The Tenth New Year Post (Or, Funny Thing I Heard on the Radio Today)

My dad had Capital Radio 95.8FM on this morning as we drove to work. It's a lame-ass Chinese station catering to older (read: lamer) people who take interest in petty affairs and faux-intelligent "debates" about "current affairs".

Anyhow, the presenter says, "We're having a discussion in a little while, and the topic for today is 'Extramarital Affairs'."

She then starts playing a song and announces, "This song is '快樂無罪' (Happiness Is No Sin) by 許美靜 (Mavis Hee)."

How ironically appropriate.

I laughed out loud, then had to explain everything to my dad, who'd been oblivious to the whole thing.

His response: "You should write in to complain."

Typical.
