Talking

No pr0n please, we're Chinese


BEIJING - China's police ministry on Sunday handed out rewards of up to $240 to people who reported pornographic Web sites in a campaign to stamp out online smut, the government said.

Some 445 people have been arrested and 1,125 Web sites shut down with the help of public tips since July, the official Xinhua News Agency reported, citing the Ministry of Public Security.

The ministry handed out rewards of $60 to $240, Xinhua said, but it didn't say how many people received them.

China encourages Internet use for education and business but bans sexually oriented content on its own Web sites and tries to block access to foreign sites deemed pornographic or subversive.

The online crackdown is part of a sweeping official morality campaign launched this year on orders from communist leaders.

Television stations, video game makers and other suppliers of popular culture have been ordered to reduce or eliminate violent or sexually oriented content.

We have 280 million people here in America. Does it mean we don't need pr0n? You be the judge.

I don't admire them for it. What people do in their homes is none of our business. If it was people under the age of 18 doing nudity then yes they do need to be locked up. I admit sometimes I watch porn on tv sometimes... but its my choice and some of those flims are actually funny!
