lol
I saw this coming, but still. Talk about over-control of information. I feel for all those people in China who cant use the net properly. How much must life suck without facebook.
also, the albums actually not bad
|
| |
the album is excellent actually.
|
| |
"unidentified Chinese Internet users had described the album as part of a plot by some in the West to "grasp and control the world using democracy as a pawn."
Aren't the Chinese people fooled into believing that they're in a representative democracy? And also, if the U.S wanted to take over the world, they'd use those Disney acts, like Miley Cyrus and the virgin brothers or whatever they're called, propaganda in their music would alter the minds of like half of a future generation! crazy shit!

No.

Who didn't see this coming

Censorship aside (which I think is just as retarded as everyone else), I wish Western journalists would attain a level of intelligence to look at interpretations from an Asian-historical perspective instead of a Western one, and implying that the Western interpretation is the correct one by default. It's just being retarded on another level.

There's facebook in China. Just not democracy. And not very much industrial music.
|
| |
Communism sucks.
|
| |
The Chinese gave this album a 1/5

Let's all whine about China in our safe internet corner while not doing anything actually useful.
|
| |
you're*
|
| |
The Goverment totally sucks, you motherfucker
|
| |
dammit, China
China really needs to loosen up
I'm serious, and before anybody calls me misguided, I've been to China several times (I've lived there, and i've felt the propaganda, and i've been sucked into it before)

What's worse is that the lyrical content of the album has nothing to do with China. It's purely metaphorical...
I hope China issues the statement:
"Why Axl hate China? We ruv Ahppetite for Destruction. Srash is most exerrent."

angelofdeath: that was a tad racy. The censorhsip of this album in china isn't even the tip of the iceberg people... that's what scares me the most.
and it makes me F***in mad that they got away with inderage gymnasts at the olympics. sorry, tangent.
and furthermore, (is it just me?) but how does the title "Chinese Democracy" offend, in ANY WAY, China itself? (given that someone said there wasn't any jabs at china in the album)
I mean, omg we used their name without their permission! *gasp* therefore axl is being derrogatory towards china!
Gimme a break... there's absolutley no reason for them to be whiny.
anyone agree?
|
| |
and hey, Itachi1452, do you know how many other albums china has banned? just curious; you said you lived there for a while
|
| |
As someone on another site said...China has had 14 years to protest this title.
|
| |
it wasn't being marketed to china 14 years ago
|
| |
Who gives a fuck, the album is shit anyway.
viva la motherfucking democracy
|
| |
Harden up China-
Are you scared people's heads will burst from un sensored media
|
| |
orwell anyone? haha
|
| |
It doesn't matter how many albums China has banned (though I'm not sure the exact number)
the fact that China has just banned this one album is enough. i lived in china when i was little, and spent some time there, and after coming to the u.s. (despite being born here), i realized that the media was extremely biased.
