 I agree with you there, Reece. The smart way to take over the world is with 
money, not guns. It won't surprise me if our great-grandkids wake up in 
SerenityLand, speaking English with odd bits of Chinese tossed in.

 China's rush toward the future is moving steadily in reverse. As for them 
banning horror movies, I can see that. Life in China itself is a horror movie, 
unless you're one of the privileged.

Bans Horror Movies?
 
 By Alan Stanley Blair
 
 There has been some interesting news about the state of affairs in China 
 with regards to horror movies over the last few months, notably the 
 banning of Will Smith’s apocalyptic drama “I 
Am Legend.” Well, it looks 
 like that was only the beginning as China has now banned all horror 
 movies altogether.
 
 Apparently, the country is planning on cleaning up its image a little 
 before the Beijing Olympics which means horror has now been outlawed. 
 Horror Movies is reporting that Producers have been granted only tree 
 weeks to locate offensive material and turn it in to the authorities.
 
 What is classed as offensive? Anything featuring “wronged 
spirits and 
 violent ghosts, monsters, demons, and other inhuman portrayals, strange 
 and supernatural storytelling for the sole purpose of seeking terror and 
 horror,” the administration said.
 
 New entertainment guidelines are being introduced as a way to 
“control 
 and cleanse the negative effect these items have on society, and to 
 prevent horror, violent, cruel publications from entering the market 
 through official channels and to protect adolescents’ 
psychological health.”
 
 In December when news first hit about the release of “I Am 
Legend” in 
 the country, sources close to the China Film Group – 
essentially the 
 Chinese equivalent to Hollywood – insisted that the film was 
banned not 
 because of any scary or questionable content, but because it is an 
 American movie filmed in America. The organization announced that they 
 were implementing a full ban on all American movies in the country in 
 order to create a bigger market for projects produced by the China Film 
 Group.
