Refusing ratings "a case of pure hypocrisy"

The topic of some videogames being denied a rating, effectively banning them in some areas, has been slowly but surely gaining traction. Some recent examples include the Manhunt 2 debacle in the UK where the game was released with an 18+ rating only after Rockstar was forced to remove some content, and the Video Appeals Committee used its independent scrutiny to overturn the BBFC's decision. And Australia's ridiculous rating system where 15+ is the highest possible rating a game can receive is always fun to see in action.
