'very yellow very violent') is a Chinese internet meme that originated from a news report on China Central Television's flagship Xinwen Lianbo program, allegedly quoting a schoolgirl describing a web page.
This Chinese phrase, which combines the intensive adverb hen 很 "very; quite; much" with huang 黄 "yellow" (denoting huángsè 黃色 "yellow colored" or "sexy; erotic; obscene; pornographic") and bàolì 暴力 "violence; force", follows the form of very good very mighty, a snowclone for Internet slang popularized earlier that year.
[1] Internet users then began to ridicule and parody the quote and question the program's credibility, believing that it would be unlikely for a person of that age to find a web page to be both erotic and violent at the same time.
[11] Some critics also emerged, expressing discontent about the Internet outcry and many parodies related to the report, some using her real name, as stated by a letter written by an individual claiming to be the girl's father.
[13][14] Wang Xiaofeng, chief writer of cultural department Lifeweek, claimed that CCTV and the users lack required conviction for protecting minors.
