are heard," said the OFLC.
An OFLC spokesperson confirmed that the title had been banned and could not be imported, hired or sold to the public.
Publisher Vivendi Universal Games has declined to comment on the decision about Leisure Suit Larry, which is a highly anticipated follow-up to a successful series of adventure games during the 1980s and 1990s.
Competing publisher Ubisoft publishes games title Playboy: The Mansion. In this game, players take control of Hugh Hefner as they build the Playboy empire.
Similar to Larry, the game features censored depictions of sexual activity.

Idiots are far more dangerous to people, than some natural sexual stuff.

In more serious terms, what a crock of crap. If anything all this will do is send it underground and people will be privately importing it. Customs will have alot of fun trying to catch it coming in, if they even work out its a 'prohibited item'.
it could very well have been cut for time on the dvd, or during that song the DAT recording peaked and the song became unusable because it wouldve been unprofessional.
shouldnt jump to conclusions till you know your right. you very well could be.
but who am i talking to?
I have to wonder if folks Down Under are becoming as apathetic towards what goes on in Canberra as people here in the States are regarding what happens in Washington (having less - far less, in too many cases - than 40% of eligible Americans actually vote on average sure as hell qualifies as apathy in my book).

Heh, heh... like I said...;)
Tyvar: And you think the same thing can't happen [I]here[/I]? The Poster Formerly Known as Simmonds (:D) still has a damn good point. Ms. Jackson's little stunt may not have raised any eyebrows over in your neck of the woods, but I know it pi$$ed off (and still pi$$es off) a lot of people here in the Land of Entrapment (and the rest of the Bible Belt as well).
[B]Nothing Canberra does these days surprises me anymore; this kind of B.S. is unfortunately not unusual these days (or so it seems).

Given how the election that was yesterday apparently went (I'm basing this on a headline I glimpsed on the plane earlier), I think they are.
Americans have always wanted certain things kept out of the public eye, but as long as we can by them discretely, its okay.
