Johnny Depp Is Bad For Your Health!

At least in China!

A new Chinese government-mandated internet filter software deems pictures of Paris Hilton, Garfield, roast pork and Johnny Depp as harmful to your moral health!

Beijing ordered that all personal computers sold in China after July 1 must have the Green Dam software installed, which is designed to block pornographic and violent images.

How is roast pork violent or pornographic?!

Critics of the software fear that it will be used to extend censorship!

When the software is installed, it blocks harmless images such as the film poster for cartoon Garfield, dishes of flesh colored cooked pork and a close up of Johnny Depp's face.

Maybe they are scared that people will start feeling their cat Italian food, roast pork may satisfy the urge for human flesh and Johnny's face would get the ladies all riled up!

With the image filter off, searches with words like "nude" are blocked, but if you're on the hunt for adult websites you can find links to soft and hardcore porn.

Looks like someone need to go back to the drawing board!

Unfortunately, the software has been programmed to filter categories including "gay" and "illegal activities", which health activists fear will limit resources to sexual health and AIDS education.

Government critics worry the "illegal activities" section will cover political and social activities not approved by Beijing, which would further impede on the freedom of their citizens!

Shame!
