NZ bans videogame
November 30, 2004 - 12:22PM

New Zealand's censor has banned a videogame as injurious to the public good, citing racist, sexist and homophobic humour directed at gays, Asians, militant Islamists and conservatives.

Chief censor Bill Hastings said the American game - Postal 2: Share the Pain - asked players to control a character who exposed his penis, urinated on, attacked and killed opposing groups including "angry parents protesting violent games, Arab terrorists, Catholics, Indian shop owners, gay men and other stereotyped minority and protest groups".

The game is only the second computer game to be banned by New Zealand's Office of Film and Literature Classification.

The first, last year, and was another American product, Manhunt.

The ruling on Postal 2 said: "The game is designed and has the capacity to allow the player to test how much violence and humiliation he or she can inflict on human beings and animals in a variety of everyday settings and circumstances".

It said the need to protect the public good from injury outweighed the right of individuals to entertain themselves with the "callous and brutal" game.

Anyone who supplies, distributes, exhibits, displays or advertises the game in New Zealand faces a year in jail.

The game is advertised on the internet as being available in Australia.

I've got the game.

It is fun in a morbid way - you get bored with it quickly though
