Man protests outside Chinese embassy in London by 'erotically' eating a banana

Chinese censorship laws once again made news headlines last week when the Communist government banned the live streaming of people eating fruits -- especially bananas.

According to the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, the country's "cyber-ecology" needs serious rehabilitating.

Naturally, people weren't too pleased with the Chinese censors. In an attempt to ridicule the new law, YouTuber Phil Watson decided to stage a protest at the doorstep of the Chinese embassy in London on Sunday.

The novelty underwear store owner filmed himself "erotically" eating a banana coated in chocolate sauce and posted the vid online. While we're pretty sure his protest wouldn't sway the Chinese censors, we give Watson top marks for giving us the giggles.
