love hurts

The best show on local telly -- Love Airways on Channel U, Wednesday, 11:30pm

Chanced upon it last week. Simultaneously, two fellow addicts sent me text messages to turn on my TV. Last night, I made sure I alerted my other friends to this gem. It is pure [unintended] comedy.

Everything was cringe-worthy.

-- The self-proclaimed Dr Love [watch out for the trailer in which he sits on a swivel chair with his legs open, exhibiting a significant bulge there] asks supposedly-kinky questions in excruciating Mandarin. Surely there are better ways to ask, "So does this leopard-print nightie drive you wild?" You don't have to be leering lecherously at the same time.

-- Sister Love, his able assistant, is an ang moh woman dressed as a nurse, who speaks Mandarin so slowly, it's as if she's speaking to a retard.

-- Queen Amrita, a dominatrix from Japan, carries a whip and goes around Wine Bar carrying out a pointless sex survey. She is truly scary, especially when I see her flabs spilling out from the sides of her rubber suit.

-- The two [thankfully anonymous] persons in body suits, one blue and one red, go through various Karma Sutra-like moves, but often without any contact. I don't understand how that leads to copulation.

-- The insane music is beyond description. You need to hear it for yourself.
