# oh that fucking ad
I really resent it.

It pretends AOL is interested in hearing your opinion.

And they have a say in how the internet is run.

# well they were brought out by google last week
(according to micro mart)

the adverts are pretty gay though

# Silly people
The worst part about that advert is that the bit where they say "everyone has freedom of speech" (or some such) is at the exact same time as they show footage of Tiananmen Square. You'd think at some stage in the creative process, someone would have noticed. But no

I remember when I tried to cross the border into Tibet from china.

Is B3ta going to start censoring itself to move into the Chinese market and take advantage of the ultra-cheap sweatshop produced CDC's?

# you can still access normal google.com from China
the difference is google.cn tells you when you are being censored.

That's better than the usual mysterious 404 error.

All the outrage about this news is complete bullshit.
