No, much more esoteric than that. Those phrases are associated with China's BBS culture, especially the forum called MOP. The MOP forum is getting a bad reputation for "Internet violence"...using the Internet to hunt down and publicize the names & details of people whom the forum members think deserve public punishment/humiliation. "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.
