      Heard about this yesterday.  And you thought it was just the Chinese who had a great firewall.

      So much for democracy boys and girls.

      I understand the point of it, but to censor a picture when it's a point of reference to what they're writing about is surely, as quoted, 'detrimental to the discussion.'
