This is not a joke. Chinese government censors recently issued new guidelines that effectively ban TV shows that feature time travel.
Why would they ever do something so ridiculous? Well, apparently they’re upset over an influx of movies and television shows where Chinese citizens travel back in time to an ideal period before the Communist takeover.
"The time-travel drama is becoming a hot theme for TV and films," said authorities, "but its content and the exaggerated performance style are questionable. Many stories are totally made-up and are made to strain for an effect of novelty. The producers and writers are treating the serious history in a frivolous way, which should by no means be encouraged anymore."
So sadly, the people of China won’t get to enjoy Bill and Ted’s 3 when it hits theatres. Unless they travel back in time before China issued this stupid ban.
