Share the clown show Dustin McGahee vs Niki Lanik

I almost blew my mouthful of food onto the monitor when I saw this:

It took me a lot of suppression to hold my food in my mouth.  This is what will turn up on the first page when you search for Dustin McGahee on Yahoo Taiwan, the number one search engine here.  All default settings, no tricks.  Niki is not too bad:
His picture is not on the top, but front page anyway.  Another first page at Google Taiwan:
For his clown picture to appear as the first one, you need to broaden the search to all Chinese web, because the blog server is not in Taiwan.

For the Taiwan tour, they only managed to issue a single press release with the name of the university on it.  It is the only event that have decent turn out because university officials were conned into organizing it.  Other student unions sort of gave them the canteen corner for the concert when they heard the word Scientology.

We have 10 times more publicity if you look at the search engines.

For the university that  "got away", all is not lost.  Last time we made sure that a "human rights" event do not return to Taichung city by "persuading" sponsors monthly and weekly, for a whole year until Dec 2010.  The persuasion has already started, and it is daily.

The persuasion started early.  DC Shoes UK and Italia watch UK was contacted on Facebook.  They were good sports and let us leave some of our information on their page (about 1/100 of the copies we posted).  They have few fans anyway.  But someone went on to persuade DC Shoes, with 5 million fans.  Before a copy cat chain reaction started, DC Shoes became an enemy of anonymous - he/she who want to comment must verify identity via credit cards or mobile phones, if you want failbook to keep yours.  I don' t blame them.

Tom Cruise's Failbook page failed on the same date, and had not come back yet.

Of course we contacted the two clowns.  And we had good communication.  We posted a lot on their fan page, before they learned to turn on the facebook filter.

The facebook default comment filter is very fuzzy when you are not verified.  Words like "human rights" don't get through most of the time, and "sexual abuse" never.  So when we posted news on Jane Eastgate, the most juicy bit didn't come through.  This is evil as some one may cry for help on facebook: "I'm being sexually abused."  And it didn't pass the filter!
