WE’RE ALL GOING DOWN

SPOILER: It’s actually a montage of one diver, not eleven. But it looks cool.

And it reminds me of this Denki Groove video (which I’ve posted before, but what the hell, eh?).

FOR ALL YR PENTACLE NEEDS

Spotted recently on Wang On Street in Fortress Hill:



It’s not what you think. They mainly just sell figurines and statuettes – none of them even remotely pagan or Wiccan. (Not to mention Satanic.)

I just like the idea of a shop named Pentacles, if only because anyone who tried that in most parts of the US would get a lot of crank calls and unsigned mail and be the subject of a lot of district council meetings, regardless of what the store actually sold.

Open for business,

ANOTHER MASTERPIECE OF LUSTY ACTION

Via Percy Trout:



I don’t know about you, but for me the deal-closer is the eyepatch. It really pulls the picture together.

THE WHOLE WORLD LOVES IT WHEN YOU DON’T GET DOWN

If you didn’t already know, Next Media – a media company based here in Hong Kong that also has operations in Taiwan – has been making the most of its NMA computer animation dept with short videos “explaining” some of the hot and important news topics in the West – like the Tiger Woods sex scandal, the Leno/Coco feud, the Al Gore Sex Poodle allegations and – more recently – the iPhone 4 Antenna Scandal.

Their latest topic [via nebris  and darksumomo ]: Sarah Palin’s possible 2012 presidential run.

Obviously it’s all very tongue-in-cheek (and it’s worth knowing Next Media is primarily in the tabloid business, which means they’ll insult anyone for a laugh, or post photos of them naked). But I think it’s worth noting that if Palin runs, and if she becomes Leader Of The Free World, this is the perception that the Free World already has of her, and will likely continue to have throughout her term(s).

Does it matter? Probably not to her or her supporters, many of whom were Bush supporters, and we know HE didn’t care what a bunch of stupid foreigners thought about him or his policies (unless they agreed with him, then fine). And it’s not like anyone in Hong Kong or Taiwan is a registered voter (though that didn’t stop Palin and her running mate John McCain from putting up a few signs in furniture stores here in HK during the 2008 campaign).

Still, I can’t help thinking that in these heady days of globalized media, maybe you can act like a down-home mama-grizzly cartoon at home and still get elected, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be taken seriously as a leader when you go abroad.

I'm just saying.

Think local act global,
