Nanny clenches again.
As I mentioned, I visited Talk Talk China (TTC) for the first and last time on the day it shut down. I happened to visit a blog called Sunny Side Up where it was announced that there was going to be a successor to TTC called sinocidal. I visited the site before anything had happened, but on subsequent visits had no luck getting onto it. I assumed it was because the site was still being sorted, but when I checked SSU today, I learnt that sinocidal had already been blocked.
I’ve been to sinocidal via a proxy server where I found that there were pictures of some poor rabbit stuck in a cage sitting on top of an aircon unit somewhere in Beijing. State secret, thy name is rabbit. There was also a satirical piece of advice about things foreign bosses just can’t get enough of from Chinese employees. I note that the original banner, which had those dippy Chinese Olympic mascots disposing of themselves in various ways, has gone. One of the comments on sinocidal suggests that the site was blocked because of the banner.
27.11.06 – I see I’m getting quite a few hits because of a link posted on China Law Blog. I’ve edited the final sentence above slightly to clarify it because the suggestion about the banner came from sinocidal not me. Yeah, all right, so I’m being a pedantic git again. Mind you, this time Nanny seems to have clenched faster than a stellar mass collapsing into a singularity as far as the block goes.
