Ai Weiwei does Gangnam style – video banned in China
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/video/2012/oct/24/ai-weiwei-gangnam-style-videohttp://www.newsdaily.com/stories/bre89o0h1-us-china-aiweiwei-gangnam/
Ai, 55, called the video "Caonima". "Caonima" means "grass mud horse" but the word, which sounds like a very crude insult, has also been taken on by Chinese Internet users, and by Ai himself, and featured in postings mocking the government's online controls. "We only filmed for a bit over 10 minutes but we used a whole day to edit, and eventually put it online at midnight," Ai told Reuters.
