For those of you who have been following the news, or at least the tabloids, for the past few months, you would have realised one thing: Affairs are the in thing.
It all started off with some car crash which led to the escalation of news of Tiger Wood's multiple affairs, with models/girls popping out of the woodwork to confess to an affair. Then came John Terry's similar fate, with his affair suddenly exposed.
And now the latest, our very own JACK NEO! At the moment, only 2 girls have came out publicly, but apparently he has had alot more supposed affairs.
Firstly, one thing i don't understand is WHY these girls want to go public with their affairs. For the 25 year old one of JackNeo who actually did NOT have an affair with him but merely had him try to hit on her, maybe she really does want to just let the world know what he is like, as she claims. (though any logical person will see she just wants publicity)
But for the others.. like those who have bedded Woods, Terry, etc. Is it so GLORIOUS to tell the whole world that you're a shameless slut who sleeps around with any good looking rich man?
Maybe it's the western culture that i don't understand, that it's very normal to sleep around with everyone. Maybe.
Next, i don't get WHY will people NOT support them anymore?
For Woods, maybe the other golfers should follow in his shoes and sleep with a gazillion hot models since it seems to let him play golf extremely well.
For Jack Neo, hitting on younger girls seem to have given him the drive to become Singapore's most successful director. As Mark Lee was quoted as saying: "He (jackneo) works so hard that he doesn't even have time to sleep, i don't know where he has time to have affairs"
And does it really matter if the director of a show has slept with 10 women or none? Is it going to make the show any less interesting? Less exciting?
For someone like woods/terry i can understand, the people who support them are their fans, so maybe now they are not the ideal role model anymore. But for Jack Neo, you are watching his movies and shows, why does it matter what he's like?
If Jack Neo was to save 10 people from a burning building, are you going to go "OMG i must watch his shows!! Sure very nice because he's so heroic!"
And for those self-righteous pricks who go "oh but his shows promotes family values and bond and now he's betraying his family so we shouldn't watch his shows anymore".
Does it mean that if he was to make a show now about extra-marital affairs now, you would go and watch it, since he has had personal experience and hence the show would be good?
He may seem hypocritical, but it doesn't make his shows any less good than before does it?
I am not some super-pro Jack Neo person and hence writing this. No, i didn't even watch his past few shows. though i've to say 'I'm not stupid 2' had a scene which was the closest to ever push me to the brink of tears for ANY scene in any show.
I just thought that the response of the public was quite ridiculous as mentioned above. So. There.
