波多野悠遊卡
Yui Hatano and EasyCard
By Yuan-Ming Chiao, The China Post
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The EasyCard Corp. (悠遊卡公司) defended its decision yesterday to have a veteran actress in Japanese adult films appear on upcoming contactless smartcards covers on the island starting next month.
The actress in question, Yui Hatano (波多野結衣), 27, has filmed over 1,200 adult-themed videos, and will appear in an EasyCard series called "Demons and Angels," which will be released on Sept. 1. Around 30,000 copies will be available for sale and the proceeds from the limited edition set will go to charitable foundations.
In a press conference, EasyCard stated that Hatano was not an "official sponsor" representing the company but rather she was first photographed by a Taiwanese photographer and the images were later authorized by her media agency. The company described the images of Hatano represented a "healthy aesthetic" consisting of no inappropriate or suggestive material. It also urged customers not to make certain "associations."
However, several netizens contradicted the company's claims, saying that one of the images of the forthcoming "Demons and Angels" series was not an original, but taken from the video image cover of a work previously completed by Hatano. Several media outlets have already confirmed that the image corresponds to a video that was released in July 2014. In a press statement released later in the evening, the company confirmed that it was replacing one of the card covers with another image.
Asked by reporters if he knew about the company's decision, Taipei City Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) replied: "Who is she?"
The mayor laughed jovially when asked whether he found the images too racy. Ko appeared skeptical about the marketing strategy of EasyCard co-Chairman Tai Chi-chuan (戴季全), saying that 65 to 75 percent of EasyCard users were female. Stating that it was up to Tai to handle this situation, he also reminded the corporate leader that "sales increases are not everything."

Cheer up, here’s the good news (By Annie Makoff )
This morning when I woke up, the sun was shining and I felt good – optimistic, energetic and eager to see what the day would bring. Over breakfast, I turned the radio on. Yet another ageing celebrity had been arrested for sexual offences. There was more bad news on the economy. I picked up a newspaper later. A 15-year-old boy had been stabbed to death. Homelessness is on the rise. Global warming; NHS cuts; another food scandal – by the time I started work, I felt defeated, exhausted and depressed.
I don’t want to stick my head in the sand, but isn’t it tempting to just turn off?
Absolutely, says clinical psychologist Dr Cecilia d’Felice. She believes that going on a ‘bad news diet’ – restricting the amount of news you expose yourself to – can protect your mood, and also enable you to look at the bigger picture in a clearer, more emotionally balanced way. ‘We are so influenced by the media and its portrayal of global events that it influences how we take personal bad news,’ she explains.‘Being saturated with bad news on an almost hourly basis can make our own world feel out of control. It can make us reactive rather than reflective.’
The problem, says social psychologist Dr Sandra Wheatley, is that our brains are wired to zoom in on bad news, and to give it undue precedence. ‘At an evolutionary level, bad news shows us what we need to react and attend to so we can protect ourselves. That’s why people are more comfortable considering the negative rather than the positive. Even statistics, when they are reported, tend to focus on the negative.’
