is a narcissistic agnostic atheist, having sustained a psychological disorder, characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem. He writes and draws comic books, movie screenplays, etc (albeit unpublished) with this secret alter ego, while whoring as a full-time white collar goody two shoes telling people to fuck spider in a polite way. Really.

    H Is For Hypocrite/Hypocritical

    Some excerpt from 林奕华's article on the leading Hong Kong paper, Ming Pao. Thought-provoking commentaries on the increasingly notorious tabloid news of the year, with pointers listed in an alphabetical order.
    H is for Hypocrite/Hypocritical

    「虛偽」兩隻字在報章頭條上被放大,首先使人深思的,倒不是被它們指控的當事人(阿嬌)有幾表裏不一、言不由衷,而是兩隻字被看到的背景,以及從中引伸出來的定義。

    如果我們都能明白,及實事求是地接受一份報章可以在新聞版道貌岸然,在風月版卻是「大滾友」,那麼,要求一個廿六七歲的女藝人徹頭徹尾是童話中的仙子或公主,便是選擇性地提出指控。因為,藝人明顯是娛樂工業一部份,「童話」的存在是補償現實中不能達成的美夢,只有兒童(天真)或思想不成熟的人(幼稚)才會相信看似童話人物的藝人是活在現實世界中的卡通人物。

    為什麼有些人可以一邊如此世故,同時又如此無知?抑或,無知不過是一種偽裝,為的是開脫自己的鋤弱扶強?以譴責阿嬌「虛偽」為例,只要認識問題的本質,任何人都知道她的「虛偽」只是服膺虛偽的娛樂制度,甚至是媒體制度——「她」的「純情」,難道不是由這些制度按照市場需求而塑造?大眾渴望她永遠保持貞潔,但在渴望背後又隱藏着對她的性幻想——何嘗不是出於充滿吊詭和抑壓的慾望?

    不去反思自己的矛盾,偏去怪罪一個平日盡量替大眾「圓夢」,卻因一次意外而打碎集體幻想的藝人「虛偽」,請問是誰的不誠實和說一套做一套對社會造成更大的誤導和影響?

    即便阿嬌真是「虛偽」,她「口不對心」的理由已是人所共知,但在這時候還以道德之名搖旗吶喊要她「全盤交代」者,目的卻是希望消費過程中更多細節(甚至謀利),那就更是典型賊喊捉賊,真的很虛偽。
