2046 [Warning: This video contains adult language.] Grass-Mud Horse is phonetically equivalent to “F*ck Your Mother!” in Chinese.

Censored bloggers often say their missing posts have been "harmonized" — a term came from President Hu Jintao's urging for a harmonious society. The song is a metaphor of the power struggle over Internet expression.
