Just as soon as the Guardian reported China’s first sex-theme museum had opened for business, it was closed again.

The theme park was, apparrently, a way for China to tackle taboos but today’s Guardian reports that it has fallen foul of the wrecker’s ball before it even opened, after officials deemed it an “evil” influence.

Developers billed the attraction in Chongqing as tasteful and socially beneficial. But senior officials conducted an emergency tour of Love Land last weekend after it attracted worldwide publicity, state media reported today.

“The park was above board, so why was it pulled down? How can a country get powerful if it doesn’t open its mind?”
