Seems Chinese officials didn't like bones and skeletons in WOW... so they changed 'em.

My friend sent this to me the other day. What does it matter if they have flesh covering their bones? The majority of the people playing the game over there are just gold farmers.

China can do whatever they want. The government controls everything, including morality. Don't you feel even more lucky to live here?

China should force them to have their gold amount censored next time.
Doesn't surprise me. China is screwed up. I believe they also have a law where you can't play for more than 4 hours a day or something.
^^Do you mean play like play in a park or play games online?
All the communist countries are screwed up. I don't understand it, especially since communism itself does not demand it. Or does it?

That's not communism, its totalitarianism. Communism is a blanket term for political and economic systems that emphasize collectivism. China is Communist in name only by this point, anyway.
Soooo...they object to Skeletons, but the other stuff in WoW is just fine to them?
I don't think there is a single country on the face of the earth that can be or has been considered truely communist. According to Marx, Communism was a destination, to be reached through government control, reachable through (I beleive) Socialism. The only problem is, progress towards Communism was pretty dependant on the government leading their country towards it, and once people have power they generally are unwilling to give it up, so the whole idea is flawed from the begining.
If you don't like China, remember that it's partly our fault for giving them an economic out because we want cheap shit at Wal-Mart and not bankrupting them along with the soviets.
