Hong Kong Politician Bejeweled, Unrepentant

Thanks to GamersWithJobs for its story revealing the Hong Kong Education Secretary was recently caught playing a puzzle game on his PDA during a 'lengthy legislative meeting.' According to the original story in the Straits Times, he was spotted playing games by "student representatives, who were seated one row behind the education chief." In addition, GamersWithJobs is delighted to note: "Being the gamer that he is, [Professor Li] even refused to apologize for playing Bejeweled on his PDA, as 'no constructive opinions' were voiced in the debate."

That's the same argument I used when I was caught playing Solitaire in my 10th grade computer science class on the old Windows 95 boxes.

They didn't buy it then, and I don't think they shoud buy it now.

Yay for this guy!

I draw pics in my notebook.

Just cuz I don't own a PDA doesn't mean I'm interested!

500,000 people would be impressive in other cities around the world, but that's like what, 0.00000001% of the population of Hong Kong?

politician bejewels you!

Give me a break, I'm trapped in two feet of snow here. I also just wanted to use bejewel in a sentence.

Good for him!!

I know exactly where he's coming from. Ive been to several meetings where I would just play "Space Trader" on my Palm. It was either that, or fall asleep, which I do in some meetings as well.

Its not my fault they have nothing intelligent or interesting to say!
