Media Pimps & Whores.

*Deep breath*

Everyday I read news of all sorts being reported. The Singapore F1 blah blah blah...Lewis Hamilton and his pussy dolls GF...The blah blah wedding of C Lee and F Wong...Ms blah blah Zhang and her BFF hairstylist not being served cos boutique IS CLOSING...Ms Singlish Low and her credit cards blah blah blah...

Seriously, how much media filth are lining today's headlines?

The blatant glamourising of celebrities' lives, senseless worshipping of wealth and over-coverage of 'dirty linens' news are getting to be an eyesore. 'Freedom of Speech' is one thing while feeding media trash is another. The line is blurring and I wonder what is the basis of media ethnics nowadays. To make-believe, to influence or juz purely to sell figures?

Maybe it's the 'demand versus supply' symptoms. When there are 'willing' readers, there will be 'trying' writers. More readers, less news, more shit. Therefore I consciously select my reading materials, though there are times when the 'devilish' covers or headlines are juz too hard to ignore. These reporters should self-regulate their works and maybe be a lit more socially responsible, other than amplifying those insubstanstial characters or happenings. Prolonged mental poisoning can be highly devastating to ignorant minds.

If Singapore is the one hit by floods or earthquake now, Ms F Wong would be swimming in her Indian-themed gown...with Riz Low telling RazorTV how the earthquake 'boomz' her. And that bloody sissy botak hairstylist will complain again how his Ms BFF Zhang cannot shop cos all boutiques are flooded.

Give me a break.
