Undertable

The Chinese are notorious for their corrupted ways like under table bribing and questionable gifts to high rank officers. But you have to hand it to them, they are really good business-wise.

Anyway, all is well for the pig.

Or is it?

Taichi

Does this sound familiar? It happens at large organizations where the default (and the most intelligent) choice when faced with a task is to push it away.

How will the pig get his ID?

Queue

Anytime you go to a bank to settle errands, you will run into queues.

I suppose queues will be *everywhere*. Even web site log-in have queues. I am not kidding.

Different Treatment

Bureaucracy is something that we normal people and all people should not have to deal with. It is even worse for normal citizens without any clout or political power. We do not have that kind of red tape thousands of years ago. Why now?

Building plan permits, environmental safety permits, time sheets, door ID badges and TPS reports.

We humans in their 20s should not sit in cubicles all day filling up TPS reports.

Resurrection

Wow, one heavy theme after another. This is the part where the movies usually repair the corpse magically.

Road To Heaven

This is the start of the series Road To Heaven. The pig is trying to live happily ever after in the, well umm, after life. But his curiosity and naughtiness always show up at the wrong time.

"Are you real? Not a fake beard right?"

Take Over Your World

The best way to take over your world is by taking over the things that you use to see, hear and talk with each other. This reminds me of the Great Firewall of China. I mean, most people are navigating the Internet through the filter called Google anyway.

How much power do they have on information control, in other words, is it really "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG)?
How about those that you cannot see?
Hmm.

Hype

It is amazing to what great lengths that the movie makers are trying to avoid the "Superman Curse".

*Spoiler Start*
Only one instance of Superman was uttered in the film. Is it just me or is the Man of Steel trying too hard not to smile at all in this reboot?
*Spoiler End*

Diet

Most people wanted to have a celebrity body. But the work they put in only has the intensity of an old arthritic grandma's spanking. If people point them in the right direction, they will instead scream "genetics", "I don't want to get too strong" and "ectomorph".

Good Samaritan (3)

Here is another episode of "Good Samaritan", where the good guys are not always what they seemed to be. There is a saying that goes like - beggars can't be choosers. Can they choose their robbers? Apparently not.
