Yah Lah But

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? Our "One Shiok Things" for this week!

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”? Our "One Shiok Things" for this week!

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: Help Sudan!  How to help Sudan: 7 things you can do right now for a country in crisis https://www.fastcompany.com/90363335/sudan-massacre-how-to-help-7-things-from-gofundme-to-unicef  How to Help Sudan: A Country In Crisis http://www.papermag.com/how-to-help-sudan-2638804259.html  As Sudan Faces Political Upheaval & A Food Crisis, Here’s How To Help https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/06/235515/sudan-political-food-crisis-how-to-help   Our "One Shiok Things" for this week!

A Singaporean teacher has sexual relations with her 15-year male student and some netizens ridiculously celebrate the boy’s “conquest”. We discuss why that’s nothing but a f***ed symptom of “toxic masculinity” that could screw him up for life. We also try to understand the Malaysian singer who was caught keeping a sun bear cub in her house illegally after mistaking it for puppy (yes, a “dog”). Oh, and it was apparently malnourished because she didn’t feed it well either. Bleah. Our "One Shiok Things" for this week!

The “Anti-Chope-ing Movement” was in the news lately and a recent poll showed Singaporeans to be split 50-50 on the topic. We debate the whole thing and come up with a brilliant way to stop it. We also cover the “bogus” SMU Professor who gave all 169 of his students “A” grades after becoming sick of grading them on a curve. Our "One Shiok Things" for this week!

What would YOU pay to keep your mum & dad alive when old, plus SG's first drive-by “shooting”. We cover a much-debated study on the costs for elderly Singaporeans to have a "basic standard of living" (which includes "needs" like bluetooth speaker, annual holidays, etc.) and a local man who made headlines around the world after he got fined SGD300 for "littering" when he shot 2 rubber bands into the air on the way to his car.

We wrap our heads around not just 2 but FOUR recent happenings - the latest initiative to stop the onslaught of "Peeping Toms" at NUS, Bubble Tea lovers and their (apparent) insecurities, an evil genius who tried to use his ex-gf's Instagram to get laid AND the unexpected item seen at the bottom of the ocean during deepest sea dive ever done.   Say hello to MOF!
