China Bans Ghosts From Internet, Pirated Videos
Along with rounding up all their retarded citizens to keep them from drooling and doing retarded things in front of Olympic visitors, the Chinese government is also forbidding anyone from watching anything having to do with ghosts or other horror-themed fiction. They are even banning the sale of ghosts in the pirated videos they sell on the street corners.
From smh.com.au here:
China has added ghosts, monsters and other things that go bump in the night to its list of banned video and audio content in an intensified crackdown ahead of the Beijing Olympics.
Offending content included “wronged spirits and violent ghosts, monsters, demons, and other inhuman portrayals, strange and supernatural storytelling for the sole purpose of seeking terror and horror.”
The new guidelines aim to “control and cleanse the negative effect these items have on society, and to prevent horror, violent, cruel publications from entering the market through official channels and to protect adolescents’ psychological health”.
China, where graphic, pirated sex and horror movies are available on most street corners, is keen to step up its control of the cultural arena ahead of the Beijing Olympics in August.
