Ulasan
Seperti yang saya jangkakan, Berita Harian bukan akhbar untuk masyarakat. Sebaliknya, ia memasyarakatkan unsur-unsur kurang sihat yang kebanyakannya jelas diambil dari pengaruh barat. Bukan sahaja ia menyampaikan, malah, dalam tulisannya ia juga cuba merasionalkan (rationalise) unsur-unsur demikian supaya lebih mudah ‘ditelan’ oleh masyarakat.
(Oh, kononnya filem ini “mencungkil masalah rumah [...]

Lowdown on Hannah Montana

29 Apr 2008 – 10:02 am

This is your child’s ‘innocent’ 15-year-old Disney Channel idol:

Before the shoot:
“I think it’s really artsy. It wasn’t in a skanky way. Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought that was really cool. That’s what she wanted me to do, and you can’t say no to Annie.”
Completely unabashed. And knowing that this will appear [...]

How low would you go?

14 Dec 2007 – 1:24 am

How low must one go just to sell deodorant body sprays? The following is one of the latest in the ongoing series of media mindfucks:

Now read the lyrics (excerpted) like you couldn’t see the tasteless filth coming:
It invades a woman’s mind.
Her limbic region goes insane.
She’ll start aching for a man

Desensitisation

9 Sep 2007 – 11:04 am

Ah, ‘desensitisation’, that’s the word. I’ve been writing about it and saying it in a long winded way, but now, thanks to doing research for my school project, I’ve found the word again.
Repeated exposure to negative elements, for example, portrayals of violence, lewdness, and absurd behaviour, can desensitise a person towards those elements. One [...]

Malay/Muslim French kissing?

26 Jul 2007 – 1:30 am

Watch:

Read:

Kissing scene now on YouTube (Excerpt from The Malay Mail)
Local Actress French Kiss?

First and foremost, the most important question: why should I care?

The critic’s dilemma

22 Jul 2007 – 3:13 am

My writings against (the culture of) lewdness thus far have made me thought and reflect a great deal. The war I am waging against the proliferation of lewdness and the tolerant attitude towards it seems endless. As I continue to discover new materials that prove the depravity of this culture, it worries me to know [...]

Haven’t you heard? HIV doesn’t cause AIDS

1 Jul 2007 – 3:30 am

This 2-hour documentary exposes the myths surrounding AIDS (primarily, that AIDS is not caused by HIV), the failings of the ongoing battle against AIDS, and the vile deception that has been perpetrated for so long about it.

(Watch on Google Video)
It’s appalling to learn that politicians as well as scientists have been lying to defend [...]
