China Blocks Susan Boyle

While the rest of the world is talking about Susan Boyle, the Simon Cowell-slayer from Scotland we here in China are unable to see the video of her stunning performance on You Tube because the Chinese censors have blocked You Tube again. Is the CCP afraid that Chinese citizens will be inspired to get up and sing without the benefit of makeovers? Are they afraid that the laobaixing (ordinary people) will get ideas? Well yes, but not about striking a blow against ageism - rather they don't want their citizens to see a recent video on You Tube of some Tibetans being beaten by Chinese police. So the rest of us have to just read about Ms. Boyle.
