China Blanks Nobel Peace Prize Searches 326
1 a bee writes "CNN is reporting that China is attempting to block all communication regarding Peace prize winner Liu Xiaobo. Even texting is affected: 'Text-messaging on mobile phones is not immune from censors, either. A Shanghai-based netizen, @littley, tweeted his unfortunate experience: "My SIM card just got de-activated, turning my iPhone to an iPod touch after I texted my dad about Liu Xiaobo winning the Nobel Peace Prize."' Might as well add Slashdot to the censored list."
Further coverage is available from NBC.

China is just trying to protect it's citizens against the terrorist and child porn. Sheesh.
Due to either improper grammar or ambiguous phrasing, that almost sounds like China is trying to protects its citizens against terrorist porn and child porn.
Wait, did I just give people a new super-fear thing from which they need to protect the children by combining terrorism and porn? OH SHIIIIIIII-

NADA enters stage right, catching RASHID at a makeshift workbench covered in sections of pipe, wires, and indeterminate objects.
NADA: Rashid!! What are you doing with that pipe?!?
RASHID looks calmly at NADA -- perhaps even seductively.
RASHID: Do not worry, I am expert with all kinds of pipe.
NADA: Oh, Rashid!
NADA pulls on her sleeve, briefly exposing her wrist before..

I didn't see any liberals defending or downplaying the evil regime of George W Bush. Yet, I did see Margret Thatcher defending and downplaying the evil regime of Pinochet.
Looks like your observation was naive in the extreme.

(Because we've had just as many terrorists of domestic extraction as we've had foreign ones. Turns out there's nuts willing to blow themselves up for a cause in every country...)

Heh, that was my thought too... I couldn't figure out why the Chinese government wouldn't want people to find out that Liu Xiaobo wasn't George W. Bush. I mean, surely, they knew that already.
