		<description>&lt;p&gt;I went to Dark Knight this afternoon. Sitting behind me was a very stupid father and 2 children under the age of 8 I would say. What a stupid stupid father?? The kids talked nonstop through the film,,...&quot;daddy why.....?&quot; &quot; does that mean that man is....&quot;? blah blah. When I turned and told the guy that I couldn&#039;t hear case his kids were having a conversation with him, he told me to mind my own business. I then said&quot; hay mate....this film is rated M and these kids shouldnt be here.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Poor kids and very stupid father. Probably taking kids out without the mother knowing what the hell Dark Knight is. A violent and adult film. I hope these kids arent tooo scared and scarred from this viewing. Why dont we have a more age enforcing law. We should be looking after these poor kids, and sometimes saving them from stupid parents who take no notice of &quot;suggested &quot; or &quot;recommended&quot; ratings like MA....... &lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;If only there was a way to get rid of these idiotic morons, who just like to lay around and blame other people why their kids run around destroying things.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Poor kid, I know who&#039;s gonna get thrown into a nursing home when they get old...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Is this woman insane?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;M rating is there because it&#039;s for MATURE AUDIENCES NOT A FREAKING 8YR OLD.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;gg you stupid Sydney twat it&#039;s people like you that destroy things for the rest of us.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I would like to thank News Limited for showing the clear ignorance of parents everywhere.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To Sydney mother Laurina: Coke has an agreement with Bundy to have Bundy and Coke in cans, but you wouldn&#039;t give that to your kid because he likes Cola, would you?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Just because there is Batman Lego, it doesn&#039;t mean &quot;Batman&quot; is for children. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;M stands for Mature, 15 or over. That&#039;s what ratings are for - a guide for parents. Don&#039;t assume anything when raising your children - LEARN the ratings and use your judgment from advertising and reviews.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Stop relying on other people to protect your children. Their your children and your responsibility!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yup. We really are turning into a totalitarian nation. I can tolerate the ridiculous amount of red tape in this country [in small doses] but filtering the internet and rejecting a practical R18+ game rating? Imbeciles (like that mother) only speed up the process.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Haha I read this and then just couldn&#039;t help myself to go to the site and post a nice comment - &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Laurina of Sydney I feel no sympathy towards you or your son. The Dark Knight is rated M - which in this country means &quot;M15+ - Recommended for mature audiences 15 YEARS AND OVER&quot; - Yes that doesn&#039;t mean restricted, and yeah the logo is a friendly Blue colour instead of a horrifying Blood Red like the MA15+ logo, but seriously you are the only one to blame for your mistake. Your son is 8, the movie is recommended for 15+ unless i&#039;m mistaken your son will be about ready to watch it in roughly 7 years time. Get a clue, i&#039;m 23 years old and appear to be more mature than you. Would you like some life coaching lessons? Maybe some parenting lessons? I&#039;m available for both for a nominated fee.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That&#039;s my rant for the day....sigh&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I returned from seeing TDK about half an hour ago, and I took my 11 year old neice to watch it with me. She wasnt scared at all, she actually laughed at Joker&#039;s entrance as well as his quirkier moments. If you ask me, Id say the parent is to blame for traumatizing to boy&lt;/p&gt;</description>
