I don’t know, when you’re paying people $540 for massages, misunderstandings can happen. That’s about the most charitable way of looking at things vis-a-vis Al Gore in this whole massage incident.

Anyway, comes now NMA, the people who make animated videos to explain the news to people in Taiwan. This one is a doozy.

In this scene, Al G. explains the ground rules:

Uh oh, he’s getting p’oed:

Explaining the poodle reference:

Not sure what W and Pink are doing in there, but oh well:

Enjoy.

Former US vice president and climate change warrior Al Gore is in hot water after news emerged this week of a 2006 close encounter with a hotel masseuse in Oregon. In a statement made to Portland police reported in the press, the 54-year-old masseuse recounted how she repeatedly had to fight off groping Gore as he made several attempts to bed her after she attended his hotel suite to administer a massage. So far, no charges have been filed.

美國前副總統高爾（Al Gore）上月才驚傳與結縭40年妻子分道揚鑣，現在又驚爆性醜聞。美國媒體報導，一名奧勒岡州女按摩師在2006年曾指控高爾性攻擊，甚至聲稱當晚所穿內衣留有高爾的DNA，可資佐證。

根據《國家詢問報》等媒體報導，這名不願透露身分的54歲女按摩師指稱，2006年10月在飯店安排下，替以化名「史東先生」入住的高爾按摩。
抓手迫摸下體

當她按摩到腹部時，高爾要求她繼續往下，遭拒後大發雷霆，並抓住她的手碰觸自己鼠蹊部。按摩結束後，高爾愛撫她的胸臀、親她，還將她推上床，只差沒霸王硬上弓。
該女子在數周後才報案，表示當時「完全嚇呆，擔心失去工作」。據帳單顯示，按摩服務從當晚 11時開始，第一節為90分鐘，其後立即追加一節75分鐘。高爾共支付540美元（約1.7萬元台幣），另加給兩成小費。俄勒岡州檢方也證實，確實有女子報案稱遭高爾「不當肢體接觸」，但她後來不願接受警方訪談，也不願提告
