Fuckin' Classy

Ok I'm a huge fan of freedom of speech, but damn people have a little decency, plus freedom is irrelevant in this case because its China. So what happened? Well a magazine was recently closed in China because it "seriously violated propaganda discipline and went against social morals" and the report constituted an "extremely evil social influence." Ok first off I'm glad I don't live in a country where I can get in trouble for violating propaganda discipline, although Bill O'Reilly will shut off your mic for that. So what was the extremely evil social influence? They took photo's of scantily clad models on top of the rubble from the earthquake..... yeah ok thats pretty twisted. I'm not sure how I would respond to this if I was a person in power and this was done in the US, then again in the US I could picture Larry Flint shooting porn on ruble after a natural disaster, but parlay people's disgust by then donating the profits to the victims. Eh, maybe not. But generally we're ok with having a twisted mind so long as your heart is in the right place, or if you fake it well.
