Know that if you are among those overly excited for the Friends reunion, I am judging you. More so than I've ever judged the woke zoomers whining how "problematic" the show is when they accidentally see a rerun. But we're not here to talk about the show.

Because while the more basic among you were organizing watched parties, the Communist Chinese Government was taking a break from Chinese water torturing poor John Cena.
But only long enough to censor what was allowed on Chinese television. From Outkick:
Knowing the widespread interest in the sitcom's reunion special that dropped Thursday, Communist China stepped in to censor and cut the episode before its citizens could view it. Among the cuts were appearances by K-pop supergroup BTS, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga, and any cameos from LGBTQ Friends fans.
