I didn't see much of any backlash here in Taiwan. You have to consider that models are present at pretty much any tech related exhibition, be it Acer, Sony or whoever. There are also still regular religious festivals based on the Chinese calendar that involve naked women dancing on floats. You don't see them in Taipei city, but in the southern part of Taiwan they aren't uncommon.

This article has two parts-- someone flipping out about something that's normal in Taiwan, and then a list of dire statistics about the US. It doesn't make much sense.

Throwing in the ".69 cents on the dollar claim" that ignores hours worked, experience and profession eliminated what little credibility remained from the rant at the top of the article.
