Enemy of the State

For a guy who doesn't do much, Homer Simpson sure has been causing a lot of trouble in China. So much so that he is now BANNED. Would love to say that this was due to political comments like this, but instead it's for something a lot more bizarre: The Simpsons stole our jeaarrbbs!!

Apparently the Chinese animation industry is in a bit of strife with 80% of Chinese kids saying that they hate domestic cartoons and love foreign ones. So, they have chosen to further consign their animation industry to the grave by reducing competition & therefore reducing pressure on the animation studios to foster creativity. Then again, maybe creativity is something the Chinese government would be best not encouraging....
