China Censors Kate Winslet’s 3D Boobs

Chinese audiences will not get the full Titanic 3D effect: Kate Winslet’s bare breasts in the 3D version of the movie are being censored in the censorship happy country.

“Considering the vivid 3D effects, we fear that viewers may reach out their hands for a touch, and thus interrupt other people’s viewing,” explained a widely cited statement from China’s State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television.

Kudos for the explanation, although, as Gawker points out, the quote could be a fake.

Nevertheless, the decision to dull the Winslet flash isn’t popular, notes MSNBC. “I’ve been waiting almost 15 years, and not for the 3D icebergs,” grumbled a Chinese fan on an Internet forum.

I feel your pain man.
