Air Con Morality
Those of you who buy a particular brand of air-con had better be sure you don’t do naughty things. That’s because this brand of air-con obviously have an important image to upkeep. These folks actually dropped their spokesman for having an affair. Or are they dropping him because his affair was exposed?
yao mo gao chor ah? What has Jack Neo’s affair got to do with air cons? Are people who buy that brand of air con so squeaky clean that they would be too disgusted to support the brand if it’s promoted by a celebrity who has cheated on his wife? Actually, he didn’t even bother to cheat. His wife knew about it all along. She just decided to close one eye and here comes a bunch of moralists telling everyone that he should neither be forgiven nor be allowed to promote energy-saving, easy to clean air cons.
I’m glad mine is a Fujitsu.
Now let’s talk about the women. Singapore has indeed come a long way. Our women have won us Olympic medals and fought their way to the summit of Everest. For the sake of diversity and forgetting Annabel Chong who is no longer in business, we now have our very own Monica Lewinsky. In fact, I think Wendy Chong has surpassed Monica Lewinsky in more ways than one.
OK. So Jack Neo was more careful than Bill Clinton. He made sure there weren’t any hairs left in his car. He didn’t give Wendy Chong a chance to keep a stained dress unwashed for 2 years. Even without DNA or potential YouTube video evidence, this young lady had dared to go public with their affair. Amazing.
Even more amazing were the young ladies who jumped on the bandwagon to claim that Jack Neo has made advances at them. Which attractive young lady hadn’t have horny guys making passes at them? Why didn’t they complain about the Ah Pek at the coffeshop who kept staring at the butts? Why didn’t they complain about the foreign worker on the crowded MRT who tried to elbow their breasts? What about the guys on MSN and Skype who keep asking them to turn on their webcams? Does it really make sense to complain about these folks and warn other girls who probably faced even more nuisances and harrassment than they ever did? They think our girls are so stupid that they need them to play martyr, expose their own affairs so that others can learn something from it? As if our pretty girls who are so used to unwelcome advances, don’t already know how to protect themselves.
But it’s Jack Neo! That makes all the difference. Luckily I’m not into show biz.
