I must admit, Apple Daily never ceases to amuse me with its cartoonish depictions of real life.
That’s the big question right now. Everyone wants to know. Was it her lack of a clear China policy? Was she not strong enough on the economy?
Well, I’ll tell ya what. I knew she wasn’t going to win.
How did I know, you ask? Simple.
I went out to lunch on election day here in Tainan. I was craving a burger, so I stopped by this little shop near the university. And, what, praytell, did I see transpire?
This.
Really? Gloves?
People wearing plastic gloves to eat burgers and fries. Shocking.
I kind of felt it, deep down, right then. Like, this is not a good sign for Taiwan. Here it is 2012, and everyone is trying to ignore the looming apocalypse, and then you got these nutters.
And it wasn’t just this couple. Oh, no. The whole shop. Everyone. They were given me the big eye for refusing to put mine on. I still don’t get it. You don’t see people doing this at McDonald’s. There was a bathroom. So, what, was the meat radioactive or something? What were the gloves going to really do here?
For shame, Taiwan. For shame.
