Given that this post is pointless and mundane, I didn't really know where to put it. But I thought our little community might find this amusing.

(Fogive me Mods, if I have sinned.)

The SmugMug site is not a site that is censored by the Chinese government, but Flikr is. :scratch

    The main reason that flikr.com is not available, is because it doesn't exist :) it's flickr.com

    I see that theonion.com, foxnews.com and drudgereport.com are all available. I guess the Chinese government isn't concerned with blocking news parody sites lol3.gif
