"The signatories should actively disseminate healthy, beneficial audio-visual programs meeting socialist moral norms," reads the text of the pact drafted by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

"Decadent, backward thoughts and culture must be boycotted by all," according to a copy of the pact posted on the administration's Web site (www.sarft.gov.cn). Content related to gambling and "horror" were also targeted."

No this isn't Focus on the Family, this is communist China. The government is setting up an online database where a government watchdog will "recommended "excellent" audio-visual programs and a list of illegal content that must be avoided." I bet anything on democracy or worker rights would be considered not part of the socialist norms. But hey, what can we say. This administration has shut off access to online poker, a activity that is supported by over 60% of the population. Sad.
