China Cracks Down on Internet Cafes

China has increased restrictions on internet game cafes. They've clamped down on anti-government slogans or displays and are now barring teenagers from them completely. Gamasutra reports: "'With the development of the Internet, there has been some harmful and illegal content,' said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao. 'The Chinese government has adopted some management measures so as to limit the immoral and harmful content, especially for young people.' Chinese regulation of Internet content has become controversial in recent weeks due to popular search engine Google's acquiescence to Chinese censorship of its results in exchange for official license to operate in the country."

Get a little emotional over shit on the internet, do we?

I think it's a bit ridiculous to get upset about racial slurs, especially ones as neutral-sounding as chinaman.

Hell, as a white man, I couldn't even tell you what a honky is. I sure don't care if someone uses it to refer to me.
