Now that I've duly injected my body with sugars, artificial flavourings, preservatives and other chemical what-nots, I can start typing. Hurhur.
Today is I-NEED-JUNK-FOOD day!
A week or so ago, HW saw a Channel 8 drama (we call it The Mar & Venus Show) on TV mobile. The drama tries to look into the mechanics of men-women relationships and as the story runs, they often freeze a frame then print out words of wisdom on the side, such as 'Tears are a woman's most powerful weapon'. (Urgh. So cliche. Puke.)
Cliche aside, HW commented that they are propagating warped ideas to viewers by displaying such 'teachings' in a seemingly unbiased manner. But it is, after all, a show of fiction. I actually believe that Singaporean viewers ought to have their own minds in discerning what's good or no good on T.V. They should be able to decide for themselves if something is dished out in jest or full seriousness (and even if it's the latter, it doesn't mean they have to buy it).
But anyways, on this topic... I was listening to FM98.7 this morning and they were running a Twisties contest, promoting Twisties and all that. I heard the DJ say matter-of-factly, "Twisties is good for everyone!" (What rubbish! Twisties is junk!!! The healthy-eating me is getting worked up!) It's so evil to disguise a promotion this way! It was clearly not an advertisement or a play but a semi-conversation between two of the DJs.
Well just so they know, I, champion-discerning-radio-listener, will not be taken-in with all this media crap. Hahahahah!!!
So what happened was, I came to the office and found that I had an honest craving for junk food, specifically, TWISTIES!!! (Just couldn't get that name out of my mind.) So I went down to the nearest 7-11 and grabbed a cheese-flavoured Twisties. Hurhurhur... I even threw in 2 packets of Kinder Bueno and a pack of Peanut Butter M&Ms.
YAY!!! *Confetti*
