lesbian kiss ;

what?! fine because of a kiss?

"SINGAPORE: Cable television operator Starhub Cable Vision (SCV) has been fined S$10,000 for airing a commercial of a Mandarin pop music video which showed two women kissing.

The commercial, which was to promote a song by pop singer Olivia Yan, was aired on MTV Mandarin Channel on 26 and 28 November 2007.

The Media Development Authority (MDA) said in a statement on its website that "romanticised scenes of two girls kissing were shown and it portrayed the relationship as acceptable".

The statement added that the scenes breached TV advertising guidelines, which disallow advertisements that condone homosexuality.

The MDA has also consulted the Advisory Committee for Chinese Programmes, and the committee agreed that the commercial had promoted lesbianism as acceptable and romantic, especially when shown together with the lyrics featured. - CNA/vm "

interests ;

recently i've been reading up on some news! (new and improved patsy! hahahahaha!) the china unrest is something i'm quite interested in.

" Against the backdrop of tight control of the foreign media's movement in and near Tibet, Chinese citizens voiced anger at what they considered unfair reporting by overseas media.

Chinese students abroad set up a website, www.anti-cnn.com, to collect evidence of "one-sided and untrue" foreign reporting, blasting "the Western Goebbels' Nazi media," according to the China Daily, in reference to German dictator Hitler's propaganda minister.

"In their reporting about the March unrest in Tibet, the western media have once again showed their ugly and evil true face to the people of the world," the website said. >"
