10 things I can live without in 2008
By Pat Law • Dec 25th, 2007 • Category: The RestIn less than a week, the failure to meet any of our resolutions set a year ago will be finalized. While just about everyone on the Internet diligently compile the pages of their 2007 yearbooks with Best of the Best lists one after another, I thought I’ll do one based on things that should not have existed in the first place.
Enjoy this article. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
THINGS I CAN LIVE WITHOUT IN 2008 (in no order of preference)
1. Style eyeliner on teenage girls
Yes, Amy Winehouse and Cleopatra would both be proud. But can you concentrate on growing breasts first before you slap those thick, jet-black coats of eyeliners? Sure, feline eyes look gorgeous on women, but not on 15-year-old teenage girls. Urgh.
2. Eyeliner on teenage boys
Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy is a fucking pussy. So are you.
3. I am not a plastic bag bag
The fact that this became a fashion trend scares me.
4. Any more updates on Britney Spears
Or her now-pregnant sister, Jamie, for that matter. Now, why the fuck do we care?
5. Spending good money to rename a brand… with the same name
You did it first with Marina Bay. Now the Singapore Science Centre is called Science Centre, Singapore? Wow. How clever. I couldn’t have thought about that. Let’s not even start on The Budget Terminal.
6. Mocca ads
Memorable for being cheesy and cringe-worthy, no doubt. So well, if brand awareness was the objective, then I suppose the advertising has indeed been effective. But when I think of Mocca now, I think about that short fart of a beefy Chinese man in his zebra prints thong. How classy.
7. Spice Girls’ comeback
Why, not rich enough huh? Haven’t heard of Pussycat Dolls huh?
8. Ralph Lauren Big Pony mens polo navy shirts on fat butches
When a woman is unattractive, her sexuality gets questioned. Do you know why the Public thinks a woman is gay when she’s unattractive? It’s because of vertically-challenged, horizontally-expansive, fashion-deficient fat butches like you, who somehow think you look good in that Ralph Lauren Big Pony mens polo navy shirt. Please, for the sake of our lesbian community, throw that goddamn polo shirt out of your closet.
9. Dr. Thio Li-Ann
Living proof of how too much intelligence can make one ignorant.
10. Corporate videos by MDA
Just don’t, ok? It’s for the better of our country, trust me. I admire your guts, really, but the concept of this video… how should I say? WHAT FUCKING CONCEPT?!
NO WAY.
I concur with everything on the list beside point 7. I love the Spice Girls!
NO WAY to what, k?
Hey, start a threat on possible name for the Budget Terminal should it ever get opened up for a rebranding pitch.
Here are a few to start you off:
1. Cost-Conscious Carrers Terminal
2. Cheap & Good Terminal
3. No Frills Flying Terminal
4. No-Money-To-Fly-But-Still-Want-To-Fly Terminal
and my personal favourtie:
5. The Clients Terminal
haha.. i love the 4. No-Money-To-Fly-But-Still-Want-To-Fly Terminal
Hi Pat, no way to point 7!
Girl power lives on forever. -_- Aye sorry. I’m a true blue groupie.
Midnight’s Driver, hahahahahaha. I’m going with number 4 like kureinai. Who’s the client in charge?
k, ok, good on you, groupie.
