Beckam and the Media
The media is determined to expose David Beckam's alleged extra-marital affair.
Now Beckam's fame and fortune could be threatened. His family's peace is disturbed.
What's the intent of the media? Is there malice at play? What a footballer do in his private life - is it the media's business?
The media has not drawn a line between a celebrity's private life and public life.
The situation reminds me of the documentary on piranha, that I saw on TV yesterday.
Just one slip down the water, and the school of piranhas will devoured it to its bones in seconds.
That's the way the media behave, and Beckam is their juiciest victim.
Marketing Tip of the Day
A local business started a golf buddy for rental for $350 a day. He said that he can offer golf tips and and can make intelligent conversations on anything under the sun. There were few enquires but no business so far.
Do you know why? Here's my advice, for free.
In China, they had started a similar business with roaring success. They recruit pretty girls who cannot play golf and send them for an intensive course in golf. What do men golfers want in a golf buddy? surely not another man! They want a pretty face for company.
So if he wants to continue his business, change the word 'golf buddy' to 'golf coach'.
Another BS of the Day
A commuter complaint to the newspaper that during one of the transit train ride, the lights were off and the aircon was off. It was one hot train ride to town. He would have wanted to press the emergency button to alert the driver. The reply from the authorities goes like this, the way I interprete it:
"If you press the emergency button, the train will stop at the next station and it takes a special key to reset it. And the train will be delayed and cause inconveniences to the passengers. So plse don't press it unless it is an emergency."
"By the way, if you need to alert the staff, you can alight from the the train and use the phones at the station".
Got it? I wish they can simply tell me, that I can just walk up to the driver's compartment, and knock on the door and say "Hello driver, you must have switch off the lights and aircon by accident!!!".
Or maybe the authorities should pump in another few more millions of dollars to upgrade their IT system so that it will alert the driver when it is switch off while the train is moving.
Some More B.S of the Day
A Japanese restaurant in China offers a novel food service. The food are laid on the naked body of lady who is laid on the table. In response to the criticism that this is a form of disrespect towards the women, the manager said: "The purpose of this promotion is not commercial, but to spread Japanese culture".
Now you know you can "taste Japanese culture". To them, it's not a disrespect towards women, but an appreciation, like an artist, of the beauty of the body form.
BTW, health authorities put a stop cos the the girls do not have a valid health certificates.
How come people who wants to marry do not need a certificate to certify they are fit for marriage.
No wonder so many marriages end in divorce.
