THE SUN!!!!!!!

I love the British. Not very much but more than the Americans. They gave the world Beetles, Craig David and Blue. They have created/invented numerous sports(cricket,soccer and the list goes on) and gave the world a Beautiful language -English which has certainly bridged gaps and ensured Singaporeans could still be understood by our Western friends but our Western friends are still baffled by our Singlish and have difficulties coming to terms with it. I definitely have problems understanding the English Lingo and slang as the phrases are not exactly you come across in a English dictionary. As much as I love them, I also hate their arrogance and their colonisim where they have benefitted from their conquests.

I just came back from Bangkok yesterday(will do the updating very soon) and I bought the Sun paper from Bangkok aiport bookstore. I just wanted to check out if the English tabloid was really that notorious for its nonsensical and rubbish stories and its clinical dissection of celebrites' lives and it lived up to its billing. The usual page 3 bullshit which features topless models(i don't fancy English models) and crappy stories dominated the Sun.

I guess the newspaper satisfies their readers' lust for juciy stories and anything that involves sex, murder and celebs are certain to make it to the Sun. These are sadly the trademarks of possibly the best selling paper in the world. Readers sadly do not want to hear about mother theresas of the world dedicating their lives to voluteerism and instead they will rather see the Parises, Nicoles and Jessica Simpsons partying away in some of the many high-profile events and it will certainly be a treat for male readers to see their pictures of scantily clad famous celebs and showing off their real and fake assets. I do want my ideal newspaper to have a bit of gossip and serious issues but I guess that's ideal of me to ask for a ideal newspaper!!
