News Axls of evil: Chinese Democracy
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 3:43 PM
A newspaper operated by China's ruling Communist Party doesn't like the new Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy.
The Associated Press:
In an article Monday headlined "American band releases album venomously attacking China," the Global Times said unidentified Chinese Internet users had described the album as part of a plot by some in the West to "grasp and control the world using democracy as a pawn."The album "turns its spear point on China," the article said.
This is great news.
If I ever find myself seated next to Chinese Communist Party hacks at a dinner party, I now know I can get conversation going by noting our mutual contempt for the music of Guns N' Roses.
