Omg I've been blogging for 3 consecutive days !!!
I just feel damn bersemangat to blog lately !!!
*Two hours later*
I've just lost my semangat-ness because i just watched a very racist advertisement in Facebook about Ramadan festival by 8TV.
The ad was about the 'buka puasa' bazaar and it showed a Chinese girl acting loud, too friendly, greedy, eating in public and wearing tight revealing clothings in front of all the "angelic" Malays. What the HELL was 8TV thinking ??? Who the HELL approved such ad ??? And how the HELL did they have the balls to air it !!!???
It has racism written allover it.
The way they portrayed Chinese in the ad is damn offending because how could they use a Chinese in their Ramadan ad? Why couldn't they use their own race to spread the message of respecting the Ramadan? If a Malay was cast to act disrespecting in a Deepavali or CNY ad, how to do you think Malays would react? The same damn way we Chinese are reacting towards this 8TV Ramadan ad !!!
You know Malaysia the "peaceful" country with many different races living together in "harmony"? It's all bullshit because 8TV just proved its all bullshit by approving of such racist ad. They removed the ad after people started to respond and published an "apology" for it.
The problem is, their "apology" was NOT an apology.
They were playing the blame-game.
"It is with much regret that there were misinterpretations in the PSA that were meant to serve only as a message of respect for the Ramadhan month. The message was not meant to offend anyone, race or creed in any way. This is an honest mistake involving a very small amount of humour that was misinterpreted which led to concerns"
An Honest Mistake?
A Very Small Amount of Humour??
Was Misinterpreted???
SERIOUSLY !!???
Are they seriously trying to say the public is making a big deal out of the ad?
Are they seriously trying to say its supposed to be a funny ad?
Are they seriously trying to avoid responsibility of their stupid decision?
This just spoiled my night because i was planning on blogging about a new stage play in UCSI this coming Friday and its newly opened cafe and European bread stall but this issue just ruined everything.
A sneak peak
