You might want to be more specific with the URL, that one you supplied just links to a generic contents page.

I think he's referring to this:

And yes, it was a bit odd. I passed on reading all of it. Usually Breen's columns are pretty good as was his book. I'm not sure why this column seemed kind of dumb. Most of the time when he writes something I can understand his point of view having lived in Korea for over three years now.

yes, i also thought
Breen's book was good, but lately his articles in the Times are bordering on the rantings of that other contributor.... good old Steve what's his name who we all know and """love"""

Whoah, reading that was liking being on some way bad acid. Freaky!
He actually considers himself a writer??? And president of a PR company???

Perhaps he was on some baaaaad acid when he wrote that.

By the way, can anyone explain what the hell that was about?
I'm too freaked out to try to figure it out.....

Not the best piece of writing he has done, but a decent drubbing of a dubious bit of research.

Check the headline and the way the date is emphasized: it's a J-O-K-E, people!
Okay, it may have a run a bit too long, but it is still a spot-on parody.
Michael Breen is a hilarious guy, and his latest columns (the "sexy lips" one for instance) have managed to put me in a good mood on Friday mornings -- no small feat.

Kissable lips only matter if they're attached to a mind worth kissing.
