Must have been a rough flight. Courtesy the BBC:
British pop star Sir Elton John launched a furious verbal attack on a group of photographers in Taiwan, branding them as “rude, vile pigs”.
Sir Elton, dressed in a royal blue tracksuit and matching sunglasses, made the outburst after being surrounded by photographers at Taipei airport.
“Rude, vile pigs!” he shouted. “Rude, vile pigs. That’s what all of you are.”
A spokeswoman for the singer said he was angry that police allegedly did not protect him from the press pack.
‘Pig! Pig!’
One of the photographers shouted back: “Why don’t you get out of Taiwan?”
Sir Elton replied: “We’d love to get out of Taiwan if it’s full of people like you. Pig! Pig!”

Must have arrived without his closet of hairpieces and his tacky Versace wardrobe.
So he thinks Taiwanese reporters are `vile pigs’…obviously, he’s not tangled with Hong Kong’s kozi tui (doggy packs).
Welcome to animal farm, Elton…your rightful home.
Are you Taiwanese yen jun?
You should know that Sir Elton demanded 2 million just to play in Korea and he was also paid to play in Taiwan. So who’s the pig really?
wait until he meets the Korean “media”…
Notice the royal “we”? “We’d love to get out of Taiwan…”
Recently read a story about him staying in an Italian hotel. He was standing on the balcony and started berating the bellman, “Can’t you do anything about this blasted wind?”.
One of John’s retinue commented, “She’s really flipped her wig this time.”
He already has. I think his concert run took him through Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and the last leg of the trip was at Taipei.
Wooo…the wrath of Elton John. A man who sucks other men’s dicks. A man who takes dicks in his ass. Who cares what he thinks, really? A marginally talented senior citizen with the wallet to ‘talk big’ to reporters who are just doing their jobs.

No, I don’t live in Taiwan. Listen - we got into some “discussion” over Korea that spilled over the borders into China.
My point was simply that - America is not 100 per cent right, neither is China. Both have their own flaws, and China is somewhat far behind US of A right now.
It’s not slagging you personally. So, cheers, mate. I really have to take time out from this blog for a while - my deadlines are killing me!!!
Korea has some serious competition.

Asia’s finest links for your browsing pleasure… Hong Kong, China and Taiwan Richard and Adam have some constructive criticisms of the Living in China e-zine aggregator; read both sets of comments too. Dan and Pieter have thoughts on China joining …
“A man who sucks other men?€™s dicks. A man who takes dicks in his ass.” - So what? Him being gay has nothing to do with it. Reserve your biggoted and simple minded judgement for somewhere else, where it wont offend people and show that you have no concept of global mainstream culture. You seriously need a sharp dose of reality outside your country. Fuck off you homophobic human!
Polite as alyways,
