Heralding a New Age

-
For non-Catholics out there, The Herald is a religious weekly publication meant for internal distribution (of course) at parishes in Malaysia. The content is predominantly about the Roman Catholic faith and revolves around news from around (usually matters regarding The Pope) the world and happenings in the Malaysian dioceses. Each issue made up of sections in English, Chinese, Tamil and Bahasa Indonesia (gotta love the terms "uskup agung" and "roh kudus"). If anyone noticed, The Herald was in the news recently. The permit was expiring and the publishers brought up the issue of using a certain "word" in print. Initially, the relevant ministry allowed it and subsequently, our political leader was praised as being liberal and wise in a newspaper editorial. However, just a few days after that, the order was rescinded as the "word" was said to be "proprietary" for some and might cause "confusion" mong the populace.

So, should the previous praise be taken back? Well, I didn't see any editorial on that.

It seems like they've "trademarked" those words eh? I guess we have seen another reason for a truly secular government.

I think it's utter rubbish that they should change the word you mentioned.

Could I copyright the word God as well? Maybe I could sell T-xhirts then.

@Ban:
Malay Bible? That in itself is frowned upon.

@Alex:
Separation of "Church" and "State" is quite impossible here and difficult enough, elsewhere (with the exception of communist countries, :P).

@AhB:
Who is right. Who is wrong.

@Savante:
I think you'll make more money with Lingam T-shirts. :P

Coat West Star II: Sho

This is a follow up post from my Nagi post. Sho is another favorite of GV producerr COAT WEST. I usually see him as a top but on rare occassions, he could be seen penetrated by Nagi and Hikaru. What's hotter than seeing a hunk being on the receiving end once in a while? His body is never very defined, but he is definitely sexy. Kinda like Johan Paulik of Bel Ami fame. SHO Name: sho Name：Sho（翔） Height：180cm Weight：70kg Age：21 (during Sho Only Shining Star) Birth date：Unknown (1985) There is no girlfriend: Now there are ... ... (sho is very shy yo ~) Girlfriend?：Yes Dated for：Half a year Type of girl he fancies：Petite～ Makes people have an urge to protect them, cute when running (in small steps) Wants his girlfriend to call him：Sho-kun（翔君） (I can do that!)

Kensei

Been a long time since I wrote about Japanese GV actors. There's this one guy called Kensei (for COAT ) who looks really cute in my opinion. Has an angular face with cute eyes. Also a sunny smile with a gap tooth, though it's rare. And he has a nice physique ( nice pecs, abs, thighs, not overly-developed ) that is coupled with a tanned complexion ( I don't need my boys to be tanned, but I'm sure many out there like that kinda thing ). Very sporty. Looks great in Speedos and track suits. Really can carry off the athlete look. Perfect with the exception of his package-- not so well-endowed compared to his peers in the industry. I'm not a size queen, so I don't mind. Overall, a handsome fella. On his 'acting skills', he's not exactly expressive ( think Keanu Reeves ), but of course I can overlook that. One of the titles puts his statistics as 188 cm, 78 kg, and 18 years old. Not too sure about the age. Think that's fabricated. I've seen h...

Osamu or Naoya?

-
Image
There's a GV actor from KO-Video that I have my eyes on with the name OSAMU AMAGASA ( a 20 year old with an athletic body ). If I'm not mistaken, he later signed with Coat as TAIIKUKAI SEIHA NAOYA . Also seen him with Coat. From what I've seen, he's a versatile fella with a hefty package. But I really like to seem him on the receiving end cause he OBVIOUSLY enjoys it when he is filled. Really sexy to see. In Coat's "Get Athlete Conquest - Naoya", I loved seeing him bobbing up and down while taking it like a canine. Such a turn on especially when the other guy services him at the same time. Also saw his performance in KO-Surprise!'s "Just Do It!" where he was paired with the twinky Asuka Aizawa. Loved his moans while he was being explored. He has appeared in other newer videos but they have yet to appear in torrents. I'll be keeping a look out!
