Yesterday's Craptard had a puff piece about Jackie Chan and the Segway. Chan is part owner of the company that has the distribution license for HK and China. Seems he wants to manufacture them in China but parent company is afraid that the technology would get ripped off and knock-offs would start to appear. Chan's company is selling the Segway for US$10,000, double what they sell for in the US. And yet:
Chan is not, of course, selling Segways for the money, but because they offer clean technology and are so cool.Yes, "are so cool." Appeared in a supposedly objective bit of news reporting that was on a news page (well, the same page as the Mary Ma daily joke, so maybe not a news page). Apparently Thursday's paper was edited by and for 12 year olds.
I'm off to Bangkok tonight for five days of seafood, shopping, massage and ... ?
