From C|Net:
[T]hese two virtual police officers have been created by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau to combat online pornography and other Web activity considered illicit. In what's just China's latest attempt to clamp down on the Internet, the animated beat officers will pop up ... to warn surfers on Chinese sites that they are being monitored, Reuters said. Beginning Saturday, they will appear every half hour on computer screens run by 13 major Beijing-based portals.
Anime porn is a thriving genre, so I predict that it will be a matter of only days before these cute little Chinese characters will be seen pleasuring each other in various uninhibited ways, on hundreds of sites, courtesy of a small army of animation-savvy hackers and pranksters.
Yummy. Oh, and can the CPC die yet?

Aren't they just darling?
And, hey don't worry if you do get busted. Chinese law enforcement has become so civilized, that today when they put a bullet in your head, they don't charge the cost of the cartridge to your family....

Hey Martin,
Its not so much that the Chinese authorities are more civilized now its just that they have to do something with the 1.3 trillion in U.S. dollars with which they are currently inundated.
