Good reading there!

In the course of mourning Chen, the sight of a string of celebrities, ne'er-do-well politicians and retired security agency officials lining up to pay their dues played itself out. Of the former, pop singer Jay Chou (???) was the most conspicuous, and he has gutted his reputation -- and raised questions about who he owes and how much -- by paying his respects. Chou should be ashamed, but we are not sure if he has the depth of character to feel it.

Honey, Let's Get A Love Certificate!
http://english.cri.cn/3100/2007/11/10/902@292895.htm

from this:

"It is dumb to give your girlfriend roses or dolls as presents. My girlfriend was thrilled when she received my love certificate," a student majoring in Chinese language and literature was quoted as saying.

Gotta love these unattributed "quotes" that occasionally turn up in the CRI articles! Of course, nothing compares to Singapore's Electric New Paper, which habitually peppers its articles with opinions from the likes of "Ms. Chen, 27" and "Ms. Tan, 25" in yesterday's article about A-Mei.
