The dirty white slut map...
Flipping through the Taiwan news I came across a story about the " Dirty White Slut" taipei map I had blogged about before . I guess someone finally complained to the proper authorities. It's about time.
Here is the story and the pic if you haven't been lucky enough to see it.
Taiwanese publisher withdraws tourist map
2005-09-23 / Associated Press /
A Taiwanese publisher has withdrawn tourist maps from Taipei's international airport showing a pop singer with profanity written on her T-shirt, the company said yesterday.
The free map of Taipei shows singer Vivian Hsu (徐若瑄) wearing a pink sleeveless T-shirt with the three words in gothic letters, a pink cap and hot pants. The words seemed to refer to promiscuity.
The map's publisher, the Vision Group, said there had been no complaints about the slogan, but still decided to remove the maps from the airport.
"The person responsible for issuing the map didn't understand English, but when we saw the picture, we thought it better to withdraw it from circulation," said Yin Ming-jing, a company spokeswoman.
The map is still available at some hotels in Taipei, though. "We have no right to interfere with the hotels, they make their own decision about the map," she said.
Vision also publishes travel magazines and promotional material for official tourism bodies, but the map was the company's own project, Yin said.
The singer's picture was supplied by her record company.

Perhaps it was a trade description issue: Vivian is clearly not white.
She is nothing but a brainless porn actress, she was 31 when she took this photo what a shame. Neither she can act nor sing. I have no idea how can she stay in the show biz if she did not take off her clothes.
