Deep News Analysis Not For The Faint Of Heart

This is the only news analysis regarding the recent Photogate that's worth reading. On the backlash of being good looking and articulate in English (in a mostly Cantonese speaking metropolitan society), my commenter Vincent has this to say:

I just learned that Mr Chen has some Portugese blood. His grandfather or great grandfather was Portugese. His success with women had prompted me to study this case as a social phenomenom (sic). In the immediate future, I think there will be a backlash against all those English speaking, tall good-looking guys with a touch of Western blood. Middle-aged, balding, full-blooded Cantonese guys like vl, wp and sk are going to enjoy a rebound.

You know a comment this good deserves a separate post in the baddest blog.

Let there be hope. May the middle-aged-shit-faced balding guy be the new Casanova. As long as there are still silly and naive girls out there, there are hopes.

  1. all those great bonus "album" with Next Mag were sold out within a few hours, for those special taste serious collectors, were definitely disappointed. Thanks for vl2008, let me know that EDC with some western blood, even Wikipedia didn't point it out

  2. I agree with you guys without reservation.

    But Vincent has overlooked one crucial thing. On top of everything else, Mr Chen is also incredibly rich.

    He's bragged about having HK$80 million in his bank accounts. He's claimed he's only a wee bit short of his target, i.e. a personal net worth of US$20 million. After achieving that goal of his, he said he'd get married and retire as a singer.

    Rumour has it that at least Bo Bo tried to force herself on him because he's a wealthy man.

    If he was a newspaper boy or a delivery man, it would be another story.

    I therefore venture to premise Vincent's proposition on the assumption that those middle-aged Cantonese baldies must be rich in order to benefit from the rebound.

    That immediately leaves me out of the equation.

  3. ss: No separate post for you. Come on, $ is like the wild card, the joker. No look, you have $, you win; dump as fuck, you have $, you win; small dick but loaded with $, you win ... so on and so forth. But if we still find silly and naive, you still stand a chance to score big.

  4. Naïve and silly they might be; yet they're not blind or lazy-eyed.
