- illDecree, on 07/01/2009, -0/+5this is the second time in my life i've heard "paris hilton" "bad" "porn" and "mental health" in the same sentence. this time it's not referring to the 'sex tape' she made
- Shaggy3, on 07/01/2009, -0/+3They must not have read the synopsis of the movie Blow.
- xsecretfiles, on 07/01/2009, -0/+3Kitty pr0n?

- MeatMountain, on 07/01/2009, -1/+4Filters out Johnny Depp and Paris Hilton? Where can I get one?
- Stinger911, on 07/01/2009, -0/+3Oh, cool. You mean I can buy a computer that already has a rootkit pre-installed? Where do I sign up?!
Seriously though, this is unacceptable. Good thing the U.S. has done a reasonable job of shutting down the Hilary Clintons, the Joe Liebermans, and the Jack Thompsons, or this could have been our fate. - christoast, on 07/01/2009, -0/+3And China is a atheistic nation, this can only tell us that retardation runs deep in the people of earth.
WHEN WILL YOU HUMANS LEARN? - tHr333, on 07/01/2009, -0/+3I heard someone tried to thwart it by posting a blown up picture of MaoZeDong and Hu Jintao and they were both blocked, which caused some commotion in China.
It just searches for skin tones, and when a certain image is saturated with enough % of a the pinkish (or yellowish :S) hue, it censors the picture.
Kind of stupid. - orthodoxDrew, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2they don't hate mondays?
- DforSpiD, on 07/01/2009, -1/+3Removing Perez Hilton would be far more useful...
- trav6, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2I would hate to live in China.
- zyklon, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1The first internet filter that we can all love!
- inactive, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Sounds like a good thing to me.
- beaversprite, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Really? http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/04/world/asia/04iht ...
I have read several other articles this week alone about the rise of religion in China. The government has blatantly stated that they embrace spirituality (although in practice this is not true). And in summary : WTF? - FeloniusMonkey, on 07/01/2009, -1/+2Filters won't work anyway... nothing made in China ever does.
- m4csrgh3yk3v, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Jon is clearly gay.
- caramba421, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Hey, as long as their backward-ass technology policy keeps them behind us economically, I'm all for it!
- Rudegar, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1the year of the cat is soooo much last year ?
- solid12345, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1I heard you can't even order a delivery of cream of sum yung guy, what is happening to China?!
- vinod1978, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Well - it is China... What they are trying to pass in Germany scares me more.
- python56, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Wait.
Garfield? - Piha, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1What do Johnny Depp, Garfield, Paris Hilton and roast pork have in common? In China, the answer is that a new government-mandated Internet filter rates:
"some pictures of all four of them as bad for your moral health. "
Hmm pictures of ALL four of them, doing what exactly?
I bet some pictures of all four of them are definately bad for your moral health lol. Depp, Garfield, Hilton and roast pork sex tapes would be pretty twisted no doubt.
But the cool thing for those of us who don't live in China, is that because a "Depp, Garfield, Hilton and roast pork sex tape" doesn't break any real laws (as wierd as it would be) it would be ok for us to view it. Now you could say that makes us morally questionable, I say we are not walking stereotypes and each of us is unique. - pkon, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Since when should any kind of government have any say what you are allowed to view on the internet? Please leave the morality police patrol to the individuals where they can decide on what they can view. If I don't want to see any of those characters then I simply won't click on the damn link. I just really hope that North American countries never adopt such idiotic policies.
- SirCharge, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1The actual title of the edited pictures were:
Depp Porks Garfield at Hilton!
That's why they were blocked. - graemee, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1They don't want to see your Johnny?
- SirCharge, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1Wonder how long it will take til the first blue tinted porn site is created.
Smurf porn is sweet. - phantoap, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Officially the government is atheist, but there exist party members who are Catholic of all things. Actually, Catholicism is one of the government approved religions. NO JOKE. It's ridiculous to assume that all or even most Chinese are atheist.
Even those who identify themselves as not believing in a religion, when pressed, often turn out to believe in god or heaven. The status quo is different. In the US, most consider it a virtue to have faith, so 80% or so of people will say they believe even though half of them probably aren't very active Christians. In China, it's not cool to be religious or to have faith, so most people will say they don't believe even though many do believe in God, Buddhism, or Chinese traditional religious supersititons/rituals.
I've run into a LOT of Chinese in the mainland in big cities who are Catholic or other Christian denomination.
Personally, I don't believe in any of that junk. - CamZak, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Out of boredom, I decided to install it on a a VM, I haven't had the skintone filtering kick in, however word blocking seems a bit unusual, with blocking of words like 'adult' (no looking at adult stem cell), 'bomb', 'terror', 'torture', 'maim'
It doesn't like some websites (such as myplay.com), however rotten.com loads.
However 'leprosy', 'dismemberment','mutilation' aren't blocked. The filter can be easily bypassed by using one of the many ubiquitos 'myspace proxy' sites. In all, there's no real use for it except for having your pc ready to become part a botnet. - thizzlebot, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1China ***** sucks.
- Moveon, on 07/02/2009, -0/+1I think Garfield is naked,is it right?
- SirCharge, on 07/03/2009, -0/+1Garfield is hawt.
- christoast, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1good post
- BotchaMcCoola, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1I think we all know that celebrity worship is bad for our moral health. We don't need any central government censors reminding us.
- kkiran, on 07/01/2009, -1/+1Just out of curiosity, why does China ban some stuff on the internet? I hope they atleast adopt communo-democracy! Give people the right to information please!
- phantoap, on 07/01/2009, -0/+0Yeah, it seems strange, but it's totally true. I think the Chinese government realizes that religion can be use to control the masses and has been used effectively by many historical Chinese dynasties. But only if it's religion practiced on their terms, which is why they have government approved versions of Catholicism (priests trained by the government) and others, but outright ban and oppress believers in "cults" like Falun Gong and Protestantism. That way, the people get their (controlled) religion and the gov't gets to spread its propaganda. It's win-win!
I've met educated Chinese who told me they were trying to get religion, but weren't sure what to choose. The motivation for believing something was that religion can "help make society more stable". I do believe that's ingrained in the Chinese political culture: stability at all costs. - LQHelium, on 07/01/2009, -0/+0moral health, WTF?
- danydral, on 07/01/2009, -0/+0when did johny depp became the next big pornstar?
