Thats right, Americans and Canadians, this is content that wont be in your version of South Park. The humorous screen below takes the place of material censored from the European version of the title.

We recently reported on the censorship of the console versions of South Park: The Stick of Truth. The versions releasing this week in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia will (in varying degrees based on territory) be missing minigames and scenes related to alien anal probes.

Ubisoft commented that this was a "market decision." South Park: The Stick of Truth will be out tomorrow for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC.

Our TakeThis form of censorship acknowledgement is respectful of the audience. Its clear that South Park fans want this kind of humor, and giving them something amusing in place of content that might not be acceptable in those territories is better than simply leaving a hole where the material was.

I have seen some censorship in my 20-plus years as a journalist reporting from Australia and various countries in the Asia Pacific region.

But what I saw on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea has made me uneasy about press freedom in the Pacific and the Australian Government's approach to reporting on the detention centre.

Last week photographer Nick Moir and I were on the island to report on the aftermath of the riot at the detention centre, which left one asylum seeker dead and about 70 injured.

Within hours of arriving, staff from G4S, the private security company employed by the Australian Government to manage the centre, had manhandled Nick, confiscated his camera and forced him to delete photographs in order to censor news.

This occurred after Nick and I visited the island's hospital more than 14 kilometres from the detention centre and supposedly under the jurisdiction of the PNG Government.

We had gone to the hospital in order to check if appropriate procedures were being taken in relation to secure the body of Reza Berati.
