On Wednesday Chinese dissident and artist Ai Weiwei posted a cover of the popular Korean pop song Gangnam Style called Caonima Style. Caonima translates as grass mud horse which is depicted as an alpaca like creature created by Chinese Internet users as a protest against censorship by the Chinese government. The word caonima also sounds very similar to a strong curse word that is forbidden from use on social networking sites. The video was removed by the Chinese government on Thursday.
