Australian lobbyist group petitions to re-rate Modern Warfare 2

Modern Warfare 2 lets you play as a terrorist. There are other bits in there too - something about "defending freedom" and "delivering a swift kick to terrorism's hindquarters" - but those don't matter. At least, not according to Australian lobbyist group Australian Council on Children and the Media.

"The consequences of terrorism are just abhorrent in our community and yet here we are with a product that's meant to be passed off as a leisure time activity, actually promoting what most world leaders speak out publicly against," council president Jane Roberts told the Sydney Morning Herald.

"If that material was on the internet about how to become a terrorist, how to join a group and how to wipe out people - that would be removed because it would not be acceptable."

Roberts and her group have demanded that the Australian government re-rate Modern Warfare 2 from MA 15+ to "Uncensored Left 4 Dead 2." Aka, "probably banned."

Infinity Ward told us yesterday that the scene in question is skippable, but that obviously hasn't stopped Roberts and co. from going on the warpath.

Well, we're sure you all have some words for Miss Roberts. We'll just leave you two alone now.
