So while in Beijing this summer for the Olympics, I was not able to access one of my favorite sites(newgrounds) and it annoyed me. While stuff like Google,Youtube and even CNN was unblocked, Newgrounds was for some reason, blocked.
Well, that has now changed. China has finally unblocked Newgrounds and it has taken on a temporary(at least I think its temporary) communist overtone with a red theme and many China-themed mockery games. Have fun while its on, it may be the last time freedom of speech like this will be seen on Newgrounds!

I agree… here the irony:
The reason why Tom Fulp try to unblock Newgrounds. He try to have 1/10 of the original vistors in China to make him money. Now, he is losing the other 9/10, because of the communism overhaul. China for the lose.
