Youtube上的一个草泥马(Grass Mud Horse)视频，已经席卷中国，草泥马(Grass Mud Horse)已经成了某种现象，文化的，传媒的，社会的，政治的。草泥马(Grass Mud Horse)更是和国际接轨，登上了美国著名在线新闻杂志纽约时报(NYtimes). 如果你还不知道草泥马是什么意思，又晕乎Grass Mud Horse什么意思，赶快点此视频补课。

“A YouTube children’s song about the beast has drawn nearly 1.4 million viewers. A grass-mud horse cartoon has logged a quarter million more views. A nature documentary on its habits attracted 180,000 more. Stores are selling grass-mud horse dolls. Chinese intellectuals are writing treatises on the grass-mud horse’s social importance. The story of the grass-mud horse’s struggle against the evil river crab has spread far and wide across the Chinese online community.”…..”The grass-mud horse is an example of something that, in China’s authoritarian system”…..”the grass-mud horse has become an icon of resistance to censorship.”

草泥马(Grass Mud Horse)有望打败河蟹(river crab)。文中提到我朝对于网络敏感词汇的强大过滤天网，提到了年初互联网低俗风波，提到了牛博网事件，并多次提到了censorship这么一个字眼。

Censorship是指“国家政府部门或指定机构对报刊、影视等媒体以及有些书籍、信件等进行审查的制度或行为，对某些不利于政权巩固、社会安定或过于黄色的东西不准发行，或加以删改的一些措施。 西方国家对此比较反感，认为干涉言论自由，不够民主。”

Grass Mud Horse Censorship!
