media - TV bans dyed hair and Cantonese

The beautiful thing of media regulators in China is that they are fully out of touch with reality. Yesterday the State Administration of TV, Radio and Film issued orders that tells anchor persons to refrain from colored hair, fancy dresses and Cantonese accents.
The English language edition is already very funny but my Chinese friends keep on repeating their translation of the Chinese text of the latest order. Also imported programs have to be checked for 'Chinese characteristics'. What we see here is not only a dinosaur, it is a suicidal dinosaur.
