Yeah, I spend a lot of time online and yet I still don't know the true meaning of "very yellow, very violent".

There was this legend that says a top military officer in China watched a military exercise, and at the end of it he commented "very good, very powerful". Sadly, a reporter happened to cover the event, and one photograph showed the said military officer looking through binoculars without removing its covers. And thus the phrase "very good, very powerful" spread.

"Very good, very powerful" (or "so good, so powerful") is a popular saying on MOP. "Very yellow, very violent" is part of something a 13 year-old girl said on television in a report about the dangers of the Internet. The girl claimed she accidentally opened a website that was "very yellow, very violent" ...i.e. porn. It was obviously propaganda on China TV and MOP people made lots of jokes, cartoons, etc. and even found the girl's name and details of her life and published them.

Anyway, as someone said, those phrases are part of pop culture in China today...at least for those people who spend large amounts of time online.

Really my accident, so you even understand China's network terms. You have been in China?

my god!

In some times, "very yellow, very violent" in terms of China's network, a more ironic is that, and art. More often than not, of course, art.

sorry

I do not know what "搞笑" is how the English expression.
