As the focus of this particular blog entry is looking back on things that happened a year ago, I was reminded of something ridiculous that I heard this morning on HLN.

China has banned the following topics on tv/movies: elements of "fantasy, time-travel, random compilations of mythical stories, bizarre plots, absurd techniques, even propagating feudal superstitions, fatalism and reincarnation, ambiguous moral lessons, and a lack of positive thinking."

Adios, Back to the Future Parts I, II, and III!  If they're banning programming with a lack of positive thinking, what about the news?  Surely their news programs don't just consist of cute stories of a deer and a duck who are best friends or children who raise money to help the elderly....I would guess there's not a lot said about the tragic number of newborn baby girls who are dropped off on orphanage steps.
