Well, having spotted this article on the BBC news I had to come to blog about it... its like why are reporters only suddenly bothered about this... take a look:
A two year old toddler is hit by a van, the driver makes off, she's hit again, people walk by and pretty much no-one gives a shit. This is pretty normal for South East and Eastern Asia in general, if you've ever spent any time watching any of the sickening postings and video's on "Toxic Junction" you'll soon see how people of such countries simply do not give a flying fuck about anyone in the road.
American McGee was on GFW Radio, back in the day, and he was talking about working in Honk Kong, he explained a Chinese (I think) concept of "Maw Fong". You'll have to excuse me if that's not the right spelling. But the phrase pretty much relates to the standard bullshit that goes on in China. The words actually mean "trouble you", so you could say "Maw Fong Mei", to mean "May I trouble you", but Maw Fong is just all the crazy fucked up shit that goes on in China.
A good example, apparently, is that in the Chinese driving test (or at least of Hong Kong) one of the questions is "Should you find yourself going down a street with cars parked, should you a) honk occasionally to let people know you are coming, b) honk often to let people know you are coming, or c) hold down your horn to let out a continual tone?"... And one of these is the right answer! That is Maw Fong.
The people walking past that poor little girl, that's Maw Fong. Its all fucked up, and shows just a little of the "don't give a shit attitude".
Why am I so bothered? Well, a couple of posts back I had a dig at Nottingham Police, and this was because I stood up to sort out a small local problem. The problem is quiet, but the situation carries on, the nasty bitch I had to deal with still goes out and talks to other people about me like I'm shit, that's Maw Fong. You try to be nice, you accidentally walk in the street and the planet will kick you in the knackers, run you over and watch you squirm.
I'm just amazed this story got reported, just go look at Toxic Junction, of how much of this crap goes on.
