I can't remember the last time a comment on my Friendster's page made me feel so... ecstatic. Yes, I am SO looking forward to seeing you again. How long has it been? Four years? Five years? Both of us have changed? For sure. It just doesn't matter. It never did, right? I guess when it comes to us, we adapt instantly :).

The Public Figure

(+) I am so tempted to tell him bluntly what I think about him and that whole messy affair. But it's his personal business *sighs*.

(-) He activates the commenting system, right?

(+) Yeah.

(-) Meaning he welcomes any comment whatsoever.

(+) It's still his personal business. Is it ethical to leave a message that can be interpreted as interfering to one's private domain?

(-) Ethics are sometimes overrated. You can also view this as a dispute between your ethics and his ethics. I don't think his post is ethical, if you ask me. The ex wife can claim that the particular post is a character assassination of her, right?

(+) Yeah, I guess so.

(-) If it is on a public domain, intentionally, then it already belongs to public, unless specified otherwise. You know, photographs, songs, or any other copyrighted materials. Which doesn't apply to this case. He can't accuse people of violating his privacy.

(+) True, true.

(-) Remember, if you're a public figure, your figure becomes public *winks*.

(+) Hahaha... So, shall I proceed with that?

(-) Go on! Besides, it's about time somebody tells him that his reputation in his field doesn't grant him the privilege to publicly degrade the other party, who seems clueless. And let's not forget the poor kid.

Pour Les Fans de Persepolis...

You might have missed Jiffest. In that case, please, do yourself a favor... GET THE DVD! (ahem.. pirated?). It's awwwweeeeesommeeeeee!!!!

The original artwork's die-hard fans (helo, Da!) need not worry that they will be disappointed. The Jury Prize of the Cannes Festival should speak for itself, yes?
