the kiss of death

today's podcast topics:
1. engrish catchphrase of the day: moder show young fashish (click to enlarge photo):

2. a riddle-like question about Taiwan's upcoming midterm elections.

3. girl, 17, given the kiss of death by her boyfriend. (news article)
Dec. 2, 2005 update: i made the mistake of assuming this bit of news happened in Taiwan just because i read it from a Taiwanese internet news source. it actually happened in Canada. i didn't read it that carefully. =) sorry..

4. public humiliation day: students punished for getting lousy grades by being made to stand on a busy sidewalk memorizing things. (saw this on TV but found an internet link for you guys)
