Hey Australia, Here’s The Trailer To Saints Row IV, That Game You Won’t Get To Play Because It’s Been Banned

Last week, news broke that Saints Row IV — the latest installment in the nutcase gang violence franchise developed by Volition Inc and published by Deep Silver — had been refused classification in Australia, leaving the local gaming community shaking their heads in confusion ’cause hey, didn’t we just successfully introduce an R18+ rating into this country earlier in the year, specifically so this kinda nonsense wouldn’t happen anymore?

Alas, the Australia Classification Board cares not for your measly ‘laws’, if it means stopping the vile pollution of our nation’s young (well, 18-and-over) minds. Sorry Australia, but as Kotaku reported earlier this week, you will not get to play with “anal probe weapons” and “alien narcotics”, no matter how much you really, really want to, you sick nutjob.

But, at least we can have a look at exactly what we’re missing out on! Here’s the game’s ridiculous trailer, featuring the dulcet tones of cult actor Keith David and more broad offensiveness than you can poke a, well, anal probe weapon at.

So yeah, it isn’t exactly my cup o’ tea, but I can see the appeal if you’re a pea-brained manchild. And listen, I say! If a pea-brained manchild, well into their adulthood, wants to further dilute their brain cells by playing such pea-brained nonsense, they must be allowed to make their own decisions! Or else, we will rue our future, as their pea-brained mind matter is endlessly shrunken into a tinier pea — nay, the child of a pea — and our society will be further sullied, filled with baby pea-brains wandering around in silly confusion, pondering “anal probing overlords” in their daily comings-and-goings. To paraphrase the words of Paul Giamatti as that angry old dude, liberty must reign!

Sorry, I got caught up in the stupidity of that trailer. That alien Statue of Liberty thing was kinda funny, though, lols.
