China Forces Websites To Register

Rodrigo Strauss writes "The Inquirer has the story that individual owners of websites and blogs must register with the government or face a shut-down. Apparently they will begin monitoring of all sites, both commercial and personal, beginning this month. Site owners have until the end of the month to register. The BBC has the story as well." From the BBC article: "'The internet has profited many people but it also has brought many problems, such as sex, violence and feudal superstitions and other harmful information that has seriously poisoned people's spirits,' said a statement on the MII website, explaining why the new rules were necessary."

    "So you see, the joke 'This dyslexic man walks into a bra...' is funny because the juxtaposition of the familiar 'walking into a bar' joke, of which there are countless variations, with the notion of a dyslexic man creates an interesting situation where the expected 'bar' reference is replaced with a reference to 'bra', clearly a dyslexic spelling of the word 'bar'. Furthermore, additional humor factor is added given that the notion of one walking into a women's undergarment would be considered amusing by many. Combine these two factors and hopefully I have successfully explained why the joke is funny while at the same time ruining said joke for those who got it without needing an in-your-face explanation."
