Chinese gamer girl detained over YouTubed remarks regarding earthquake victims

shocotan athena

So let’s say your country has a huge natural disaster, like an earthquake, that kills thousands and thousands of your citizens. Your fairly repressive government mandates a three-day mourning period, which includes a few hours of your favorite games being offline. Do you:

A) Contemplate life and realize you’re lucky to be alive?

B) Quietly find something else to do during the brief time you’re away from your MMORPG?

C) Make a video on YouTube mocking the dead, including phrases like, “How many of you died? It was just a few. China has so many people, anyway.”

If you answered “C”, then the Chinese police might arrest you, because they can. Just a note.

By the way, the photo in the post is not Chinese. She’s Japanese.

if someone use some dirty words on 911 victims and make video on YouTube, what do you think?
And if you are victim’s family then what do you think?

You beat me to it… i was going to say something along this lines…

Because i remember the outrage many people expressed with the Musiq dogtag mp3 player ads.

There are some things you shouldn’t make fun of. I think the Chinese authorities did the right thing.
