China censors the word..

China, one of the worlds superpowers, also one of the most criticized governments in the world for it's use of censorship. The country has blocked access to Twitter, Facebook, and many other social media websites- probably why you never see too many fb comments from Chinese people- but some people are saying the country has gone too far recently. 

China just censored the word censor.. This is pretty ridiculous, but honestly, understandable. If you are a country who likes to extinguish people's right to say whatever they like, you better make it so they don't have a word to use in criticism of you. 

At a recent award ceremony, a Chinese director went on stage and gave a very gutsy speech: 

  1. “In the past 20 years, every China director faced a great torment...and that torment is [bleep].”
  2. That [bleep] covers the word 'censorship'.

    Doubt he will be making very many movies anymore...
