BANNED IN CHINA!


That's right, some 10 days after its release, Infallible Plankton has officially been banned in China, probably due to IP's overwhelming stupidity. Actually, all blogs hosted by blogspot (aka blogger.com) are inaccessible in China, part of The Party's ongoing effort to squelch personal expression. Granted, 90% of all blogs provide no edification whatsoever, and mine has driven 2 people to commit themselves already. Still, weak dudes . . . seriously weak. It's like that episode of The Simpsons where Lisa questions the logic of an educational film, and her teacher presses the "independent thought alert" button under her desk. Except instead of a button, it's mass censorship. The Great Firewall of China, as they say.

This is worse than when I got 2 months in a forced labour camp for showing the bus driver my balls!

btw, the pic is a propaganda poster from the Cultural Revolution. The translation of the slogan is:

Urgently Forge Ahead and Bravely Advance with Great Leader Chairman Mao

Note that you have to forge ahead before you advance. You don't want to get those two mixed-up, boy! But judging by the success of the Cultural Revolution, just about everyone did.

hahahaha. Well, at least you did a good job. I always used to go there to get those "XXL Chicken Burgers" which were really spicy and big.
