The Celtic Tiger’s roar is no more. Two decades of uninhibited economic growth have come to a shuddering halt in the wake of the global financial crisis and the Irish government and its people are now feeling the pain. Forced to accept an IMF/EU bailout last week, things are now so bad some fear a return to the past when Ireland’s young were forced to look overseas in the search for opportunity.
Who’s to blame for Ireland’s predicament?
Airport safety experts critical of the new full-body scanners at US airports say the machines will not stop a determined terrorist. The scanners can see through clothing, but they cannot see certain items concealed in a body cavity.

Conan O’Brien is using cheap, knock-off ‘Taiwanese animation’ on his new TBS show.
News consumers of Taiwanese animation should not be fooled. Conan relies on a press gang of American child labor to make his animated works.
NMA.tv lawyers have filed paperwork to seize Conan’s blimp as payment for the IPR violations. We will also accept as payment Andy Richter, who would make a nice addition to the Taipei Zoo.

Black Friday is the most important shopping day of the year in the United States. Big bargains are to be had and the one-day extravaganza brings out the competitive spirit in American consumers.
So much so, that Black Fridays past have been marred by violence. Fueling the hype are media that give relentless coverage to Black Friday in their efforts to discern the mood of the American consumer and, thus, economy.
Of course, Black Friday is enormously important to Asia and its export-dependent economies. If Americans don’t keep buying, it won’t be a good Lunar New Year for us just a few months later.

NBA sensation Tony Parker and ‘Desperate Housewife’ star Eva Longoria have been married for three years. But it seems the grass is always greener on the other side. Eva caught Tony “sexting” with Erin Barry, the wife of a former teammate.
As you enjoy this video, be sure to be on the lookout for Tony’s encounter with a French model at his wedding, Eva’s refusal to do something that might cause acne and a little cameo by MC Solaar.
You might have noticed that this video is coming to you guys a little bit later than our usual speedy delivery. We were actually on it on Thursday, but had to re-do the whole thing because the animators made Tony Parker a white dude. I guess he does look mostly white to Asians.

You know something is a big deal when the Taiwan Apple Daily people asks for a story to be dubbed and subbed into English so that they can stick it on their Mandarin language site! They even told me to try and sound extra OUTRAGED! in my voiceover.
People in Taiwan really are full of outrage about this and are determined to tell their side of the story. Now many non-Taiwanese might ask what the big deal is. Sure, it sucks for the athlete, but why is this the top news in Taiwan two days running? I think our Facebook Fan “Gerard Fullsack” put it best when he said “well, the american equivalent would be if the giants went to the world series, and got disqualified for using the wrong baseball bat, or baseball.” That’s exactly right…except Yang Shu-chun passed equipment inspection and wasn’t even wearing the supposedly problematic sensors on her heels when the match began. And as nma.tv commenter “JY” put it, “WTF, WTF?”
As for the conspiracy theory that Chinese and Korean officials were in cahoots…erm, let’s not even go there. The government of Taiwan is “mulling a complaint.” Taiwanese nerds have hacked the Asian Taekwondo Union website. According to a poll conducted by the Apple Daily, 80 percent of Taiwanese are in support of a boycott of stuff from Korea. This is including the Korean soap operas, people, so you know we’re really mad.
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian has come out with her own branded pre-paid credit card. However, experts say her card is rife with hidden fees and that she is ripping off her young fans. Whatever happens, it looks like Kim will be raking it in.

Taiwan has rallied behind Yang, suspecting that Chinese judges exerted influence to get Yang disqualified.

Drinking one can of Four Loko is the equivalent of three cans of beer and three cups of coffee in terms of alcohol and caffeine. The canned energy drink is a favorite with many college students seeking to get wasted on the cheap, calling it ‘blackout in a can’. The US FDA recently banned energy drinks like Four Loko, saying that the combination of caffeine and alcohol is unsafe. College students will have to go back to mixing Red Bull with Vodka
Do you think Four Loko is too loco? Or is the FDA the one that’s loco for the ban?

Democratic candidate and all-around sex god Andrew Cuomo has defeated Tea Party insurgent Carl Paladino to become the next governor of New York.
Kooky Carl said some hurtful things about gays but will no doubt blame the media for his loss. After a heated argument with New York Post reporter Fredric Dicker, he vowed to make up over a nice dinner, saying “I’ll take you out.”
Really? Aw, thanks Carl!
Cuomo’s pops held the seat between 1983 and 1994.
