'My breasts, my show' and Craigslist clone shut down for obscenityPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, June 22, 2010 3:15 PM
From a Sina report published today:
What was the vulgar content? 1. Zhantai.com was a clone of Craigslist, and just like Craigslist, it included large numbers of advertisements for paid sexual services. 2. Mop.com was running a competition called "My breasts, my show" (我胸尽我秀) in which users were encouraged to submit photos of their breasts, to be judged by senior members of the Mop.com forums. Winners were to be awarded prizes comprising Mop.com's virtual currency. Zhantai is a relatively small player, Mop.com is one of the most popular forum websites amongst Chinese Internet users under the age of 30, and well known for its unruly participants.

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
