Comments on: The Inevitable Taiwanese News Animation about the TSA's Touching of Junk http://boingboing.net/2010/11/16/the-inevitable-taiwa.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Fri, 24 May 2013 23:02:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: tweaked http://boingboing.net/2010/11/16/the-inevitable-taiwa.html#comment-941331 tweaked Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-941331 So, I'm curious. Does anyone know if this animation, or any of these CGI clips from NMA.tv, actually appeared on TV news in Taiwan? Because their website seems more like it's mostly an online thing - I would love to see video of this actually being worked into mainstream news broadcasts in TW. So, I’m curious.

Just from a pragmatic maybe-we-shouldn't-name-our-company-this POV, yeah maybe you shouldn't have. But thanks anyway for the bittersweet lulz. I'm really loving these Taiwanese mavericks. And I'm really despising Obama and his constitutional-raping cronies. He's worse than Bush. At least with the GOP version, you knew what you were getting. Obama is Nega Bush. He's Bush and Cheney in one disgusting package. re: 2) It’s amazing that the real name of Chertoff’s company is RapiScan, only one vowel away from RapeScan.

Speaking as a trans person, the TSA actually does seem to think this way. Not pleased with the cross-dressers-are-terrorists thing.

How about dropping poison marked as aid on Afghanistan? (They dropped peanut butter, which is standard, but basic research would have shown that most people in the region are deathly allergic to it. I don't think it was done on purpose) Oh wait, again not Obama.

I'm starting to like these Taiwanese animator guys more and more, they make some excellent satire disguised as news (kind of like the inverse of the Daily Show). That California pot one was HILARIOUS. Yeah, 1:01 was priceless.
