Yet another protest by the rakyat to get the government’s notice. The protest ‘gathering’ has been planned since the government announced the new price of oil and the amount of subsidy that people are getting. I read it a few days after the announcement at Malaysiakini.net and now it’s coming to life.

Thousands of protesters, six-car lanes wide and about 100 metres long, are now on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman heading towards the Petronas Twin Towers. The road has been closed to traffic. The police are keeping a close watch of the situation and have yet to make any move to break up the assembly. A police helicopter is also observing the proceedings from the sky.

Let’s see where it goes!

 Yes they are. Malaysians are getting these stupid ads shoved into their brain without their knowing it. I won’t stand against this stupidity anymore. Who does these big company’s think they are? Creating stupid ads trying to ‘lure’ people into buying their product. I am mad because of this. Do they think that many Malaysians are stupid enough to buy into their cheap ideas of advertisement?

If they’re only one ad that is proving itself to be stupid, i won’t mind. But, there are a couple of ads out there that is soooooooo stupid that it doesn’t make sense. Let me take you through what ads am i referring to and what i think about it.

1. Pizza Hut. I don’t have anything against the food or their service but i’m quite mad at their new stupid ad that is showing their new ‘economically priced meal’ (forgot the name la). The ads starts off by Mom putting a bowl of fried rice on the table, then the Son says, “Morning fried rice, night fried rice” (in a kind of whining wussy ranting), then, the Mom will say, “that’s all we can afford (making a sad stupid fucking face). Then, her BRILLIANT daughter suggested to the family about the new pizza hut menu that has ‘economically priced meals’. Then, the whole family goes to pizza hut and each of them ordered it. Then, the mom, in a stupid annoyingly stupid and stupid (did i say stupid?),braggingly said, ” No more fried rice”.WTF?! Eating at pizza hut is cheaper than cooking fried rice ha? What’s in the fried rice mommy?? Abalone?? Extinct Dodo bird?? WTF?!!!! Eating in Pizza Hut is cheaper than cooking fried rice is it?? Dumbass.

2. Rexona Deodorant. Well, i don’t use rexona’s deodorant but i sure came across their ad a couple of times. The advertisement is just PLAIN dumb. The main character would ask a civilian(not a REAL one) about what she think of her current deodorant. There are two parts to this one ad and i’m going to explain both of the ad’s stupidity to you. First, the women would say,”It takes forever for the deodorant to dry up and i would do stupid things to make it dry faster” (in a whining, bitchy,complaining,asking for a cock kind of way). I would love to slap the women and the main character at that time. Then, the main character would tell the viewers about the problem that the second ‘civilian’ has which sounds like this,”Miss Stupid Bitch here has a problem regarding her deodorant. Her deodorant kept her coming late to her office” . I was like WTF! when i heard this. WTF?! Can’t you get a better idea than that? Fire your marketing people Rexona!!

Yeap. That’s the 2 proof why i think that these big companies are thinking that Malaysians are stupid. They want to make the ads ’simpler’ for Malaysians to understand. But, the only thing that they managed to gain from putting ’simple’ ads like that is showing that they’re stupid and don’t have good workers to think about their next ad campaign. I hate you stupid ads!!!

Yeap. I finished reading Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows after a week and a half from the day that i bought it. I bought it after almost a year that it was released! Heh.  I know, It’s sure is a long time to finish reading a book that only has a total page of 607. But, i got a lot of things to do. I’m a busy boy! (mostly sleeping :P).

**If You Haven’t Read The Book. DO NOT continue reading here.SPOILER WARNING**

The storyline of the book is amazingly written. The way that JK tells you the story is surely mesmerizing . The plot is woven perfectly . She is able to make a complicated situation seems simple and understandable. Her words make you want to continue reading and sure to intrigue you to continue eventhou the clock is already at 4 in the morning.

Well, back to the book. Well, there are some parts of the book that i’m not so keen of. For starters, the earlier chapters are pretty slow. JK seems to linger on the few chapters earlier.  Don’t know why though, maybe she wants her readers to keep on guessing what will happen next. Other than that, the end of the book is seem somewhat rushed. The war between the Hogwart’s Students with Voldermort is not written with details. Maybe she don’t want to confuse people up. But, even with these ‘flaws’ the book is enjoyable, especially if you’re a fan of Harry Potter.

There are a lot, and i do mean, a LOT, of character that died in this book. Early on, I was surprised to know that Harry’s owl, Hedwig died. Well, Hedwig doesn’t have any lines in the book or movies but still, a character died. Mad-Eye Moody also died early on in the book. George(one of the Weasely twin),Tonks,Lupin, Severus Snape and a couple others died during the war against Voldermolt.

In the last few pages of the book, it shows the story of Harry Potter 19 years after he defeated Voldermolt. In the scene, he was sending his own son, James, to his first year of Hogwarts. Harry is married to Ginny while Ron is married to Hermione.I do think that they will be a story based upon Harry’s son but that’s just I’m thinking.Heh.  JK managed to tie the loose knots perfectly in this book.

LOL. I sound like a stupid fan-boy writing this post. But what the hell, i LIKE Harry Potter!!
