I have no idea what this says

I liked it though so I took a picture of it.

What I do know is this. If it said "Come along to the Chinese Communist Party Are Poofaces Workshop. We need between 5 and 30 people.Nibbles will be served." then  two things would have happened:-
a) it wouldn't still be there for me to take a rather snazzy picture of.
and 2) the workshop would have been raided, the workshoppers arrested and the nibbles probably dashed to the floor in the inevitable scuffle.

Yes my one reader, today you are alarmed to find me exploring the dumbfounding world of totalitarian regimes. While I've been out here in Shanghai, people throughout the Middle East have been trying to throw off the yoke of totalitarian regimes and the Chinese government are worried that it will spread here. Here it's called the Jasmine Revolution and there have been tentative online attempts to organise protest here in Shanghai and also Beijing.  Censorship is increasing noticeably. For example one of the only four channels that broadcast in English out here is CNN, the American owned news network. I have been watching and whenever a report comes on that mentions protests in China, the feed is cut and the screen goes blank. This happened to a report that was about to mention the censorship in China. They censored the censorship.
There was another story that a bloke in China was chatting to his girlfriend in the States. She was banging on about something (as they often do - probably kittens or knitting) and he said "The lady doth protest too much" he repeated the same Shakesperian phrase later in the conversation (probably recognising that she was talking so much she hadn't heard him first time round) and at the second mention of the word "protest" the line was cut off. No word of a lie.
And the Chinese people I work with say they often hear people talking or a clicking on the line when they have a good old chat on the phone.
And Google are cross because they are getting fed up with Gmail being looked at all the time. This post is being posted via a server in Taiwan so I presume it won't be censored but you never know.

Anyhoo these last two posts have been a little heavy haven't they? I promise to post something superficial and irrelevant next time. Possibly with a picture of a little old dog sitting in the sun. In fact definitely.
