Karaoke Drives People Karay-zy
Here’s a bizarre story coming out of South Korea, “South Korean tycoon jailed for karaoke assault”:
Prosecutors said Kim Hanwha Group chairman Kim Seung-youn and several bodyguards stormed into an upscale Seoul karaoke bar in mid-March, seeking those responsible for attacking his son earlier that month.
Kim seized several workers, shuttled them off to a remote mountain area and forced them to their knees while he beat them, they said.
Kara-not-oke Kim has since been sentenced to 18 months in jail for the crime. Kinda stiff when you consider this: “Bush Spares Libby From Prison Term.”

Legal challenge launched over Nina Wang’s fortune
The AFP reports today,“The family of the late Hong Kong tycoon Nina Wang launched a legal challenge Wednesday against the feng shui master who has claimed her entire multi-billion dollar fortune.”
Later in the story, the lawyer for “the feng shui master” describes his client as “a successful property developer who practices feng shui as a hobby.”
And, let’s not forget, last week, the AFP reported “Asia’s richest woman left her wealth to her fortune-teller…”
Fortune-teller, Feng Shui-Master…which Ching Chong occupation is it, exactly?
