Australia Bans 'Grand Theft Auto'

SYDNEY, Australia -- Banned down under. That's the fate of the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas."

Officials for the Australian agency that rates software and game titles says the game has been banned from sale.

That means the game can no longer be legally sold, rented, advertised or exhibited in Australia.

If you want to talk about a raiting system that needs an overhaul, take a look at Australia. Their highest raiting is 15! This would be like at T rating here in the US. I can't believe San Andreas had a 15 rating in Australia in the first place.
