Mu Zimei: reviled, admired
• Laws and Politicians, Mostly Bad
China is officially an atheist nation but some of its actions are a good reminder of why we hope theocratic nincompoops come to power in America. Mu Zimei is a Chinese woman who wrote about her sex life in a magazine column and weblog.
Her celebrity, which exploded when she posted an explicit online account of her tryst with a Chinese rock star, first seemed to baffle government censors but now has drawn a familiar response. Her forthcoming book was banned last week. She has quit her magazine columnist job and halted her blog, or online diary. ...
The Chinese equivalent of Hardshell Baptist speaks his mind:
"I despise Mu Zimei!" one critic countered. Another added, "This kind of diary will only serve as an excuse for more people who want to live a wild sexual life."
Now what could be more terrifying than a wild sex life?
