Green Dam Girl

What kind of stupid software is that? It took $40M RMB to develop and was originally scheduled to be pre-installed on all PCs (Macs?) sold in China starting from July 1st (though the deadline was pushed back indefinitely...) Basically, it's a censorship program filtering "harmful materials" such as pornography (including pink color pigs and Mao Zedong?) and politically sensitive issues (June 4th, Falungong, etc) "in order to build a green, healthy and harmonious online environment..." Well, it turned out that it's just a piece of cake to crack it and ironically became a great inspiration fueling Chinese ACG culture...
