Many sites are blocked in China from blogspot to wikipedia…even YouTube most of the time. However one has to ask why oh why do they block the lolcats?
What are the lolcats? Its a collection of animal pictures, mostly cats, with some funny caption written in the style of how one might imagine cats and kittens speaking (if they were slightly brain damaged). The site is essentially non-political and is more family friendly than Miramax.
Although a popular Internet Meme, the Lolcats on their I can haz cheesburger? site is about as edgy as safety scissors….or maybe that is its true subversive charm.
This may also be China’s attempt to cut down on the traffic of Kitty Porn.
Frank, great to see you blogging again.
How about some more information re the gaming sector in China? I know that you are busy with a startup now; it would be great to hear more of your insights on the sector.
