Latest World of Warcraft Expansion Blocked In China

The Opposable Thumbs blog reports that World of Warcraft's most recent expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, is not being allowed into the Chinese market. The Escapist brings further details, saying, "According to an insider, two specific shortcomings included the presence of skeleton characters and a 'city raid.' Nor did the submitted version contain the starting area for the game's new Death Knight class." The Chinese version of World of Warcraft has been modified in the past to remove skeletons and zombies.

    Previous administration: We are doing _____ to protect the US security.

    Current administration: We are doing _____ to build up the economy and create jobs.

    Fill in the blanks with what ever you want. Either way it really looks like abuse of power by both administrations. Too bad most people do not see that.
