Hey. If it wasn't Dances with Smurfs then it was going to be something else. Sex. Work. A waffle that looks like Elvis. Whatever. That's non-news. They said he had a history of high [blood] pressure. Something like this can't have been totally unforeseen.

The blurb also comes from the China Times, making the story itself at least bias considering the recent Chinese boycotts of Avatar. I just wonder if there's some spin going on.

I haven't seen avatar yet... but why is china boycotting it?
Does it have something offense in it?

China tries to keep any attempt at inciting people to fight. Remember they have a person that goes against his own government to help the natives. Not just morality or enviornmental issues. They are so paranoid about their own people rebelling. It's been 21 years since the Tienamen Square Massacre (I watched the man go against the tank on TV) and China tries to make sure it's denied that the event existed. Also, Since big corporations exploit their land for resources they don't want their own people to fight to keep their land or fight to unionize because that will stop the flow of money coming in because the chinese realized with Hong Kong capitalism does work.They might say it's because of moral reasons or that it's to keep people from having heartattacks or seizures , but they are just blowing smoke. It's censorship, plain and simple.
