60 mothers police the Internet in ‘Mom Jury’
Sixty mothers have been selected from a shortlist to join the « Mom Jury » in a bid to clean up the Internet and safeguard children from porn, Qianlong.com reported.
The program these volunteers joined up Friday in Beijing were part of a nationwide campaign that has already shut down more than 15,000 porn websites in 2009.
Their first day as Internet guardian angels started with a training session on adolescence education by the group’s organizer, Beijing Association of Online Media, whose program has already attracted a pool of over 200 mothers waiting to join the online tutelary corps.
The protective mothers will tip off Internet watchdog agencies about online indecency deemed harmful for adolescent Internet users, along with a jury proposal on countermeasures, and help monitor the enforcing process.
The jury board is open to new applications as backup members, according to the report.

Consider this: In the early nineties, a European businessman was thrown out of China when a package mailed from home (opened by ever-watchful customs agents) was found to contain a penis-shaped vibrator. The businessman was charged with the importation of an item spiritually polluting to the Chinese people, and was summarily given the boot.
So the fact that, in July 2007, you had Models parading in outfits made of condoms during a fashion show at the 4th China New Technologies & Products Expo in Beijing 2007 seems to indicate that morals have evolved.
Condoms of all shapes and sizes were used to make dresses, hats and even lollipops. Models fought through extravagant soap bubble special effects to show off tight-fitting wedding gowns , evening gowns, outrageous bikinis and other garments made entirely of condoms.
The show was held at the Fourth China Reproductive Health New Technologies and Products Expo and organized by China’s largest condom manufacturer, Guilin Latex Factory, to promote the use of condoms in the fight against HIV.
It also marked World Population Day, organized annually by the U.N. Population Fund.
And more recently 6000 people were wandering around the floor of the Shanghai International Exhibition Center visiting booths displaying the latest in dildos, vibrators, nipple clamps, blow up dolls, anal beads, pocket pussies and latex fetish gear is indeed noteworthy, not just to swingers & fetishists, but to those monitoring this tremendous change in China and in the views of her people (and no less importantly, her government) regarding sex and the myriad products that enhance sexual pleasure.
It’s a revolution that began with baby steps. In the latter half of the nineties, shops selling sexual aids began opening up in China’s larger cities. Unlike sex shops in the west, these places were almost clinical in appearance, more often than not run by frumpy older women dressed in white lab coats. But they did a booming business, and by the early part of the current decade, shops like these had spread from city to city, and even in the smaller towns, stores selling marital aids were popping up. Items that were once taboo had become big business in the middle kingdom, both for domestic use and export. So perhaps it’s not all that surprising that Shanghai – a Chinese city long associated with titillation – would be chosen to host China’s first sex toy expo.
But from the get-go, it was clear that the expo was hardly the delirious orgy that it might have been in Las Vegas or Amsterdam. The expo’s organizers, under the watchful eye of big brother, were taking no chances. No expo of this type would be complete without runway models displaying the latest in sexy lingerie, and it was here that the trepidation of organizers to toe a fine line was apparent; the models, thin, leggy Chinese women, sauntered down the runway to thumping beats, as they might have on any catwalk in the world. But beneath the sexy lingerie and latex, all were wearing cloth body suits, lest an errant nipple pop out and evoke lust from the gathered crowd.
« While Japan is still a better market for Sex products at present, because of the price difference and China’s high import duties, companies still see China as a potentially huge market – this expo is really just an opportunity for us to get a foot in the door. »
