"We're sorry"  "Please forgive us"  "He knows not what he speaks"

G_D DAMN AMERICAN MILLIONAIRES apologizing to a communist nation because one of their own espoused AMERICAN virtues of FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY in a tweet.

This makes me sick.

This is becoming a big deal, our media is being censored by China just because American companies want that Chinese Yuan.

Video game giant Blizzard (World of Warcraft) just stepped in it in a big way:

Sometimes in subtle ways, the Top Gun sequel, for instance, they had to remove the Taiwanese flag from Tom Cruises flight jacket to meet Chinese censorship requirements:



Last week's episode of South Park was one of the best in years, check it out if you can "Band in China", they addressed this issue head on, and have subsequently been, er..... banned in China...

They released the following "apology":

I realize most of ya'll aren't the target audience for South Park, and this video will probably be removed soon, but if you don't have normal means to see the South Park China episode, here it is, at least for now, if you wanna see:

Burn Twitter to the ground to stop whackadoodles who think they are overly important from showing themselves up. (I know I teed it up so take the easy hit).

Too late.  Lucky I saw it when it originally aired.

Because our schools teach that a communist government provides everything they need. To bad they don't research and find out for themselves they are being taught a lie. I used to have a buddy the thaught communism was the next best thing to sliced bread. He knew how communism works and how the people suffer. His response to that was. The right person just hasn't been in charge yet.
