China plans to monitor web activity through Clippy-style animated characters

Just because surfing the Chinese-government-censored web wasn't annoying enough, the Beijing Police announced yesterday that they plan to use animated characters to remind users to steer clear of illegal online content. And in another unimaginable extension of their control, the Party has also announced that reincarnation without authorization is also strictly prohibited.
