Warning! This article contains Sensitive WordsPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, October 26, 2005 9:08 PM
![]() Massage Milk: "Cherish freedom, stay away from blogs "Sensitive words" are usually the names of political and religous movements and controversial things that might create instability in China if people say or write them too much. Dodgy things, words. Below is a rough translation of a blog post called Sensitive Words. The original post is on Massage Milk (按摩乳), which is perhaps better translated as Massage Breast. The author is Dai San Ge Biao (带三个表), which means 'Wears Three Watches' but is also a play on the words 'San Ge Dai Biao' (三个代表), which refer to Jiang Zemin's famously incomprehensible theory of the Three Represents. Thanks to Comrade N for sending the link, and this explanation:
The translation below is by your correspondent. If you spot any errors, please let me know (jeremy -at- danwei -dot- org).
