Back To The Cultural Revolution!

In case you were starting to believe the baloney that China is becoming a more open society, consider this: Marty McFly is not welcome in Beijing. That's right, the apparatchiks at something called the State Administration of Radio Film and Television in China are not too cool with wacky ideas like time travel.

The folks from the original Nanny State discourage movie plots that contain, "fantasy, time-travel, random compilations of mythical stories, bizarre plots, absurd techniques, even propagating feudal superstitions, fatalism and reincarnation, ambiguous moral lessons, and a lack of positive thinking."

Holy Cultural Revolution Redux! I guess it's OK for them to time travel back to 1966!

And these are the guys who basically own us now, thanks to our fearless leaders in Washington. Makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over, doesn't it?
