The Bald and the Beautiful

I say! Nelson Ramsbottom here, with what can only be described as a rather revealing story from Taipei. Reminds me of the time I lost my swimming costume at the Raj hotel in Delhi, but that's a story for another time.

A Taipei district court has sentenced a man to 5 months in jail for tearing the toupee off a telegenic Taiwan legislator's head last year. Chiu Yi, lawmaker for the ruling Nationalist Party, felt the wig 'made him look prettier', and the judge decided that removing the wig intentionally was taking away Chiu Yi's right to look good.

Now, if only Susan Boyle exercised that very same right, we'd all be doing a lot better...

Good night!
