karutamral 647 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) BEIJING (AP) — At the end of December, a popular television series chronicling China’s most famous empress suddenly went on a four-day hiatus. When it returned on New Year’s Day, the low-cut necklines and squeezed bosoms had vanished. Instead, the screen was filled with close-up shots showing only the heads of the female characters in the period piece, which depicts the seventh-century Tang Dynasty, an era when a woman’s beauty was defined partly by plumpness. No one has claimed responsibility for the awkward cropping, but it is widely believed to be the work of the country’s prudish censors. The changes have drawn a wave of mockery from the public fed up with ham-handed censorship. Chinese have lit up social media with complaints and jokes, with some posting cropped photos of celebrities and drawings that add in the missing cleavages to show the absurdity of the cuts. ... “It’s absurd that the authorities should make such a ruling when a few old cadres are upset with ‘The Empress of China,’†he said. “It’s time we put powers in a cage so there will be sensible decision-making and management to prevent such a farce from happening again.†Source: http://www.koreatimesus.com/china-bans-bosoms-in-popular-tv-show/ Edited January 13, 2015 by karutamral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlayingSeohyun 6,688 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 That show is really good, why bother cutting out insubstantial chests anyways, particularly when it actually is historically accurate. Bingbing slays in it though, visually not through acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
