Has the headline got you saying, “Wtfbbqsauce” yet? Yes, China did ban time travel. The representation of time travel in film and television that is. The government does control everything that is broadcast so yea they can actually change what did or didn’t happen in the past or future; in film and tv. It seems the government has taken a disliking to the idea of distorting history.

Hang on to your Deloreans still!

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

China feels that the idea of script writers using time travel to distort plots could show a disrespect for their own history. The country’s State Administration for Radio, Film & Television stated that “The producers and writers are treating the serious history in a frivolous way, which should by no means be encouraged anymore.” Apparently the shows, “casually make up myths, have monstrous and weird plots, use absurd tactics, and even promote feudalism, superstition, fatalism and reincarnation.”

Paddy does not, we repeat, definitely does NOT belong in the category of Mac-head (yeh right!). She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo. see more
