Mixed Feelings Part II


Last week, a high-speed car crash in Singapore involving a Ferrari, a Hyundai Sonata taxicab & (reportedly) a Honda Super 4 motorbike resulted in 3 deaths - a Chinese national who drove the Ferrari, the Chinese Singaporean taxi driver & his passenger, a Japanese woman.

Also injured in the horrific accident was the passenger in the Ferrari; a female Chinese national (who's quite badly wounded) & a Malay male/naughty brown boy type who rode the Super 4 (suspected spinal injury but in a stable condition, alive & kicking).

Well then, let's take a look at the statistics : Chinaman in Italian car - dead. Chinese dude in Korean car - dead. Japanese woman in Korean car - dead. Chinawoman in Italian car - seriously injured. Malay dude on Japanese motorbike - still rocking out.

An Italian-made USD$1.4 million supercar; a death-trap in Chinese hands!

SGD$3.20 starting fare proved fatal for Chinese driver & Jap woman passenger!

The Hoff approves!

So what is the moral of the story?

"You can't keep a brown man down."

Mixed Feelings Part I

The video below is that of 80s Malaysian pop-singer Raja Ema. She has a penchant for acting a little bit too cute for her age & her own good. She embodies everything that was kitschy & OTT about that particular era. Think Cyndi Lauper meets Hannah Montana meets Nicki Minaj. Yes, my brains bled too, from all that thinking.

So what has that got to do with the title of today's post?

Well, I don't know if I want to give her some candy or punch her in the face.


The Casiotone intro is the kind of stuff today's hipsters should be jizzing in their skinny khaki pants to. And if you watch the video until its blood-soaked, christ-impaling, virgin guts-ripping fiery finale, the pose at the end is also a classic. It's even more awesome than Quorthon of Bathory's infamous firebreathing picture. 

Awesome.
Not as awesome.

Now, this is what blew my mind & I'm pretty sure will blow yours too.

Raja Ema = 80s. Bathory = 80s. Therefore Raja Ema = Bathory.

Post-modernism & the Art of Posting Pictures That Say It All


Lest the PC police (or better still the REAL police, not the "Every Breath You Take" Police) get on my case; I am pro-Islam, I am just anti-Muslim. A message to rudie: Get your filthy hands off my religion.
