The Search of "I'm Cold, I'm Hungry" was Banned in Weibo.com


The search of "I'm cold, I'm hungry" was banned in weibo.com, Chinese largest twitter-like SNS websites (above), as many netizens found lots of bureaucracy corruption by searching the words trying to help local residents in the earthquake zone, Sichuan Province.

Many local residents left messages online complaining that they were cold and hungry and did not receive any relief supplies promised by PM Li Keqiang. Soon netizens found the main reason why the relief supplies were delayed was because many local governmental officials used the supplies as props for TV news programs rather than sent them to real affected people. The angry netizens keep posting messages online criticizing the government that weibo.com soon decided to ban the search of the words "I'm cold, I'm hungry".

I doubt, can you make the people warm and full by banning the search of cold and hungry?
