Buff justice

Shock! Horror! A rock star has removed his shirt! The world will never be the same! Malaysian singer Faizal Tahir has landed in hot water after removing his shirt during a live show in Kuala Lumpur and revealing a Superman "S" painted on his torso. Unfortunately for Tahir the show was shown live on Malaysian TV and government guidelines stipulate that performers must be covered from knee to chest. He has been banned from appearing on TV for six months. Monkey wonders what all the fuss was about - as far as shocking concert moments go, it's not really up there with Marilyn Manson dedicating children to Satan, girl grunge band L-7 throwing a bloody tampon into the audience, or Alice Cooper's infamous chicken incident. Monkey guesses Marilyn Manson won't be invited to tour Malaysia any time soon.
