As of July 1, Johnny Depp, Paris Hilton, roast pork and Garfield will be banned from China – their images only, not the actual objects – because according to the Chinese government, they may be damaging to your moral health.

The Chinese government has just passed a new law that states all personal computers sold in the country from July 1 onwards must have special internet filter software installed that is specially designed to block pornographic and violent images from being downloaded.

Among these blocked images is an obnoxious cartoon cat, a jail-bait socialite, a dead pig and Captain Jack Sparrow.

While I fully support the banning of Paris Hilton’s face (and in some aspects, Garfield, too), no one should be forced to live without the option to stare at Johnny Depp. It’s almost criminal, really.
