from kollaveri to gangnam style...duh(:

I have seen alot of dance crazes from limbo rock to macarena to moon-walking in my time. In fact I still do a cool rhumba or line-dance with the right partner accompanying once in a while. Now there is this silly dance craze called "Gangnam Style". I believe it started in Korea and caught on very quickly in most parts of Asia.

Fine, dance is an art form but to think a national newspaper owned wholly by a political party to give this, I repeat, silly dance craze as the head-lines today is plain like its bankrupt of news. What was the chief editor thinking when he allowed an entire front page splashed with only stories related to "gangnam style" ? The paper even treats the PM's interest in this craze as news-worthy. Me thinks the Star has totally lost it's plot. Read here !

There are a hundred political issues begging for probing/investigation and this paper publishes this clear diversion for all to "loosen-up" from serious bread and butter issues. Was it also Tourism minister, Ng Yen Yen's red-herring from addressing the "cynide" protest/issue today in Raub, Pahang, no ? Or our ever in-the-news Information minister Rais's latest "shiok sendiri" one million cloned Merdeka tweets to get into the Malaysian Book of Dubious Records ? Our politicians are on a multiple orgasmic surf-ride and the sad part is they think we and the rest of all Malaysians find this amusing. Do we honestly need such buffons as representatives in the august house to better the lively-hood of the man-in-the-street ? Sheeesh !

Come on lah folks, this paper is mocking us into believing our country is run by a bunch of "gangnam styled" idiots by citing the PM Najib's personal interest in this dance ? What this country needs is a kick in the ass to right the hundreds of wrongs it has committed and here we have the MCA owned Star with a head-line today reading "Gangnam Style" !

Who the fcuk gives a damn for a stupid dance craze on an entire front page ? Surely that dance is not going to make all the corruption and abuses go away or pay our taxes or put food on the table, right ? Luckily I only read the on-line version. This type of news as a head-line in a major tabloid is a total waste of money. Am saddened to see the Star's quality of news hereinafter. I have a lot of friends employed in this newspaper.

What happened to my friends Veera or David ah ? Or even Datuk Chun Wai ?
Chee Sin !
