A Louis Vuitton store in Taichung was robbed the other night. No big deal, but I just like the comic art work that the Apple Daily provided. It looks like Speed Racer gone bad. I have to hand it to one of the robbers for daring to clean out the store, *a store with big windows*, while wearing a bright yellow raincoat. Even if you can’t read Chinese, check out the pics all down the page here. (English details here.) I wish people would stop calling it “LV”. The whole damn Chinese article refers to “LV” all the way through. Why pay thousands of dollars for a bag whose name you can’t pronounce?

Ah, a fellow fan of “マッハGoGoGo” (”Speed Racer” by another name)!
Trixie, Spritle, Chim-chim and all the rest were incredible for their time, marking in their performances incredible advancements for young women, children and animals.
How sad that the Apple Daily has found that Speed Racer’s career, like that of many teen/child stars, has gone downhill.

I think it’s pretty clear that it’s not Speed Racer, himself who is breaking in. My guess is that it’s Racer-X, Speed Racer’s wayward brother.
I think there might also be some resemblance to the cast of “Battle of the Planets”… looks like Mark or Jason are stealing bags for Princess or the hermaphroditic Zoltar. One key reason for not bringing Tiny along is that the man seemed only good for whining about how things were “broken”. (Yeah, tell me what you CAN do with the frickin’ Phoenix ship, not what you CAN’T do, you fat piece of crap.)

I liked the art work better when they were using those computerized graphics — they do a pretty good job, at least one or two steps up from the Dire Straits “Money for Nothing” video graphics.
