It very much amuses me that CCTV would so unabashedly use such a very idealized Romanticist era Western concept – ie, the innocence of little children to broadcast its propaganda. But then, anyone who has ever been on politicized TV of any sort would tell you to watch out. In some ways it could be argued that it is just as bad here in Australia, kids on so-called “current affairs” shows getting taken for the commercial ride. It’s all about who pays, and who gets, in the end. To throw the ball back, quoting Marx: “Religion”…substitute the words “morality beat-ups on TV” or “state issued ideology” if you like, they work just as well in many ways….
“Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world…[it] is the people’s opium.” As is CCTV and the CCP.
Dear dear China…would that you just liberated yourself. How strong you could be.

王太华和王旭东先生签署颁布的56号令，严重违反中华人民共和国宪法，侵犯人权。应立即引咎辞职。公诉机关有权对二人立案审查，并提起公诉。建议二人主动投案，看看和检察院是否能达成和解，免于追究。
赵化勇，梁建增，石东梅，张淳，创造“新闻”，严重违反了新闻职业道德操守，还违反了未成年人保护法，其情节比纸包子案有过之而无不及，其结果严重扰乱了社会次序。建议司法机构立马展开调查，提起公诉，追究其责任。
网友对***小同学展开人肉搜索令的，使用语言暴力攻击的，请祈祷，自责。我声明，我也曾在网络上也使用词语“脑残”称呼***小同学。如果其家人和同事要追究我的法律责任的，请和本人联系。本人意图和你们达成和解。和解不成，你们有权诉致法院，本人愿意承担对应的法律责任。请在本博客留言和本人联系。

Thanks for putting up a summary, an interesting read.

As a foreigner, blaming the “state media” feels a bit obvious here but I can’t resist;

This feels like a stunt to defend censorship, especially considering the latest changes made to the online video regulations.

An innocent little girl, exposed to “very yellow, very violent” content;

“What a great way to take focus off all the other stuff except for porn we’re censoring! Who can argue with us censoring after this?! Anyone who argues with censorship wants innocent little schoolgirls to watch porn!”

Nice layup CCTV. I’m glad it backfired on them.

Charles Liu;

The incident we’re looking at here is, maybe, caused by propaganda/awful journalism produced by _the government_.

Star wars kid, Craigslist sex ads etc are online extensions on bullying that goes on in schools across the world anyway. And lets be honest here, the “mob mentality” and “internet witch hunts” that Wang & Chang enjoys so much are _slightly_ worse in China than anywhere else. Ask Chinabounder ;)

A manipulative media + a manipulated interviewee = a manipulated news + a lot of inappropriate jokes and harangues on it + some mature reflections.

Almost similar to what it is in Taiwan. Viewer’s opinion can be manipulated…., including the sensitive issue of nationality…. People in both the sides of Taiwan Strait need time to grow, to be more independent of media’s opinion manipulation….

PS. Yes to Shi, ‘yellow’ in Chinese slang means horny or erotic, in a relatively derogative way.

At least little girls aren’t put up to promote “throw baby from incubator” propaganda, unlike us in America:

And does cyber stalking over trivia happens in America? A girl was staked in myspace to suicide by the mother who didn’t what her boy to date this girl. A real estate agent was sent to mental ward when competitor posted “free sex” ad on Craigslist. The star war light saber kid in Youtube was sent in hiding.

Freedom comes with responsibility. This kind of problem is cross cultural.

westerners won’t understand the meaning “yellow” in your explanation, well actually ,you should translate it into “harny”or “erotic”……

I feel sorry for the little girl.
This is not new – this is just too CCTV, if I may use the word “CCTV” as an adjective.

From my perspective of view, most netizens, including quite some on mop.com, were really just being harsh with this kind of “news” that CCTV can pull out, instead of the little girl herself.

It is strangely hilarious when you see pictures with Bruce Lee or even Uma Thurman(with the Kill Bill costume) and the catch phrase in them; yet indeed inapropriate when quite some pictures have been direct mockery against the girl.

CCTV, the head teacher at the school and the girl’s father if he knew it before the interview was taken, were to blame.
