@2100: Thanks for explaining that, its obvious that you are a lot "closer" to all that stuff than me. :) The only asian people I've met were rushing tourists. :D
Btw., those tears may be real, but its getting exploited beyond all measure. Good example for that is a German show named "Supertalent". Almost like *whatever*'s got talent, but not only for singers but also for people who paint with their penis (no kidding!). Theres one beautiful hot sexy judge (Sylvie van der Vaart) and she cries once in a while. I noticed that these crapheads cut in her tears whenever it fits, so it can occur that theres a guy singing and next you see Sylvie crying in three different outfits. Hilarious! :D
