81st Movement

Today (Barney voice, imagine it), we are going to talk about the MEDIA!!!

Yes, the media is a wonderful thing isn't it? It tells us what's happening around the world, what's good and what's bad and what is the best thing to do during your free time! The media in Singapore especially is what drives youths forward, to expand their creativity and in turn make Singapore a better place and a Global City for the Arts!!! So everyone, let's ALL thank PAP for the wonderful use of the MEDIA!!!

***k you (takes off Barney suit).

If the media ever tells happy things in one night, I'd say Singapore is the place to be. Global City of the Arts? PUI!!!

It's not that I'm criticising the media, or anything related to it. It's just that it's very very restricting. Lust/Caution was an R21 movie, but because of MDA, it turned into an NC16 movie. Bullshit, seriously.

The media portrays certain elements that makes it very influential, movies are one of them. Kids nowadays get their school's worth from movies, from the TV. You bring a kid to watch Mission Impossible 3 and the scene where Tom Cruise makes love to er...I can't remember her name, but he makes love to her in the hospital and they're going to ask a gazillion questions. If you don't answer, two kids of opposite sex may even try it out.

Bringing it to the next level, Sense of Home: the Anthology series (first series to be ever filmed entirely overseas...like WO~~~W...sorry for being bimbotic) is another way of MDA to show Singaporeans that Singapore is the one and only place for you. To me, it is PROPOGANDA!!! They're trying to influence young minds to STAY in Singapore, why? Because Singapore talents are running off to places mentioned in the series! Venice, China...etc.

Now, come back to the kids level. The internet now is the most dangerous tool ever, you can actually do almost ANYTHING if you knew how to. An article was posted on the notice board at the Church of St. Anthony of Padua, talking about how a girl learnt about sex at age 12, after that having her first intercourse at 13 (or 14). How did she learn about it? This will shock you: she GOOGLED it.

Now, we can't blame the internet for being such a vice, after all, if we were to take these privileges away, we would probably have more unhappiness then ever. The problem lies with what the parents are doing and what schools and the MEDIA is doing. Parental control and school discipline is another argument for another time.

If you've read all the way down here, you probably have the same sentiments as me or you just think what I say is either interesting or true. If you are a PAP supporter/member or an MP, then I'd say you are ready to screw me.

I hope I don't appear in the papers for this. =$
