In the zone


A Beijing restaurant with an old-style-communist theme (wait staff in People’s Liberation Army uniforms etc) has been ordered by the local commerce bureau to remove a sign saying “liberation zone” pointing to the bathrooms. The bureau called the sign a “malicious satire detrimental to culture.”

By a curious coincidence, I’ve always thought of this blog as both a liberation zone and a malicious satire detrimental to culture. Does that mean this blog is also a bathroom sign?
