This land does not have three hundred taels of silver!

Logging out of my Yahoo! email led me to this piece of news ( though it was the news of the dismissal of a NY citibank banker that caught my attention. Reason for the alleged abrupt termination - she was too sexy! And in the lawsuit, she purported her manager told her to '“refrain from wearing certain items of clothing, in particular, turtleneck tops, pencil skirts, fitted business suits, or other properly tailored clothing” ... madness!)

Anyway, back to the next piece of news that I read... being proactive doesn't pay. Was this yet another publicity stunt - to cash in on the negative impact of one to prove one's not in the perceived same league as the other in spotlight, under 'concerned parties' scrutiny. Perhaps, that's really the case, but to the netizens it seemed, based on their comments, it's like 越描越黑... or is it as the chinese proverb goes '此地无银三百两' ?( loosely translated as 'this land does not have three hundred tales of silver'. - found a weblink to the origin of this proverb)

this minor stakeholder still firmly believes in what she believes.. :)  like the chorus of one of my fave song by the Pretenders...I'll stand by you. :)
