Michael Fay

I stumbled upon this joke from asianjoke.com as I was doing some research about Mr.Fay in light of the recent car vandalism fiasco in Singapore recently. I was wondering what happened to him. Anyways for people who don't know who Michael Fay is below is prose from Asianjoke.com that sums up satirically what went down.

There is an American named Michael Fay
He loves to take our public signs away
Sometimes graffiti on our cars he spray
Until by the police he was caught one fine day
The Chief Justice to Michael he says
" A small fine you shall have to pay "
" Four months in Queenstown Remand you'll stay "
" With six strokes of rotan coming your way "
This decision Clinton try to sway
For vandalism is a game their local boys play
We should find other means to keep crime at bay
Because caning is not an American way
Tried all means Fay's father and mother may
And even the American press got into fray
Desperate, the plea for clemency went President Ong's way
Authorized to pardon, hopefully he may
Finally, in order that Clinton's face shall not go away
Two strokes less of caning to Michael's dismay
George Fay, his father still shout " Nay! nay! nay! "
Once Fay out of prison, back to US they will forever go away
We ain't racist
We ain't sadist
We don't have a caning fetish
We just want some justice!

American press and the government was up in arms about this. But during my travels through the American Midwest, most of the regular folks that I spoke to seem to agree with that type of punishment, and said that the US authorities should practice that sort of thing for some of the crimes. Perhaps my opinions were skewed because most Midwest folk are Republican and if I had been in California things would be different.

Either way, when Michael Fay went back to US, his pattern continued where he beat his step-father so badly, the step-father actually said that he regretted lobbying for support to spare him off the rod. Then a couple of years ago he was stabbed to death in a bar fight. Rather sad I must say....
