Ever read "Dream of the Red Chamber"? That's one hot piece of lit.

It'd be nice to have a porn game based on classic literature.

I doubt it'd be the first.

The Chinese are feigning offended sensibilities...
Right. Like they've never heard of:

Thelma Does Louise
Edward Penishands
On Golden Blonde
and my personal fav. Romancing the Bone

[blackcat]

it should be no surprise to the chinese that the japanese have

a. Copied something
b. Had no concern for another nations feelings
c. Made a "game" out of sexual slavery

are they suprised?

(Aside from our differences on the other thread)

Those are great titles. Did Chinese people really make porn videos with those titles?

No worries.
I think my feelings on the subject are best illustrated by a scene from Citizen X, which is loosely based on Soviet-era mass murderer of 53 women and kids Andrei Chikatilo:

Local apparachniks are loathe to publicize the case - "There are no serial killers in the Soviet state... It is a decadent, Western phenomenon." Despite some 10-20 victims, when the lead detective goes home, the lead story on the TV news is on crime...related to drugs in America.

Those are great titles. Did Chinese people really make porn videos with those titles?

No, but as far as I understand they are actual Western pornos.

The whole affair's rather amusing since here in China porn - in any form - is illegal.

Man those Chinese get pissed about anything....when their governement lets them.

Wasn't Romancing the Bone a sequel to Tool of the Nile?:-D

I knew a Chinese woman at university (just before Tian An Men) who once said there were no gay people in China. I told her to think about that. With a population of over a billion how couldn't there be any? It was funny because I could kind of see in her face as she realized how that couldn't make sense. Probably official propaganda had told her there were none.

Please allow me to get a bit off subject again. I just wanted to continue the story about that woman I knew at school.
Although I was an undergrad a history professor from Hong Kong let me into his graduate seminar, probably because he wanted to avoid doing an independent study with me.
There were two Americans and four PRC students in the class. As I got to be friends with the woman (who had been a tour guide in Gui-ling) I found out that a lot of hanky panky was going on behind the scenes.
At that time China was a lot poorer and the prof thought that the grad students owed him a great debt for bringing them to America. He told my friend that if she became his concubine (OK, lover) she wouldn't have to do the class assignments. She turned him down but she was pretty sure the other PRC woman in the class had her term paper written by him.
Later I heard from another professor that he had invested university money into his own business in China.
He was the only one on the campus that could teach Chinese history and he recruited people like my friend to go to the US. He seemed to thing he was the last emperor in his little Middle Kingdom.
What he didn't count on was that my friend was tough as nails. Her Dad had been a cadre on the Long March. She took him to the univeristy equivalent of a court system. Other women he had harassed also came forward. But because he had tenure they could only get him to resign.
If you think I have gone too far off topic, let me know and I will try to control myself.

Maybe they want to make sure this a big paper trail so that the money can't just disappear. The temptation to pocket money must be great when it is worth so much more there. It must be annoying to have to go through all that.
