This is a couple days old now but I just came across this article in the NY times today. The Communist ruling party in China has, of course, always been trying to censor the internet, but has cracked down harder recently. The response to the increased censorship is this video about a "grass-mud horse." When written it easily passed the censors but when spoken apparently sounds like "fuck your mother."
Metaphysically it shows that no government can stop free speech if there is a strong enough desire for it, and that its existence relies on the people's willingness to exercise it not the government's willingness to allow it. But more physically it shows a bunch of alpacas, which is cool.
I don't know any Chinese so I don't know if the translations in this video are correct; if anyone does know let me know.
