こんばんは、デモらです。
もうすぐバレンタインですね。今年も例年のようにバレンタインネタをトピックに…
とも思いましたが、数年連続で私自身そろそろ飽きてきたので、別のテーマを見つけて
きました。クエスチョンの後半はバレンタインネタですが。。（笑）
というわけで、今回の（主な）テーマはスキャンダルについてです。まさに今、某幹事長や
某横綱のスキャンダルが世間を賑わせていますので、それらについて意見を交わすのも
よいかと思います。

☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Everyone loves a scandal
As soon as I grab hold of the hand loop on the train I look around and try to read the advertisements hanging from the ceiling.
Often, posters promoting magazines that focus on the less savory side of the rich and/or famous catch my eye.
Over the past year, I saw a collection of headlines that were impossible to ignore:
"Famous announcer photographed leaving love hotel with married professional athlete;" "Pure-as-the-driven-snow
singer-actress-whatever nabbed for narcotics;" "Police find Russian sumo wrestler's lost wallet with little something extra tucked
inside - a marijuana cigarette."
A boy band member asks police, "What's wrong with being naked?" as they arrest him drunk as a lord and buck naked in a public park
early one morning.
Well, you get the idea. There's nothing like reading about a juicy scandal to pass the time between train stations. But why does
everybody get such a thrill from the failings and foibles of others?
Maybe people get a kick out of watching those who are doing well get their comeuppance. In Japan there is a saying: "The nail that
sticks out gets hammered down."
It's an idea that is certainly not limited to the Japanese. In some parts of the Commonwealth of Nations like New Zealand, Australia
and Canada, we have what is known as "tall poppy syndrome," which means that people who have achieved more than their envious peers
need to be cut down to size.
Americans, too, are obsessed with celebrity scandals. While few Americans know the contents of the latest health insurance
legislation, or exactly what is going on in Afghanistan, almost everyone in the United States can explain the recent Tiger Woods sex
scandal in minute detail.
Personally, I don't get it. Tiger Woods is a billionaire because he can guide a golf ball into a hole better than anybody in the
world. I never viewed him as the moral compass of a nation, nor did he ever seem to have sought out that role. So why is it anyone's
business what he does in his spare time?
Although I don't get much of a thrill from the everyday run-of-the-mill celebrity scandal, I must confess to a feeling of immense
schadenfreude (German for "getting pleasure from the troubles of others") when hypocritical politicians are caught in compromising
situations, such as the 2007 arrest of former conservative U.S. Senator Larry Craig on suspicion of lewd behavior in a men's toilet
in Minnesota.
Scandals and public reactions are similar throughout the world. It seems that humankind will never tire of discovering that the
famous and the powerful are flawed just like the rest of us.
Q1. Do you lave a scandal of celebrities? Why or why not?
有名人のスキャンダルが好きですか？なぜですか？
Q2 What scandal has interested you most in the last ten years?
過去10年でどのスキャンダルが一番興味深かったですか？
Q3. What scandal is interesting for you now? Tell us your feeling about it.
今、どのスキャンダルに興味がありますか？それについてどう思うか話してください。
Q4. Valentines Day is coming up. What do you think of Japanese St.Valentine's day in such a way?
Do you consider Japanese custom of St.Valentine's day a nice thing?
Are you for or against "giri choco"and `White Day`
もうすぐバレンタインですね。日本のいわゆるバレンタインデーについてどう思いますか？いい習慣だと思いますか？義理チョコやホワイトデーには賛成ですか？
Q5. What do you think of new types of chocolates such as TOMO-CHOKO (chocolates women present their female friends) or MY-CHOKO
(chocolates women buy for
themselves)?
友チョコやマイチョコなどの新しいタイプのチョコについてどう思いますか？（友チョコ…女性の友達同士で贈り合うもの、マイチョコ…女性が自分のために買うもの）
