Comments on Baidu porn, Part II
I just got similar results by typing the term "磨豆腐" while searching Baidu images for President Hu Jintao. (Navigate to the 12th set of 磨豆腐 results if you are over the age of 18.)
Good post. More people in the West should know this. China's anti-porn campaign in the internet is not (entirely) political, but is indeed (significantly) anti-porn. It's funny to see how most western reports emphasized the (possible) political component of the campaign, while ignore the (obvious) anti-porn component almost alltogether.

Oh, that's just nasty.
It's just google takes out porn images, while baidu didn't care. (even search "porn" in google image don't yield naked pictures) Given how supposedly porn is >50% of the entire internet, I not surprised if porn come on every single search item at least once.
Google gives you the option to filter your searches - SafeSearch Off, On, or Moderate (options vary depending on your language and interface). Baidu doesn't do that because, like the film industry, it's supposed to be suitable for the entire population of China, both young and old. Film (电影), by the way, returns some pretty racy "body art" photos.
