Looking through the list of movies, I came across the following description for Fast and Furious:

'Contains strong action violence and sexualised posing'.

Somehow I never knew that 'sexualised posing' is a phrase that has started to be used as a warning for potential viewers. And somehow I think that the warning should probably be applied to most movies these days. For example, I don't remember coming across the warning for the first Transformers movie (with a nod to the special effects by Megan Fox).

And another thing that comes across as being remarkably stupid - a reality show called My Life as an Animal. Yup, people pretending to be animals (including rolling around like a pig) in order to empathise with the animal - how it lives, eats etc.

Forgetting all while that there's a marked difference in the consciousness of a man and an animal. Or the simple fact that different species have different adaptations to life. Man the most intelligent creature on Earth? Sometimes you just have to wonder.

Yawn...

I almost threw up when I saw footage of the recent UMNO AGM. The sight of all the sycophants applauding and cheering the entrance of Tun Dr Mahathir made me want to howl in despair. Not because the old man is not persona non grata anymore, but because of sheer hypocrisy being exhibited by individuals who wouldn’t have been caught speaking to him a couple of years ago.

Naturally, they will now bow and kiss his hand and tell him how they wish he’ll live until he’s a hundred years old. Adat la kan?

On another note, I am hoping to get into a more formal writing role soon. My itch to make some form of contribution to the rakyat might be scratched if all goes well, but it all depends on how discussions go. I suppose that means I’ll have to be a little bit more rajin and procrastinate less.

Somehow I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon!
