chaosmachine Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 “The government says … TV dramas shouldn’t have characters that travel back in time and rewrite history. They say this goes against Chinese heritage,” lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehauntingsoul Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 wtf??? Seriously, someone needs to identify the key moment that this idea was put into motion, and go back in time and prevent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest analogue wings Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Western governments are seriously considering limiting the amount of smoking you can show on TV. Never mind if your TV show is set in the '40s... So yeah let's all feel smug about how backward and undemocratic China is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wall Bird Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 What is the bullshit in the second half of the article where they re-imagine popular time-travel stories without the time-travel elements? Funny or not, why is this on CNN? I would like to know when it became acceptable for creative writing, in this case functioning as entertainment, to be a part of what may be the country's biggest news network. All other gripes with CNN aside, the mix of creative writing with journalistic reporting is a slippery slope for them to be heading down. It's as though by including humor in their reporting that they're attempting to get a share of the same market as 'The Daily Show', a program which is predicated on making a mockery of network news.

Guest hahathhat Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 china is the borg cube. if we can upload a "sleep" command into their regeneration subsystem, it will trick the entire country into thinking it's time to sleep. the power subsystem will gradually feed back on itself, and china will explode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braintree Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 surprised Australia didn't beat them to it They're kicking themselves right now that they didn't think of it first. What is the bullshit in the second half of the article where they re-imagine popular time-travel stories without the time-travel elements? Funny or not, why is this on CNN?

It's as though by including humor in their reporting that they're attempting to get a share of the same market as 'The Daily Show', a program which is predicated on making a mockery of network news. Yeah, I felt that a bit disconcerting as well. They should just be reporting. It's not their job to be funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
