The "Bus Uncle" Hype

It's been the talk of the town in Hong Kong, and even the Associated Press ran a story on it. When i first saw the clip weeks ago, i didnt even have the patience to view the whole thing. I really don't understand what's the big fuss about it. I don't even live in Hong Kong and I see this sort of incidents every time I am there. I've seen more outragous stuff: for eg. a man on the MTR talking very loud to himself about the pressure he face, like negative capital, his work, etc. The man was talking so loud that the whole train could hear him. He went on and on but no one dares to shut him up. The other time i saw this man on the street who kept yelling "delay no more" and other rude things to this woman; the woman kept telling him to stop but still followed him as he continues the insult loudly. (this was probably the worst i've seen, i didnt get involve tho cuz the guy looked like triad members, i just gave him the dirty look) The list just goes on and on ...

(sigh) ... HK kids .... can turn anything stupid into a hype.

Anyways, HK can be quite a stressful place when you are actually working there, so i am not surprise to see people 'losing it' all of a sudden and have a meltdown.
