And if bloggers don't want to be criticized, we shouldn't have comment sections. Don’t worry, chinese buddhist, I don’t think anything’s happened to Chris O’Brien.

Unless the coding on somebody's browser is off, they're indistinguishable from the real letters while sufficiently confusing to elude the Nanny. Just a suggestion.

I'm sure that if Chris O'Brien ever returns to <a href="http://www.beijingnewspeak.com" rel="nofollow">his blog</a> it will be because he misses your friendly words of wisdom. I wish you many more happy years of Internet browsing in Hong Kong where the Nanny does not tell you what you can or cannot read on any given day, including your own email. <a href="http://www.thechinadebate.org" rel="nofollow">Here's a site</a> I think you'll love (though Amnesty International might not thank me for sending you there). For us here on the mainland, however, it is still blocked. Yours deludely, B&W Cat @Jeremiah: You %$^&$%^!!!! You blocked my access to the comments moderation queue by writing the banned phrase T. Papers! I had to use a proxy just to be able to approve comments. (If I didn't hate smiley icons I'd add one here, but I do so I won't.) I've now changed your 'a's to '*'s so that this post isn't blocked in China. Ah, chinese buddhist, welcome to my humble abode.

It is the fourth one down in the third column. The article is a game-theoretic analysis of the Joker's use of the Prisoner's Dilemma in Batman: The Dark Knight. As such, the content is quite innocuous. The problem is that the author plugged in Kunming (evoking the bus exposions) and it is the combination of "Kunming Joker" or "Kunming Clown" that triggered off the filter. I have tested it at the original site (that is, this page is blocked but other pages are accessible over there). Clown show, indeed ... There is another offending link on the pate.
