RIP OFF!
Heeeerrrggghhhh …
The weekend has not been so kind to me. Its got nothing to do with me going back to JB (that’s the saving grace of my weekend actually) but its got more to do with my favorite teams. First of all my beloved All Blacks got trashed by the Springboks AAARRGGHHH! It pains me to even say it man. This is the second straight loss and the Tri Nation is gone. Damn It. I just hope the Springboks will whip the Wallabies next week. I d rather the Springboks win then the bloody Wallabies. Give face to the Springboks la cause they ve been bad for quite some time. The second is cause the Red Devils loss to Chelsea that’s not too bad as its still early days. But my fantasy football team did nt do too well. Aisey although I am still new to it but then again nobody likes to perform badly.
Enough of that cause there is a more interesting topic that’s been playing in my mind for quite awhile. I wanted to post this article on Friday but I was too tied up with work. Its about the biggest rip off ever to happen on Malaysian TV. Yup if you are of the same wavelength as I am then you would have guessed it. I am talking about Akedemi Fantasia. Maybe some hardcore fanatics might detest this but I have no doubt in my mind that it’s a big scam. Before I go on just to make it clear I myself confess to watching it (watching yaa not voting astro will not get a cent from me on this!) and I admit that Zahid is a worthy winner. I am not trying to take anything away from had he not win that it further strengthens my point that the show is a big scam.
To me the biggest culprit of the show is Astro. They are really milking the profits from the public with the sms judging. Fair enough if they want to use it as a measuring stick for all the students all other shows use it eg Malaysian Idol,etc. But its all the hanky panky that they do on the show which really pisses me off. The scam started way earlier during the first three concerts when they decided against eliminating the students. Not only once did they do this but twice. Ok why I am saying that this is a big scam is because when people vote; they vote because they want to keep their students at the Akademi. Make sure they don’t get eliminated, so when Astro did their so called “kezutan“ of not eliminating any student they indirectly cheated the viewers through their sms. Doing it once maybe acceptable but twice that is too much man. Everyone should be aware of this, Astro makes tons of profit from the sms alone. Sms ok and I am not talking about profits from the sponsors and such. So just imagine how much they manage to cheat everyone with those 2 weeks of meaningless votes. Were you guilty of voting during those 2 weeks? I hope not.
Then there was the Linda issue. Again I like to point out that the students are all innocent in this matter its Astro which spoiled the whole thing with greed. How could Linda came back after being eliminated? Don’t tell me it was already planned. I got a strong feeling that was not the case. Not only did they manage to milk a further one week of viewers sms vote they also put the whole competition into jeopardy cause what’s the point of voting if such things can happen. Another reason might be because Linda is quite popular among those in Brunei. You see the people in Brunei are a rich lot so a few cents of votes mean nothing to them they can afford it. So I am guessing that Astro who recognize this wanted to get them back to vote. I really feel for her cause she is a victim of Astro’s greed. Together with Mas they have done nothing but yet they are being judge unfairly and to a certain extent reviled by the public.
Another reason might be because they wanted a lady winner. I have said this before even during the first AF “A girl will NEVER win AF!” Luckily Zahid won it if not it was a big time scam. Just think most of those who vote are girls. Guys who vote maybe faggots or so. Ok Ok la I take that back maybe not. My point is guys are less likely to vote the majority will be girls and who do girls vote for obviously those cute ones who can barely sing. Girls will seldom vote for other girls trust me this is simple logic. If not how could that Khai and Adam win??? I refuse to enter an argument about Khai being a singer you must be an idiot to think so, Adam is a carbon copy of one of the KRU singers. Like Paul Moss of the Malaysian Idol judge would say it’s a very Malaysian thing to do to copy other people’s style of singing. I totally agree with him. The whole point of a talent competition is to unearth new talents not produce the same thing. For the sweet love of God we don’t need another KRU la. To be fair to Adam he can dance a barely sing but honestly he didn’t deserve to win it.
Think about it what did the 3rd place guy won. Just rm 3 000 in cash (I am not sure of the other stuff he won) come on Astro don’t tell me you can not use those big amount of profit to give a creditable prize money it’s a joke man.
I got nothing against the show I can take it I can watch it I like the teachers I think Ramli MS is cool cause he’s honest but I just can not accept all the hanky panky Astro is doing. They did get the formula right but to me they over did it with being greedy.
