Bazinga: China bans The Big Bang Theory from streaming sites - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Kljunas;44669368]Yes because people in this thread are completely serious and legitimately want the show to be banned. [/QUOTE] Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, to be perfectly honest.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;44669356]No the female characters never moved past caricatures[/QUOTE] I'm not sure anyone in this show even got as far as 'caricature'. Bazinga.

[QUOTE=draugur;44666857]Oh no, whatever will the Chinese people do without this source of facts and unbiased world news? Oh wait, it's a stupid as all fuck entertainment program. Censorship on this level isn't even an issue for anyone except the like, two fans the show has in the world. Had this been the Chinese government blocking news sources, then you are fully right to cry censorship, but The Big Bang Theory isn't a news source.[/QUOTE] So if someone banned something you happen to like, you'd be perfectly okay with it as long as their reason for it is "Because it's fucking stupid and I don't like it XD" ? How would you react if the U.S suddenly decided to ban, oh, I don't know, pornography, perhaps? With the reason "It's gross" ? Of course it would be worse of them to censore something like news-sources (although they're, to some extent, already doing this), but that's not my point, my point is that I really don't understand your reasoning behind you approving X thing getting banned, with the entire reason behind that being you disliking X.

finally, the one thing to convince me to move to China immediately. zungguzungguguzungguzeng [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUjIl4_DYiU[/media]

[QUOTE=Garry #2;44669962]I feel like I am the only one on FP who actually enjoys this show[/QUOTE] I admit that I liked the first two seasons, but then it started to just get stale, boring, and repetitive.

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;44669898]Hearing the same bazinga joke for the 50th time is even funnier than the first five times.[/QUOTE] bolivia

I wouldn't give a shit about the show if people weren't so overely obsessed with it bat mitzvah

Eh, I'm indifferent to the show, but it doesn't really deserve to be banned for the people who do like it. gestapo

I'd be confused as to why they decided to ban something harmless but otherwise I'd just use a VPN if I REALLY wanted to watch pornography. Same with how some countries access TPB via VPN since it is banned by their governments. I'm not saying that censorship is good or anything, just that it REALLY isn't THAT big of an issue. I mean, it COULD be worse, and it probably will be for the Chinese people here soon, but a few shows being banned on netflix isn't the point to cry human rights abuse.

It feels good to know I'm the one person on Facepunch who enjoys this television program.

Now I know where to go in the near future bejinga

I always imagine that this show is the brainchild of some guy who has never done anything geeky/nerdy in his life and wouldn't dare be caught doing something like that in the first place. Lumbago.

[QUOTE=draugur;44670470]You're a hipster in the wrong direction.[/QUOTE] Dude I think you've made it clear you don't like this show

i hold a negative opinion of this show baptism

ok baspingo

it is a scientific sitcom which when compared to other sitcoms of a similar format is often considered of poorer quality to those sitcoms of similar format it is compared to and there are sitcoms of poorer quality than the scientific sitcom which are often overlooked because there are no pop-cultural trends based on the general population's contempt of those sitcoms unlike the scientific sitcom mandingo

ITT everyone confirming that people that hate BBT are more annoying than fans of the show.

didn't facepunch like it at once? badonkadonk

I saw This Ain't The Big Bang Theory: A XXX Porn Parody. It was slightly better in terms of comedy.

I myself enjoy the show.

Just shows that the Chinese government is afraid of losing influence and power. Baspungo.

This was funny when I first saw it :D [video=youtube;fqa48tqNOj8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqa48tqNOj8[/video]

Now while it's a bad show the Chinese censorship stuff is getting a bit out of hand. pizzapeperoni

My family loves this show, for some reason. Biggie Smalls
