interviewed last nite by <b>fox 5<\/b> news. he posted an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tienmao.com\/archives\/000612.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">entry<\/a> on his blog a while back about the new crossing signs around new york\u2026and how people were taping over certain parts of the sign to make the stop hand into a flipped bird. the entry made its way over to both <a

which then found its way to someones desk at <b>fox 5<\/b> who, being a super-slow day, decided to do a story on it and call up tien and ask to interview him. now im not saying tiens not a photogenic person\u2026the camera does evil evil things to ones face. conversely too\u2026it can also do good things to ugly people. anyhoo, tien is in the former category\u2026and as such, the photo he has of the interview spot isnt the greatest. his heads not really <i>that<\/i> round. and he isnt really a 300 pound fat asian with a propensity to stay away from barbers and have semi-irregular shepherd moons orbiting his massively dense and buttock-like face. its all the camera. photoshop couldnt even help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img
