Multipoly
Another chap on the fast-track to going direct to jail without passing Go. What is it with these subversive elements popping up everywhere, calling our beloved press names? (I, conformist!) See? Re-minisce learns fast, all honour, power and glory be to SPH's name.
I like his sheep avatar though. Wonder if he's welsh? I hear they... roast... sheep there.
heh heh.

Interesting Excerpt
by way of the comedian guy (everybody's a comedian nowadays...) above :
"The legal precedent for the judiciary's stand on entrapment goes back to 1991, when the Court of Criminal Appeal dismissed labourer How Poh Sun's appeal against the death sentence and rejected his grounds that the CNB had used a decoy to lure him into a lucrative heroin deal.
How's lawyer argued that the entrapment was 'morally reprehensible', but the three-judge court felt morality had no part to play in reaching their verdict. What mattered was that How, 50, had trafficked the drug."
Err. They... asked a judge... to factor in morality into the case.
Run that by me again??
Dood. (cough. peer pressure.) Never talk to judges about morality and ethics. They have the LAW to uphold!
Scary thought for the day :
Shady man on street : Go on, say it with me. I-am-a-taliban-terrorist.
You : No.
Shady man : Come on, it'll be fun.
You : No.
Shady man : I'll give you two million bucks and an AK47
You : No.
Shady man : Heck howbaout some ecstasy and heroin
You : NO!
Shady man : Okay tell you what, I'll throw in Fann Wong as well, free of charge.
You : ...
Shady man : Okay that's it. You're under arrest. Read him his rights, boys.
