The fallout from the battle of the boobs being waged by sex kittens Shushu (舒舒) and Yaoyao (瑤瑤), real name Kuo Shu-yao (郭書瑤), continues this week with Next Magazine (壹周刊) entering into extended speculation about how Shushu, real name Tseng
Ya-ling (曾雅鈴), obtained her 32E bazookas.
The National Communications Commission (NCC) had voiced its disapproval when the pair gave a comprehensive rundown of their cha-chas on national television.
Seeing as young men across the country seem to have achieved unrivalled levels of excitement from watching Shushu get to grips with a pneumatic drill while wearing a sexy workman’s outfit and low-slung tank top in an ad for the Internet role-playing game Prophecy Online (預言Online), Next’s line of inquiry appears immaterial.
Whether Shushu’s turn in the advertisement is more or less sexually suggestive than rival Yaoyao’s now infamous ad for Kill Online (殺Online) — in which her breasts are shown swaying as she straddles an undulating exercise machine — is open to question, but both have been pulled from public broadcast for the present. Shushu’s ad has been taken down from buses.
Fortunately, for those bent, in the spirit of objective research, on determining the relative merits of Shushu and Yaoyao’s ads for themselves, they are still available on YouTube.
Yaoyao’s agent has accused Shushu of being a cheap knockoff of the original jug jiggler, but Next magazine helpfully quotes Shushu’s agent rebuffing allegations of breast enhancement.
“I’ve felt her tits, and they’re soft, not hard,” the unnamed agent is quoted as saying.
The maelstrom of publicity has seen Shushu lose a contract to open the season for the Uni-President Lions. Yaoyao opened the season for the La New Bears on March 29.
Yaoyao has responded to the brouhaha by saying that she will now keep her woofers under wraps and work on cultivating a cute and vivacious image.
This does not, however, preclude the publication of a photo album later this year in which Yaoyao dons nurse and sailor costumes.
“As to how much cleavage will be shown, we’ll keep that to a minimum,” her agent is quoted as saying. “You can’t really specify the number of inches of cleavage shown in the contract.”
Staying with the theme of exhibitionists, a new face is likely to capture major paparazzi attention if the reported relationship between porn star Maria Ozawa and local actor Bryant Chang (張睿家) takes off.
Ozawa, who visited Taiwan to attend Spring Scream last weekend, has a role in Invitation Only (絕命派對), billed as Taiwan’s first slasher horror film.
Chang has a starring role in the film, which is scheduled for release on April 17.
The star of such hardcore fare as Shemale Orgy Gangbang Rape and Enema Clyster Large Jet Best Collection for Japan’s DAS porn production house, Ozawa’s visit was much anticipated, and according to Next, super-stud Ethan Ruan (阮經天) had publicly expressed an interest in meeting her.
The magazine quoted Ruan as stating that he hoped his girlfriend would not be jealous, but there were things Ozawa could do that his girlfriend couldn’t.
Ruan reportedly got a slap on the wrist from his handlers at SetTV (三立) for making inappropriate comments and any meeting between the two was nixed.
In response to the publication of photos showing Chang and Ozawa getting up close and personal, the porn star would not commit herself beyond saying that Chang was a nice boy who was very considerate.
Recently the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and its Mini-Me partner in the legislature, the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), have been arguing that construction of chip fabs in the US by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) is little more than stripping Taiwan of its assets. For example, KMT Legislative Caucus First Deputy Secretary-General Lin Pei-hsiang (林沛祥) in January said that “This is not ‘reciprocal cooperation’ ... but a substantial hollowing out of our country.” Similarly, former TPP Chair Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) contended it constitutes “selling Taiwan out to the United States.” The two pro-China parties are proposing a bill that
March 9 to March 15 “This land produced no horses,” Qing Dynasty envoy Yu Yung-ho (郁永河) observed when he visited Taiwan in 1697. He didn’t mean that there were no horses at all; it was just difficult to transport them across the sea and raise them in the hot and humid climate. “Although 10,000 soldiers were stationed here, the camps had fewer than 1,000 horses,” Yu added. Starting from the Dutch in the 1600s, each foreign regime brought horses to Taiwan. But they remained rare animals, typically only owned by the government or
Institutions signalling a fresh beginning and new spirit often adopt new slogans, symbols and marketing materials, and the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) is no exception. Cheng Li-wun (鄭麗文), soon after taking office as KMT chair, released a new slogan that plays on the party’s acronym: “Kind Mindfulness Team.” The party recently released a graphic prominently featuring the red, white and blue of the flag with a Chinese slogan “establishing peace, blessings and fortune marching forth” (締造和平,幸福前行). One part of the graphic also features two hands in blue and white grasping olive branches in a stylized shape of Taiwan. Bonus points for
Last month, media outlets including the BBC World Service and Bloomberg reported that China’s greenhouse gas emissions are currently flat or falling, and that the economic giant appears to be on course to comfortably meet Beijing’s stated goal that total emissions will peak no later than 2030. China is by far and away the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases, generating more carbon dioxide than the US and the EU combined. As the BBC pointed out in their Feb. 12 report, “what happens in China literally could change the world’s weather.” Any drop in total emissions is good news, of course. By
