Ghosts in the Computer
Posted by Adam Blickstein

Ghostbusters_logo China's pre-Olympic crackdown continues (after British athletes pledged not to "comment on any politically sensitive issues"), and now includes the bannishment of ghosts, spirits, apparitions, pixies, banshees and other paranormal entities from the internet.  Creatures that don't make the cut include:

"wronged spirits and violent ghosts, monsters, demons, and other inhuman portrayals, strange and supernatural storytelling for the sole purpose of seeking terror and horror"

With regulations like that, good thing Steven Spielberg has already pulled out of the Olympics...
