China’s thought police have begun censoring all mentions of rubber duckies after an unpatriotic wag uploaded a Photoshop combining it and the famed Tiananmen Square incident of 1989 to sinified Twitter knock-off Sina Weibo.
The 3rd and 4th of June mark the dates on which the People’s Liberation Army gloriously liberated Tiananmen Square of people in 1989, after student protests for an end to communist dictatorship became too inconvenient to allow to continue.
Any reference to the incident – along with any cunning euphemism for it – has long since been subject to almost instant deletion by China’s vast Internet censorship apparatus.
The giant rubber duck itself did not survive its latest trip to China, its recent visit to Hong Kong being cut short by a deliberate puncture:
This is sooo off topic and political in SanCom as usual…
Looks like Gintama.
Cummunism is evil
True reasons for the ban:
1. Racism – the ducks are yellow!
2. Duckfaces – everybody knows them, most people hate them… the Chinese show their dislike for duckfaces by banning them, the first to do so!
3. Size – those ducks are huge, Asian people aren’t. So that no Chinese develops an inferiority complex concerning their size, they ban ducks!
4. Copyright – The portrayed ducks cannot be shown as they are under copyright protection and the Chinese gov. wants to avoid legal conflicts!
5. Mothra+Godzilla – Mothra is awesome!…. well erm, giant ducks resemble those monsters = plagiarism = legal issues!
have fun adding more (don’t have to be true) lol
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFT China caring about copyright.
I wanted Scrambled egg, not Flat!
NOONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR GODDAMNED OPINION! NOONE! GET LOST!
I thought Rubber Duckies are made in China.
You do realize the protest at Tienanmen square were against corruption and capitalism being reintroduced and the cutting of benefits not against communism. But that would require doing a bit of research on the subject something you clearly haven’t done.
I do not support the reactionary corrupt CAPITALIST Chinese government but you are no better then them.
What is this? I don’t even…
China is f*cked up beyond believe, maybe they think those rubber ducky is a propaganda from capitalist government.
they’re not communist or capitalist,they’re imperialist.
呵呵!Maybe I should speak English,hehe!
They ARE capitalist. They haven’t bin communist sense the 70s. There government is infected with revisionist and reactionarys which is why its so fucked.
Rubber Duckie, you’re the one.
You make bath time lots of fun.
You beat me to it!! Are the Chinese going to censor Sesame Street now, too?
Sesame Street SHOULD BE Banned. XD
commies, commies everywhere
Like I give a flying duck
What did that poor duck did to them?
At least it didn’t experience death by a thousand cuts. One was enough.
fucking commie.
Hey China, the rubber ducky is completely innocent, are you censoring it because it is cute?
Any time I try to write fuck on my phone it tries to auto correct it as duck.
what the duck are you talking about?
duck you motherducker
and it looks like they are letting it float out to sea to kill animals…
trashy people gotta be trashy I guess
It’s been reinflated.
Why do the Chinese cyber police even bother.
The whole “communism is bullshit” thing is common knowledge even among Chinese people now.
Just to be clear, communism isn’t bullshit. What’s bullshit is that the Chinese call themselves communist.
They aren’t. They’re arguably more capitalist than any nation anywhere.
Unfortunately, not really.
Because that’s what they get paid for.
Bureaucracy!
AWESOME, finally China does something against the duck menace against children.
But showing people being beheaded on tv right on primetime news is alright then, eh?
Of course. It’s just wholesome family fun.
When has that been shown? Please enlighten me.
Within the last few weeks, woman being decapitated by elevator, shown on the news which is how they had the clip for here.
I see it all the time on the internet but i’ve never saw any news network show that sort of stuff on tv.
what did the duckie ever do to you you communist bastards 🙁
Funny, the duckie’s coming to my hometown in a week.
Also guess where that “censored” picture was uploaded from? (Hint not an English site)
Artefag classy as always : )
Because rubber duckies are fun, and fun is the invention of capitalist pigs.
They should have made the duck blood red instead of yellow. Yellow is kinda racist for them… i guess… XD
我就草泥马
我只能说看到中文真亲切啊
I want to cao ni ma!
speak english plz, if you want to stay on an english language website
It should paint blood red commie. 😛
Quack
Don`t say that!
Why don’t they just use light beams and steam to blur it out?
They’d have to import the light and steam from Japan.
WTH?! This is my avatar!
Unpatriotic duck is unpatriotic. Doesn’t explode.
it’s originally from the neverlands
Actually the Hong Kong one was built locally in case shit like this happened. There are several sculptures; the designer is from the Netherlands.
China must not want there own people to find out this shameful incident that badly lol over a Rubber Ducky.
They aren’t actually communist though… that’s just a facade.
They’re simply a State Capitalist society…
chinese should be extinct in this planet
Better yet, the entire human race should be extinct in this planet. XP
says the ignorant and racist 13-year-old who can’t understand the difference between the Chinese government and Chinese people.
You mean the people who’d rather run over a dying little girl’s body rather than call an ambulance or bring her to the hospital?
Yeah, never forgetting that.
One’s a tyrannical ruling body and the other is stupid enough to be pushed around by them. Happy?
Says anon hiding behind their computer screens…
I dont know about anon 8:28 but i have told people including chinese what he said you dont fight back you deserved to get fucked like a pussy. so fuck you.
@19:10
Said another anon.
@10:55
Especially easy when they’re behind their computer screen as an anon.
Another “bubbled” child who thinks the world has to adhere to their living standard. I hardly doubt this kid would say the same thing if they were born in less privileged countries.
Only the naive, gullible, ignorant and uneducated think this way. That or a troll.
It’s also easy to say ‘if you don’t fight back you deserve to die’ when you live in a country where you don’t need to fight back.
please upvote this comment
… It didn’t explode?????
Yet…
The duck and its creator are DUTCH, derp.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florentijn_Hofman
the duck wasn’t made in China bro
It happened in China, I think anything there has potential to explode.
So…crossing the border into China territory instantly makes anything a ticking time bomb?
When does our politicians visit China?
Finally someone got rid of that d@mned duck.
Politics aside…
Though they should real it in on shore man, just leaving it out there in the ocean, we already got a sea of garbage we don’t need that added to it china!
Stop polluting sh!t.
However, I always wondered what it would be like to ride on that thing.
Free rides anyone ? lol
To late now though, that thing has been around for some time now, I don’t know exactly how long but it seems a few years now.
Was totally tired of it though.
It gives me some ideas though lmao.
This isn’t my idea but, I wonder how many sex dolls are floating around out there.
I could see japan replacing all life rafts and jackets with sex dolls in the future.
“Ok you’re out of the water now you can let go of that thing lol”…
