At least pretend you didn't try to keep up..
SEX. Got your attention didn't I? Now you wanna read the whole post :P It's like every time there's the word 'Sex' on the front page of the newspaper, you just have to read it. Even magazines use the same method to sell. Take a trip to your local bookstore and just scan through the covers of different magazines. Most of them, especially female magazines, will mention something about sex. (Female magazines like to put quizzes too 'How hot is your sex?' 'Are you in the right relationship? Take this quiz to find out!' 'Is he cheating on you?') Today's malay mail had 'let's talk about SEX' in big bold words on its front page. Of course I had to check it out. lol I was reading the article till I came across the line "she insisted she would rather wait for her wedding night to get her cherry popped"- what kind of language is that?? Cherry popped? I had no idea why, but it just felt so wrong reading those words in print. I mean use it in movies, conversation and stuff, but printing it in a newspaper? haha I don't know. Like how I find some things extremely funny, but other things not. Like shock sites. Show me a person who laughs at goatse/tubgirl etc and I'll show you a friend worth keeping. lol Anyways, 1 more week+ to go before I move on to the next part of my life (I'm leveling up!)- still undecided between work and studies. Most probably I'll end up working. But you'll never know. I'll never know. I haven't done this in awhile- music! Brand New's album "The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me" will be releasing soon. Fans all over the world will be shitting in their pants when this comes out. I know I will! Damien Rice's new album "9" has leaked. Nacho Libre's soundtrack is pretty good. +44's album has leaked (pretty good, much better than Angels & Airwaves IMO) Dave Melillo- "the next Dashboard confessional". Look out for this guy, his debut EP is splendid. MCR's The Black Parade is a pretty good album- IF you're a fan of '3 cheers'. I am :P Nightmare Before Christmas was recently re-released, with a remastered soundtrack and a bonus disc featuring Nightmare Before Christmas songs remade by Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, Marilyn Manson, and I forgot one more person. So far I've only heard the FOB track, and I think they did a pretty good job of remaking 'What's this?' Cobra Starship's album has leaked- pretty good album, a whole mix of different styles that Gabe Saporta knows how to pull off. Interesting album. Senses Fail's came out awhile ago, not as good as their previous release, but a good attempt nevertheless. More 'ballad' style songs that SF aren't known for, but very enjoyable. And did I mention Brand New's album is coming soon?!?! --------------- EDIT: I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed: Leaders slam newspaper's article on sex- the Star. Some of the points were quite stupid though, i.e. Najib said the newspaper should not have carried such articles that “elaborate in detail” sex positions just to make profit at the expense of public interest. Doesn't every other form of media? It's called marketing.. Kamarudin said that the newspaper had highlighted cheap sex and promiscuity. Well the newspaper sure as hell didn't instill it- its in society- the newspaper merely 'highlighted' it. Shahrizat also said the media should be more responsible in reporting about "things that are best left at home or in the bedroom” and which were “too private and intimate." Shouldn't she be blaming the people who were surveyed instead? It's not like the newspaper would have things to write about if the people surveyed never gave them those answers. Albeit the article was written crudely, I doubt it had bad intentions. It wasn't misinforming the public, and nobody said you had to believe everything you read anyway. Or maybe the Star just wanted to attack the Malay Mail.. lol Listening to Brand New - Okay, I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't |
