Hoax just the tip of the iceberg

Not all of the Titanic 3D made it to Chinese screens, as the scene where Jack draws a picture of the naked Rose, was cut by China's State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

An online message purporting to be from the SARFT said the scene was cut for fears that viewers may reach out towards Rose due to the vivid 3D effects, and thus interrupt others and cause potential conflicts.

The "statement" soon spread like wildfire through China's social networks and media at home and abroad picked up on it, even Titanic director James Cameron mentioned it when he appeared on the US talk show The Colbert Report.
