Sometimes the headlines alone are worth the price

“Porn star subject of growing probe”

Is there a native English speaker on the staff of the Taipei Times with a great sense of humor making up these headlines?

Anybody want to add some subversive alternative headlines to this article? How about “Wang’s Probe into Porno Actress Growing”?

Hey, hey, post picture!

nota bene: Yo Dahudze, some of my friends work for newspapers in Montreal here, and they also tell me, over drinks of course, that to relieve the boredom of sitting in a cramped office all day or night, they often have FUN with headlines like that, especially sexual innuendoes or puns or anything to relieve the boredom. Most readers probably don’t even notice, but the editors have a private joke.

My guess is that the Taipei Times newsroom is the same, and some guy last night had a little fun with the J-Porn star, whoever she is.

I just read the story online. Omygosh: she was working without a GIO permit? You mean, AV stars need GIO permits now? What about when they appear on late night TV shows, blue channels and betel nut boxes? They need permits for that too?

Bring back Madoka! She was the best of the lot. And KIKO!
