My original post, "US calls for measures against Internet porn" was a satire. The entire point was that, by changing a few words in the "China calls for measures against Internet porn" story, a statement by a totalitarian communist regime could be made to look like official US policy. Obviously, the project was a success, as people are taking it seriously in spite of the fact that it had telltale clues, and that the original source was revealed. The exact changes were: BEIJING -> WASHINGTON DC China -> The US State Council -> Clinton administration's State Council Communist Party -> Republican Party Xinhua news agency -> the Associated Press personal computers in China -> modems in the US That's it. None of the actual words quoted from the statement were changed. Frightening, isn't it?
