Google Eyed

China, you've always had my respect. The only super power left in the world that could match, and even surpass, US forces in number and ability. A people thoroughly, and proudly, communist. A proud member of the eugenics club, limiting parents to only 2 children, and even allowing them to discard the unwanted females to ensure a more productive and levelheaded male dominated society. That was all cool.

Well, you just lost your groove, compadre. I was willing to accept a lot of illogical acts of government censorship from China, but to censor Google? The world's largest and most indepth search engine? Well, you just crossed a line. The line that dictates the freedom of human beings to be allowed to look up anything they want, be it hardcore scatological S&M, or how to bake some wholesome apple pie. Censoring movies and books over there was okay by my standards, because really, who the hell understands that garble you call a language? And what's with your words, man? Not even a decent alphabet to work with. So yeah, that wasn't that big of a deal. Running over some student protestors with tanks was within the bounds of reason, too. I mean, they were kinda scrawny so it was bound to happen that one of the drivers failed to see them.

But attacking the internet itself is wrong. By limiting the hits that google.cn displays will have a very personal effect for me. Why, if it is censored, how will you people possibly find my blog? To deprive your people of the joys of factual discourse featuring an unbendible personality such as I is a kin to allowing females to have prominent seats within your government, China! What was that? They already do? Dear lord, it's already too late.

China, I disown you. You no longer deserve to be related to my bloodline in anyway whatsoever. So go ahead, China, suck my right nut. Oh, and Google? You can suck the other one for bowing to their tyrannical demands. Zhang Ziyi, you can have the pole.

Kurt Russell only deals with Little China.

They didn't ban it, just censored it to ensure that only sites deemed appropriate by the government can turn up through Google search.
