友寄隆輝衝冠一怒為紅顏 真的還要為不值的愛情一肩挑嗎？

「Ma幫毆人事件」隨著數天前檢察官偵查終結明確求刑後，新聞媒體的追蹤報導總算告一段落。當然，司法審判的步驟尚未終了，距離三審定讞尚有一大段距離。但是，電視新聞節目和網友對友寄與Makiyo的審判卻仍不手軟，到了情緒性批判的地步－－此以TVBS＜2100全民開講＞李濤對友寄兩個多小時的專訪為代表。

事實上，我們大家均非當事人，只有計程車司機、Ma幫三女和友寄隆輝知道事實真相，不過更確切地說，應該是主使教唆打人Makiyo才知道事情的原委，這位Ma小姐才是整起事件的始作俑者！從新聞報導、曝光的有聲音的影帶以及眾位當事人不論其真實性如何的論述來看，是Makiyo在車內鬧事，然後對友寄不知說了甚麼日語後，友寄開始對司機動粗，最後Makiyo也對司機先生補上幾腳，在旁觀看的ㄚ子和湘瑩為協助Makiyo快速離去而攔另台計程車，一行人在最短時間揚長而去。

隨後我們看到了欠缺誠意的道歉記者會，現在才知那個記者會是Makiyo經紀公司主導，而Makiyo是那家經紀公司的股東之一－－也就是經紀公司自己開的，這不就是說不僅Makiyo教唆友寄打人，更主導整個記者會的方向！儘管事後還拉著罹患癌症的母親去向司機老婆道歉，發了簡訊道歉，然後司機就心軟了，感受到誠意？在我看來，完全是出自司機和他老婆的婦人之仁與婦人之見。原來只要文字寫個「不好意思」，就很輕而易舉地讓司機和委任律師「感受」到誠意，當然先決條件還要有個癌媽才會更悲情！

我認為要或許整起事件最有誠意的是Makiyo的媽媽，以及其他兩位女藝人的媽媽，他們因為擔心女兒，也為他們不良行為向社會大眾道歉，這我相信是出自真心誠意。

友寄難道真的毫無悔過誠意？我個人不這麼認為，他鞠躬又下座，又要賠償新車和醫療費；他去醫院致歉被拒，獨自出門又要冒著被陌生民眾痛扁的風險；另外，他很有可能連感情都被騙了！我認為他在整起事件中扮演的角色恐怕是最窩囊的，他衝冠一怒為紅顏，連那兩小時的李濤專訪也變成他對Makiyo的真情告白。但是，Ma小姐根本不承認他是她的男朋友，根據媒體轉述，他是她的眾多性伴侶之一而已。

我認為友寄真的得仔細思考是否真的要為Makiyo頂罪？真的要為Makiyo隱匿真相而堅拒吐實？值嗎？他不是已經賠了夫人又折兵？他與Makiyo對愛情的認知有差異，他為了Makiyo丟了日本所有工作，在台灣還變成全民公敵，成了任何人皆可攻之的對象，太可悲了！不過，歷史告訴我們可恨之人皆有其可悲之處。

在我看來，在法律保障下，友寄希望有律師陪同去道歉的想法與行為沒甚麼不對！還記得新聞報導說，事發後他不是還去醫院想見司機被拒嗎？我認為，司機先生透過律師發言與聯繫，友寄在尚未有律師的情況下，他為與之接觸也是情有可原。兩方透過各自的律師聯繫，原本就是基本的公平正義的人權保障平台。

「Ma幫毆人事件」媒體與網友們的情緒性批判真的應該要到一段落了！電子媒體不需為了收視率再耙糞了！一切交給司法審判，司機要不要原諒他們，要不要和解也是他們自己的事，嚴格說起來那真的是他們之間的因果啦！旁人無從置喙！

Makiyo等人的鱷魚眼淚，三女一男共犯結構，社會道德淪喪的表徵！

近幾日台灣鬧得沸沸揚揚的「Makiyo毆打計程車司機事件」讓我想到了1988年上映的＜控訴（The Accused）＞這部電影！茱蒂‧佛斯特（Jodie Foster）在這部電影裡飾演一名心情很不好的年輕女子，在酒吧喝得有些醉後用點唱機播歌。她穿著露胸的T恤和短裙隨著音樂翩然起舞，她婀娜多姿的身影，隨著酒精發酵越發性感起來，引起酒吧內一群男子的注意，有人前去跟在她身邊跳舞，然後越來越多人鼓譟，那男人得寸進尺地挑逗她，雖然遭到她的拒絕，但她已越來越擺脫不了那名男子，接著她被男人逼到撞球台邊緣，用他的身體繼續磨蹭她。此舉，引起更多人圍觀，那名男子的朋友們開始更加鼓譟，整個酒吧鬧哄哄的，全部人都彷彿在看戲般的，見證了她被他在大庭廣眾下性侵，接著他的朋友也輪番上陣……在整個事件發生的過程中，酒吧內沒有一個人有正義感的站出來制止，無人打電話報警，竟是有人鼓譟、冷眼旁觀，更有人也參與了性侵的行為。後來，當時所有在酒吧內的人，只要是圍觀與教唆者，不管有沒有參與其中，全部通通都是共犯結構，紛紛被判重刑，讓正義得以伸張！




難道只有把人打踢到病危住在加護病房的友寄龍輝和Makiyo兩人有犯罪嫌疑（檢察官正在偵查，法官尚未判刑）而已？媒體與鄉民都把討論與撻伐的焦點放在Makiyo及其日籍男性友人身上，在旁袖手旁觀的友人ㄚ子和湘瑩就沒事？更何況丫子在他們打完人後，叫另一台計程車離去時，在車內大聲呼叫上在車外逗留的Makiyo快點進車。



我必須要說那三女一男根本就是共犯結構，不論有無動手揍人和踢人，他們是一起的，且意識清楚地袖手旁觀（形同圍觀），雖然可能沒有任何明顯（從錄像來看）在旁叫囂或教唆的動作，但是在旁觀看並幫助行兇者攔車與加速逃離現場而去，那麼就是共犯結構！



我相當訝異現今社會的道德已淪喪至此！事件發生時的地點由錄像來看，車水馬龍，燈火通明，有許多輛汽機車經過，且有幾輛汽機車停下來看發生何事，事發後數日更有電子媒體訪問到目睹行兇經過的路人。但當時竟無人有勇氣與正義感挺身而出制止Makiyo與日籍友人的行暴！雖然另有名計程車司機選擇一面報警一面跟車的方式來替同業出氣，不過我個人認為這並不算是甚麼見義勇為的行為！



倘使當時有人出面制止他們的惡行，那名司機應該不至於傷重至病危，至今仍在加護病房與死神拔河的地步！那名無辜受害的司機顱內出血、肋骨斷兩三根，雙眼蜘蛛網膜下出血（這些受傷症狀全透過賴素如委員、記者或電視政論節目名嘴們所述）──這又讓我想起另一部電影＜武俠＞，甄子丹把入侵小鎮的歹徒以不著痕跡的深厚武功招招打在死穴上，其中有名歹徒被他打到頭部，太陽穴附近，造成雙眼蜘蛛網膜下腔出血，然後就立即死亡！



再說加害於計程車司機的這幫人，竟然在燈火通明與車水馬龍的大街上明目張膽地痛毆人，把人打趴在地動彈不得後揚長而去；而在旁觀看路人、計程車司機和各位汽機車駕駛人竟然無人出手或出聲制止。這又是甚麼樣的社會！



明確地說，這幫人的行徑不值得原諒！不管他們是否是藝人或公眾人物，沒有人有任何特權，可以這樣囂張過後還漠視法律。他們在挑戰社會道德與人性良知！


這件事情不是單靠藝人的鱷魚眼淚以及貓哭耗子假慈悲的裝模作樣就可讓事件平息，更不可能再有機會給這種人以做公益活動代言人的方式，來漂白和粉飾自己的惡行惡狀！



那些頭腦不清、自以為善良的偶像劇製作人和綜藝節目主持人還以鴕鳥心態很鄉愿的要給他們再次演出的機會，甚至Ma媽媽還要大家給她寶貝女兒一個機會，甚至拿死相逼。這些人都在姑息養奸，完全對受害者沒有一絲一毫的同情心與同理心！



當他們踢打人置人與死地時，可想過給他一點生機？現在只不過自己犯錯，受不了輿論壓力就一哭二鬧三上吊。



Makiyo這幫三女一男想要那麼輕易的獲得社會諒解，首先先得受到法律制裁與認錯（不是向社會大眾認錯，而是誠心地向受害者及其家屬認錯），特別是真心懺悔，而非只想著自己未來的演藝生涯而想敷衍了事，這樣才有自新的機會！



犯罪者理當受到法律制裁，無人可以例外！我希望這個案子不可便宜行事，檢察官要好好辦案，不要再出現恐龍法官亂判此案！這樣才能伸張正義，維護法律的尊嚴與社會善良風氣。

親綠媒體果真不允許與其立場不同的聲音之我被資遣了！

或許我也是2012中華民國總統大選下的一個犧牲者，在一個親綠的媒體與企業裡工作的我，原本我可以為了生計而選擇與公司站在同一個立場，連報導一個宇昌案都禁止使用醜聞（scandal）這個字眼，而且在報導馬英九與蔡英九競選新聞裡，100%以民進黨的立場來看所有的事件。在這樣一個向國際發聲的台灣媒體，立場完全的偏頗，我終於在第二次總統辯論過後的那個週日，忍不住發了兩篇有關美國立場與雙英針對「92共識」辯論內容有關的新聞，那兩篇新聞裡完全沒有我個人的評論，只是單純的整理國內外新聞媒體對此事件的報導－－當然，就連這樣的訊息在這家親綠的企業與媒體是完全被忽略的！

我秉持著良知，以及身為一名新聞工作者重視平衡報導的準則撰寫了那兩則新聞。我非挺藍亦非反綠，但我重視的是一個大是大非，亦不忘為民喉舌的新聞工作者的責任，我也很想賭一睹國內這樣一個數一數二的大企業，面對這樣的聲音將會如何處理？刪文是一個選項，開除我也是一個選項。我等著看！

結果，三天內我所貼出的那兩則新聞連續列於該媒體的熱門新聞的前五名內，可見國內外網友是多麼關注這樣的事！而且這樣的事情亦非該媒體不報導就不存在，真相不會因為遮住眼睛就看不見，不會因為摀住耳朵就聽不見！

當然三天後，我被告知不適用而被炒魷魚！不過，我力爭我的就業權利與員工立場，我已超過三個月的試用期，何來不適用之說？這顯然是一個托詞，我要求資方給予可以接受的合理理由！結果，我得到的答案是，公司因成本考量裁減多餘人力－－我才知道原來我是多餘的人力！

我將在那家媒體自己所撰寫的報導全數轉貼於此處的部落格，以英文書寫：Theresa Huang's Feature，歡迎連結閱讀。

今後，我也將秉持身為新聞人的責任持續以此處發聲，正如我對自己的期許：「在這裡，期待世界！」

那兩篇讓我丟了工作的報導：Tsai Ying-wen and Ma Ying-jeou clashed again on "1992 Consensus"以及US government worried Tsai Ying-wen's China policy。也歡迎大家連結閱讀。

上週六大選結果出來，馬英九連任成功，可見台灣大多數人民選擇「92共識」而非「台灣共識」！我的同事在臉書寫道，社長原本準備好香檳慶祝蔡英文當選，結果令其失望而將香檳全數退掉，慶祝派對當然也開不成啦！這讓更確認我丟了工作的確和那兩篇有直接關係！

馬英九總統連任成功後面臨的局勢比上屆更為嚴峻！這是大環境使然，歐元危機和美國經濟的衰退牽繫著全球的經濟，既使我們與大陸簽有ECFA，但全球經濟衰退大海嘯似乎即將來襲，面對全球暖化的嚴重結果，2012的世界末日傳說也將來臨，馬英九政府準備好了嗎？

The oldest active actor and tenor in the world Johannes Heesters died at 108 on Christmas Eve

The oldest active actor and tenor in the world Johannes Heesters died on Christmas Eve just only a few weeks after his 108th birthday. Although in his whole life, he was a controversial figure because of performing for Nazi and becoming Hilter’s idol, he has been very popular in the German-speaking world, German and Austria. After Second World War, he even became Austria citizen.




Johannes Heesters (5 December 1903 – 24 December 2011) had been a Dutch actor, singer and entertainer with a career since 1921. Active almost exclusively in the German-speaking world from the mid-1930s, he was a controversial figure for his actions alleged support for the Nazi Party during the Second World War. Even though these accusations against him were alleged by a German author Volker Kühn, the German court did not find Kühn’s allegations were true and regained his fair name. But his fellow citizens in the Netherlands thought Heesters irredeemable.



He was booed off the stage in his first performance as he played the role as a Nazi-hating Captain in the musical “The Sound of the Music” in his homeland, Amsterdam. Forty-four years later when he was 105, he performed in his home country again in February 2008, many protests out of the Opera against his unverified Nazi activities. Heesters felt sad after he knew that he was an unwelcome person in his homeland.



Heesters was born in Amersfoort, Netherlands, was fluent in German. In his youth, he decided to become an actor and a singer at the age of sixteen and began vocal training. Heesters made his debut on Viennese stage in 1934.

According to the German mass media report, Heesters talked about his wartime activities, “what did I do wrong? Sure, I acted in films in the Third Reich, entertainment films, which distracted countless people inside and outside Germany from daily life during war.” he continued, “Sure, I wanted to make my career and I remember well at the time how many people in the Netherlands were proud that I made a career in the huge neighbouring country. But apart from my career – and the fact that, through no fault of my own, Adolf Hitler was one of the fans of my art – what have I done?”



An oldest artist in the world died, nevertheless, we mourn over his death in a humanity way.

Morgan defended himself at phone hacking at the video inquiry

Piers Morgan, the former editor of Daily Mirror (1995-2004), defended himself on Dec. 21 and told the British inquiry into media ethics that he never permitted any phone hacking when he was at his post. Now he hosts of CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight”.



Business journalist James Hipwell told the inquiry that the voicemail interceptions were an everyday activity at Britain's Daily Mirror tabloid, when he worked in the late 1990s as a columnist. But he did not have any direct evidence to show Piers Morgan had involved in phone hacking.



Morgan told the British inquiry through the video, “In my memory, I don’t think there was phone hacking,” when the inquiry asked him that if he ever witnessed the phone hacking, “Absolutely, no!” Morgan surely answered.



Piers Morgan emphasized that there was no one accused of phone hacking, none of them in Daily Mirror.



According to the local mass media report, Morgan said he had to protect the sources, he refused to point out who provide him the message, when the inquiry requested him about it. He also stressed that he thought it was nothing to do with the ethics when listened to the voice mail.



“What do you want me to say? When they divorced, Paul McCartney said Mills recorded their conversation and gave it to the media. Paul said that was the truth,” Piers Morgan said.
