The Chinese government has reacted strongly to Google Chairman Eric Schmidt condemning their censorship
policies. In its official response, the Chinese government said, “We have allowed them to
make products that don’t require censorship. It is a huge market and we are
asking them to operate under a few restrictions. They don’t have to be decadent
capitalistic pigs about it.”
Defending the government’s censorship policy, a
spokesperson for the government said, “We only censor things that nobody needs
to know. We’re just like good parents who protect their children from harsh
realities. We want our people to be happy. Sometimes erasing a part of your
memory is a good thing. Haven’t you watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless
Mind?”
On being reminded that the movie actually
suggests that the reverse is true, he whispered, “Not in the version that hit
Chinese screens.”
