Hahaha, uhmmm so apparently I’m a flesh-eating disease?

You Scored as Necrotizing Fasciitis. You are inherently destructive, born to break stuff. The sound of children crying as their toys meet a tragic end brings you orgasmic joy and you invented the idea of taking candy from babies. You are a choosy kinda person, though, not bringing your special type of love to just anyone–only the truly deserving are visited by you. When you come ’round, though, the results are stupefying and when you leave, no one doubts your capacity for chaos. What infectious disease are you?

Yup, and in case you haven’t figured it out, this is yet another method for my procrastination. Ugh. Somebody stop me?

Okay, and this is actually relevant to my paper on China. I have to decide whether or not China is heading toward democracy, and one of the NY Times articles I’m reading is about rebellion to censorship in China. Apparently, the video “grass-mud horses” is extremely subversive in China and speaks out against such censorship. The Chinese government prohibits its people from accessing a lot of things on the Internet by banning profane words or statements that oppose government choices and decisions. This video was a clever way to get around censorship because it used seemingly innocent words that actually sounded like (and pardon my profane language here) “fuck your mom hard” in Chinese. Clever, eh? The government can’t really ban it because the words are actually commonly used, everyday words. I thought I’d post about it a) because there are llama-lookalikes in it (and you all know I love llamas) and b) it’s interesting and relevant to my paper…which makes procrastinating slightly more acceptable…?
