Billboards in computer game picture "disrespect" blacks?
Ayers rock, now known as Uluru, is a big lump of rock that seems to have crashed into the middle of Australia from outer space eons ago. It looks rather spectacular rising from the flat desert around it. It has always been something of a sight for tourists. Some Australian blacks claim it has religious significance for them, however, so the Australian government now heavily restricts access to it by whites.
But what about a picture of the rock in a computer game? Is that sacred too? Apparently it is. As we read:
"Telstra BigPond has come under fire for placing advertising billboards on its Second Life island right in front of a virtual model of Uluru. The company has since removed the billboards, which contained BigPond logos, after online communities expert Laurel Papworth complained in a blog post titled "Bigpond brands uluru". She claimed the telco was being insensitive to indigenous Australians.

Oh for God's sake - this is PC at it's height of inanity!
It's a GAME! This is the same sort of medieval thinking that gets people slaughtered for depicting Mohammed in paper and ink.
The world just got a little dumber.
I'd say it's the blacks who are insensitive to the rest of the world by not allowing anyone except themselves near that lump of rock...
Aren't they racist for doing so?
If I start a church and ban non-members from entering I'm liable to get sued.
So if a bunch of whites claim the Sydney Opera House has religious significance to them the government can restrict access to non-whites?
Political correctness will destroy us. It is already eroding many of our freedoms and has actually altered the way we speak, think, and express ourselves. And like terrorism, it is fueled by the stupidity and weakness of the people.
Its nothing but a rock its no god i mean its a false god worshipped by pagans
