Radio Edits

Since it's World Cup fever season, let me dedicate a portion of this here to that hallowed event. There was a competition on some radio station recently. The deejays were wondering if Malaysia finally gets to host the WC for once, what would be an appropriate mascot. (ya, some of you who noticed would realise that this is a nice fantasy=p but there's something funnier if you read on..)
1st fella who called in had a standard one - the orang utan. Ok, not too bad..KIV
2nd person - hornbill. Ok lar..next!
3rd person - Rafflesia. Ok...wait, WAIT! What's all this about East Malaysia? (actually, I think maybe that's not the point..rafflesia is this really HUGE flower that stinks to high heaven and attracts flies..since when was a flower a candidate for a mascot?!)
4th person decides to stick with animals - sun bear. Hmm, sun bear? I could practically visualise the DJs scratching their heads=) Later on, a few other callers who claimed to have intimate knowledge of Malaysia's fauna confirm that such an animal can be found in Malaysia.
5th person acts smart and tries to try something radical - eagle. Ok, that's not so bad. Except that she forgot that it's not really inherent to Malaysia or is representative of Malaysia. When the DJs kindly pointed that out she was really offended. Along the way the Bald Eagle of America was mentioned, thus effectively ending the discussion. Her reply? "Oh, I didn't know that!" Ok..how lame can that be? Nevermind..
Umpteenth caller - "hello, is this XX radio? Hi, I'm XX. I would like to suggest something...(suspense)...how about the pirated VCD seller?" Ok, this is where everybody "laughed their backsides off", as sorty usually puts it. He continues, "with matching accessories like a bag full of the latest VCDs and a pirated FIFA football in his hand!" HAHA! Hilarious..imagine that..seriously, that is not a bad idea. Unless China beats us to it~
Clearly the last caller got the prize. A good suggestion if you asked me. BRAVISSIMO!
Maybe more steps should be taken to prevent such things from happening (copied from XX contoh karangan).
I have a suggestion on how to prevent such a thing from happening. It's really good and practiced frequently by certain quarters with excellent results. Do NOTHING! Yes, that's right, do nothing. =) This would mean that we will never be eligible to join the WC, much less host it. There..by not creating this situation, the pirated VCD seller mascot will never come to be. Cool?=P
