When: a Wednesday About 2months ago
Where: Birdcage, USM
Who: Me, K- & W-
How: Pen, paper, a stamp and 3 creative brains
What: We read Youth Big Bro and decided to write in with our own fabricated problem.
Why: We were bored
Yesterday in The Star, it came out, and is the chosen one to be discussed on air, red 104.9 Sunday at noon.
I dunno how to put in links to the online Star one, but its entitled Torn Between Two Guys.
So was it a bad thing to do? My mom says i was robbing someone who actually has a problem the chance for help.
It was likened to prank calling Befrienders and telling them you want to comit suicide.
Sigh.
I can't see what's the big deal, and i can justify it in so many ways. But maybe that's the problem.

It's just a bit of fun. Agony aunt vandalism ain't so bad.

But Thai?? Shoulda said Irish or somethin.
;)

i think it was quite hilarious because it sounds exactly like the stuff on BigBro anyway. The only potential give away was the Thai bit..
it also seems funny that they'll be talking abt on air.. so if i were you, i would feel bad but not tooooo bad.
haha.
boo~ haha!! lazy wanna read so spam u and drop by to say HI!!! after a long 1 year or more i think hehe!! take care ^^
Haha.. Wat's wrong with Thai dudes?? Now assuming everyone ELSE who writes in is genuinely in a fix- I'd be feeling bad.. Still, at least this week's problem will benefit all ladies out there who are dating Thai dudes..
Of course, there's also the thirteen year old girl who wrote in this week who's torn between this hunky-good-looking-athletic guy and the funny-kinda-dorky-sincere-nice guy and REALLY needs big bro to sort her life out for her...
Haha...
Well Rudi-pooh, if i had said Irish, there'd be no problem cause we all know how asians kow-tow to the white man, her friends would be in awe and bless the union.
But Thais on the other hand... HAHAHA.. joke joke..
The reason why we used Thai is cause the story is very loosely based on the friend that i wrote it with, W-, who has 100% Thai blood, but is 100% Malaysian. Cool eh?
How ironic that the Thai thing you all pointed out as giveway is totally true!
Eric- Hallo..yeah man, must be about a year plus. Cant remember the last time i saw you. Hope you're keeping your temper ;p
no worries about keeping anyone with real problems out cos they would have commited suicide because they take 2 months to publish stuff!!!.....most problems there are trivial teenage crap anyway...plus star is a stupid newspaper in the first place...
ok ok la..hehe!! as usual didnt blast off lor.. xD
It doesn't matter if the stuff in Big Bro is crap or trivial or whatever. That's not the issue here.
The bottomline is, it should not have been done in the first place.
You guys may think it's just a joke and just laugh it off. But no. You should know what things you can joke about, what things you shouldn't.
It just isn't right to do something like that. Period.
