Let me give you more on the on-going psudo-model[sic] show at the book fair. Yesterday, or the day before, whatever, Chrissie tried licking icecream in front of the cameras. Somehow, she couldn't control her tongue and the icecream was all over her body. The crowd, mostly teenage boys, went wild. Meanwhile her 'books' were flying off at the rate of 8000 copies a day. To put things in perspective, they couldn't sell 80 books about Roman History in the history of selling Roman History books in the local book fairs. There were also reports that many teenage boys, having gone to the book fair, came back home and then their parents found them locked up in their room for up to 10 hours[editor's note: most certainly spoof generated by the bros from hkgolden, but there is no doubt things of this nature actually happened]. It was not just boys. There was one 'uncle' I know of, who having visited the book fair, gone on a plane and locked himself up in a hotel room in a European capital for hours. Who knows what he is doing there?There you have it. This pseudo-model event promises it won't end until it sucks dry every teenager's or certain uncle's man juice.

It is pathetic that people is criticizing the promotion of sexy photo books of young models. Just act of hypocracy. Sexy photo books of young models are no worst than the apple daily or other media in HK in the sense that they position themselve to please the market and made some money. Long live capitalism!!
ReplyDeleteI agree. My only complaint was that the teenage boys had no respect for their elders. When Chrissie was licking her vanilla icecream, everybody wanted to have a look, they almost shoved me to the ground. That could be dangerous.
ReplyDeleteAn 'uncle'
the Uncle in Europe didn't buy the "books", Uncle "Obama" bought the book, and reading with one hand
ReplyDeleteI have a new theory. That guy, whoever he is, suddenly discovered that he was the oldest guy in the crowd, didn't summon enough courage to buy the book.
