A WOMAN WAS SO MIFFED that her favourite online game (we hope it wasn't Quake) was shut down for three days because of the Chinese disaster that she created a video rant and posted it.

Gao Qianhui, 21, posted the video which showed her sitting inside what appears to be an Internet cafe. After introducing herself as a "common young girl" from Liaoning province in northeastern China, Gao moaned that she had no interest in coverage of the earthquake.

She said only a few people died and, face it, China didn't have shortage of people. What was more important was that her favourite game was down for three days out of respect for the dead.

Unfortunately for Qianhui, her post was in China and so coppers swooped and she was immediately carted off to jail.

The Xinhua News Agency said the case was highlighted by Blogging for China, although no one was sure which law Qianhua had broken.

However anyone waving the free speech card might find themselves without much in the way of support.

The Xinhua story carried on Netease alone had more than 17,000 comments mostly calling for her to be lynched.

Probably a World of Warcraft player, but still its a stupid thing to say on a video..
