Yah Lah But

Huawei has had a shitty year so far and their hot streak continues with their recent National Day phone promotion. Stocks ran out before stores even opened, causing mayhem and disappointment for thousands of people who queued up as early as 10pm the night before. Even the police had to show up with machine guns! Was it a miscalculation, is Huawei that idiotic, or was it all part of the plan? In other news, famous comedian-DJ Dennis Chew appears in an ad that takes CMIO to the next level - with him playing appearing as a Chinese, Malay, Indian AND Eurasian. And the ad’s for an e-payment solution endorsed by the SG Govt. Whyyyyyyyyy? It’s 20-freaking-19 guys.

A new content creator by the name of "Sneaky Sushii" made a (very) satirical video on the YouTube scene in SG BUT it got copyright claimed by N.O.C., one of the "big channels" referred to in the video. Why? 'Cos they got too salty? Or could there be other reasons? We didn’t dive into the drama of it (‘cos there’s enough drama online already) but we talk about what it means to create content and put it out in the world for free (and maybe get shat on). In other news about non-free stuff, James Dyson of vacuum cleaner fame recently bought a $100 million 10,000 sqft “super penthouse” in Singapore. Why? Or why NOT?

Last weekend, the organizers of a TEDx talk at S’pore Poly (SP) advised one of the speakers, local DJ Joshua Simon, to edit out references to LGBT themes which “might be sensitive”. He ended up cancelling his talk, pointing his fingers at SP, who pointed at MOE, who pointed at...SP. Sheesh. Who was wrong? Who was right? Elsewhere, a Korean ice cream ad for Baskin-Robbins that showed an 11-year-old girl eating ice cream (and only that) was deemed to “sexual”. It was pulled off, and Baskin-Robbins issued an apology. Why? Or why not? Should kids even be in ads? Or does milk and ice cream mean different things in different cultures?

If you’re born after 1982, YOU ARE SOFT. Or at least that’s how a bunch of Facebook comments responded to a recent commentary published by TODAY newspaper on today’s youth and their anxieties over job prospects and the value of degrees, if any. But are millennials really “soft” or are older generations the deluded ones? Elsewhere, Kim Kardashian is getting tons of backlash for calling her new line of shapewear “Kimono” and even trying to trademark the name. Is she that clueless, or is she a genius? ‘Cos didn’t someone once say that “all publicity is good publicity”?

If you care more about the NOTRE DAME collapse than the current crisis in SUDAN, are you an ASSHOLE? A recent post about “selective empathy” by Naralle Kheng (from The Sam Willows) made us curious. Speaking of curious incidents, the third gay sex video apparently involving a politician leaks from Malaysia. In the age of DeepFakes and Face Swap filters, do our neighbours think this is still a good way to take down politicians?

In any case, what’s happening now in Sudan is HORRIBLE. And everyone should know about it and help in any way possible. Here are some links to get you started:
