China Wine aftermath
Some time ago, I blogged about Ho Yeow Sun's China Wine music video. For some reason, it got a lot of responses, the latest of them being posted just two days ago.

She was an ex-pastor. what does this say to her church followers? being a role model, isit ok to dance like a harlot and spew immoral words? she even claims shes spreading God's love through her music.

a complete disgrace to christians if u ask me.

Ok, first and foremost, she wasn't dancing like a harlot, Kiesna. Harlots don't dance. They gyrate in thongs against poles with their tits showing in their full silicone-implanted glory. And that's totally awesome. As for immoral words, I didn't hear any in that song. Then again, since you appear to live in medieval times, maybe women saying anything whatsoever in public constitutes immorality to you, huh?

Secondly, you've already said she's an "ex-pastor". So why would she still be expected to be a role model for the flock she's left behind? Seriously. That's like saying my ex-girlfriends are still obligated to fuck me or expecting ex-convicts to live in prison.

Lastly, how is what she does a disgrace to Christians? I mean, come on, if we have had people burning abortion clinics, lynching gays, opposing the use of contraceptives, hunting and burning witches, attempting to convert people by the sword, rushing into war while purporting to follow a loving God and committing genocide against cities such as Ai on God's command (Joshua 8:22-26) all claiming to follow the Judeo-Christian God, what makes a little dancing such a disgrace to Christians? Even if she were to strip and dance naked on television, would that really be worse than genocide or even murder? Why don't you run along and go do something useful instead of judging others? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, eh?

  China Wine
Watch Ho Yeow Sun shake her booty in this video.



I've never been a fan of Ho Yeow Sun, but yesterday an article about her in a local Chinese newspaper caught my eye. Apparently, the people who were interviewed in that article have discovered fire, the internet and YouTube and they're all shaking with righteous indignation, saying that the MTV was licentious. Uh, no guys. Grace Quek aka Annabel Chong was licentious, Ho Yeow Sun is not.

Aside: Not that I have a problem with licentiousness, of course. (Nor should you, if you happen to enjoy some pr0n now and then. Don't be a hypocrite.) I quite admire Grace Quek, and I think it took a lot of pluck to do what she did and a lot of strength to live down the consequences and not only that, to transform herself into a web developer.

Aside to the aside: The geek snob in me feels compelled to point out that I would be a lot more impressed if she develops in Ruby on Rails, CakePHP or even Mono rather than inferior technologies like C# .Net, but hey, from pr0n star to pr0grammer is already way awesome. Go Grace!

Aside to the aside to the aside: I personally think that C# is not such a bad language, but my beef with it is that ASP .Net runs only on Windoze servers and, as Paul Graham said, "At this point, anyone proposing to run Windows on servers should be prepared to explain what they know about servers that Google, Yahoo, and Amazon don't."

Back to the topic, interviewees in the aforementioned article were saying that she can't be another Jolin Tsai because she's married and has a kid blah blah yada yada yada. Firstly, what century are these people living in? Hello, ever heard of Sharon Stone? What about Michelle Pfeiffer? Not that I think Ho Yeow Sun is as physically attractive as those ladies, but fuck Jolin Tsai, ok? She's a kid. They are women. Secondly, Jolin Tsai isn't even in Ho Yeow Sun's league. Jolin Tsai is regional. Ho Yeow Sun is global. She has #1 tracks on both the US and UK dance charts. She's collaborating with Wyclef Jean and Tyson Beckford appears in her music video. Who's Wyclef Jean? Remember Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie"? That's Wyclef Jean. Who's Tyson Beckford? He's the biker dude in Britney Spear's "Toxic" music video and one of the most prominent male models in the world. Who has Jolin Tsai worked with? Jay Chou? Don't get me wrong, the dude is talented, but while most kids in Taiwan probably danced to Hips Don't Lie in clubs, I doubt the average non-Chinese kid has even heard of Jay Chou.

Another point raised was that her husband happens to be a pastor. Well, what of it? Good for him, that a pastor can be open-minded enough to accept his wife being an international pop star. As for charges of licentiousness, come on, nobody would have batted an eyelid if it had been Christina Aguilera, Nicole Scherzinger or even Jolin Tsai in that video. Most of these "critics" have probably enjoyed watching the videos of at least one of those singers. Even if they haven't, their children probably have. These are the times we are living in, this is the stuff your kids are watching. Deal with it and stop being such anal-retentive fuckwads. Your time is over, bitches. Welcome to the next millennium.

As I said, I'm not a fan of Ho Yeow Sun, but come on, the woman is the first Singaporean to have #1 singles on both the US and UK charts. I'm not sure even Ayumi Hamasaki has done that before, and Jolin Tsai sure as fucking hell hasn't. This is as far as one of ours has ever pushed it, fellas, and we're trying to tear her down? What in the world of flying fucks is this nonsense? It's going to be our National Day soon, guys, so even if you're not a fan, like me, feel some patriotic pride at her achievements.

Good work, babe! Show 'em what you're made of!
