Today's revelation that Saw III has sparked mass walkouts and faintings in cinemas across Australia has continued to strengthen recent statisitics which show that the majority of Australian adults are more offended by violence rather than 'actual' sex. (ACNielsen, Sept 2006).

What makes this even more resounding is the fact that Saw III, part of the now notoriously grisly and graphically horrifying trilogy directed by Darren Lynn Bousman, is only rated MA15+, meaning teenagers as young as 15 can legally watch the film in all cinemas across the country without parental guidance.

 If something so torturously foul as this can be screened to such young, impressionable minds, how is it that "depictions of actual sex between consenting adults" is considered "offensive to the reasonable adult" and thus restricted for sale throughout the States of Australia?
