Don't even think about singing 2 Live Crew in China. As part of a continued effort to crack down on "vulgarity and dissent," nearly 200 of the country's karaoke venues have installed the "National Karaoke Content Management System," which supervises the playlist and automatically alerts the police if a vulgar song is performed.
