'Trump-Kim' act turns up at Bugis Junction Mall

I'm posting this because it's funny and because it links regional media that might prove interesting in the comming days. The Straits Times has dropped its pay wall and provides an interesting perspective where u.s. media fails.

Cheers!



SINGAPORE - Would one gladly pay for a selfie with United States President Donald Trump or North Korean leader Kim Jong Un?

Well, $10 at least will get you a picture with their lookalike.

About 100 fans gathered at Bugis Junction Mall on Saturday (June 9) afternoon to meet and take pictures with the impersonators, who made headlines in February when they appeared at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.


The meet-the-fan session at Bugis Junction, dubbed The "Real" Trump Kim Summit, was held ahead of the historic meeting between the two leaders on Tuesday (June 12).

The "summit" at the shopping mall was hosted by Vybes, a global start-up headquartered in Singapore. The company says its mission is to "connect influencers to their fans in a unique way."

Absolutely brilliant! Capitalism rules...wish I was there.

 

That was my first thought! Capitalism. In what other system can money be created through laughter?

 

It's the Golden Age of Trump and Kim Jong Un impersonators. Well done on their part!

 

Bowling for dollars. A dead 'sport' in the U.S. seems to be popular in Singapore.

 

They tried an Obama/Kim act, but they couldn't fid an actor willing to send all day grabbing his ankles, and offering up his backside to the Kim character..

 

I love Singapore but bowling is about as popular here as "cornholing" (I'm not making this up), a "sport" that ESPN actually covers and treats seriously. http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/13236785/american-cornhole-championships-x

Oh well....to each his own. No one can force me to watch.

 

Get the news from the source. Where is our media on these issues?

Trump-Kim Summit may be last chance to bring back Japanese, South Korean abductees

TOKYO: The abductions of ordinary Japanese citizens by North Korea back in the 1970s and 80s are a widely acknowledged fact today.

The government of Japan has officially identified 17 victims of abductions by North Korea, while hundreds more were suspected to have been kidnapped.
