The “fear of touch” quote regarding the censored nudity scenes in Titanic 3D, which was believed to be from a reliable news source at the time of writing the blog post, was verified as a joke by an offended Chinese netizen.

While Jack was able to draw a portrait of Rose’s naked body in 1997, he will only end up with a neck-and-above close-up in 2012. The move by China’s State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is to prevent viewers from wanting to extend their hands for a touch.
