China censors Obama's inauguration address.

Quote from: AP

BEIJING – China censored its translation of President Barack Obama's inauguration speech, removing references to communism and dissent, and quickly halted state television's live broadcast of the address when Cold War-era animosities were mentioned.

...

The audio quickly faded out from Obama's speech and cameras cut back to the studio anchor, who seemed flustered for a second before turning to ask a U.S.-based CCTV reporter what challenges the president faces in turning around the economy.

...

"There are breakaways even when broadcasting China's own meetings," he said. "Americans might care a lot about the presidential inauguration, but Chinese may not be very interested."

The last comment reflects Gallup's finding that only 9% of those polled in China believed the election would make a difference. With this truncated delivery of information, why would they ever believe otherwise?

Well they're right. I really don't expect Obama's election to make much of a difference. In China.

I mean unless he goes over there personally and kicks the ass of every person in Beijing.

I know a lot of people here would actually believe he'd do that.

Guess the message wasn't clear enough the first time, so it bears repeating: fuck around with your food/drug standards, and you will die.

Killing two men and sparing the woman? What kind of China is that?

...wait, aren't the majority of Chinese horribly lactose intolerant?

EDIT: Turns out yes, but lactose intolerance doesn't affect infants.

Dooly · « **Reply #28 on:** January 22, 2009, 05:39:04 PM »

Wouldn't they get lactose intolerant from drinking shoddy milk all their lives?

Spaco · « **Reply #29 on:** January 23, 2009, 12:45:04 AM »

Milk is not commonly consumed in China, as dairy in general doesn't fit with Chinese culinary traditions. It has become increasingly popular in the last five to ten years, however, and is considered a luxury food.

So right now milk is China's fugu.

DEATH VANS!!!

This one was floating around quite a bit today. Why? (I am not saing Kashan is to blame, this turned up in an office email too.) The article is almost three freaking years old.

It's like the X-Seed 4000 building project everyone linked to a few months ago like it was news, despite it being more than ten years old.

I think the death van should just run over criminals. that'd be awesome.

Clearly what we need in China is a great arena, where the condemned bring their own, personally customized Death Vans to compete for a pardon against the government supported and outfitted Executioners team.

I would think a bullet to the head would be less painful than lethal injection.
