Brickbat: Unhealthy Viewing

'Glee' / Fox

The Chinese government has banned broadcast and Internet TV shows that show "the dark side of society." That includes depictions of gay characters, extramarital affairs, one night stands, smoking, drinking and reincarnation.

Putting police (or other government authorities) in a good light, however, is apparently not part of the dark part of socieyt.

Reincarnation is the dark side of society?

[Rich]

Oh, yes. Hell beings and hungry ghosts.

[Mickey Rat]

I niece because reincarnation is part of Buddhism, particularly the Tibetan flavor of it. An officially communist regime is anti-religion, who have thunk it?

[Agent Cooper]

People come back as capitalists!

[Fist of Etiquette]

Shortsighted. Now that the one child policy is eased, encouraging same-sex coupling might be the next great plan for population control.

[Groovus Maximus]

I see; a new Coital Revolution of sorts, eh Fist of Eugenics?

[straffinrun]

That's why the revolution won't be televised.

[Groovus Maximus]

There's piles of way to navigate the fissures of the Internet; Fistula of Nettiquette will show us the way.

[Adans smith]

So they want to ban fun?

[straffinrun]

Gays and reincarnation?. What goes around reaches around.

[The Fusionist]

So, nothing about communism may be broadcast?

[UnCivilServant]

No truths about communism may be broadcast

[Radioactive]

no broadcasts of any sort...why aren't you working?

At 6:35 AM, my workday hadn't started yet.

"and reincarnation"

LOL! It's almost worth the appalling lack of freedom just for the entertainment value of what shows up on ban lists, once the banners start actually making them.

[UnCivilServant]

Laughing at bans has been banned, we're going to have to place you under arrest. If you're lucky you will be permitted reeducation.

[Rich]

If you're lucky you will be permitted reeducation.

Exactly. Many are permitted The Ban Hammer.

[JohnTheRevelator]

I played the bassoon for four years. There is nothing left to teach me about reeds...

[UnCivilServant]

Only a fool thinks he has nothing to learn.

[Doctor Whom]

But when we write the freedom not to be offended into US law, it will be totally different. China just has the wrong Top! Men! in charge.

"That includes depictions of gay characters, extramarital affairs, one night stands, smoking, drinking and reincarnation."
One of these things is not like the other,
one of these things, doesn't belong.
Can you tell which thing is not like the other
By the end of this song?
