    Yet another interesting story coming out of China. It shows the government's desire to control the population's views and minds, but on the other hand, the interesting thing is that when the fake is discovered, rather than shutting down that internet forum, arresting the instigators and bringing down the curtain, they instead not only admitted it, but apologized publicly and fired the guy. Not your typical course of action for a controlling government interested in keeping the population perfectly under its thumb.

    - what Government doesn't want to do that ?
    Oh, it's called leading in the polls - honest
    And it's "shaping" the views through spin and not controlling them, really.

    "Mr. Liu didn't answer calls to his cellphone"... most likely because he was executed for embarrassing the Government. And the editor too I bet.

    And thats why it's just the best idea EVER to have the Olympics in China.

    Nope, no sarcasm there at all. Never even heard of Sarcasm. What is it, is it a dish of some sorts? It sounds Italian.
