Let's Do The News! (October 9, 2012)

Okay, time now for the news and big news today because the Supreme Court announced that by an unanimous decision, the SC issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to put an end to the mostly-feared  Anti-Cybercrime Law.

Wait...The Supreme Court stopped the Anti-Cybercrime Law?

Well, yes. They did.

(cheers and applause)

So, this is power to the people! The Cybercrime Law issues finally put to the coffin thanks to the Supreme Court. I'm very impressed that these guys really know how to think before they act. I'm really impressed that we can breathe happy and cock about some TG-style stuff because the Supreme Court really put the end of this nightmare!

Yeah, but do be so happy just yet.

Why?

Well...um...I don't know. Even though our Supreme Court friends stopped the Cybercrime Law doesn't mean we have to celebrate. Who knows? They'll be back with even bigger consequences.

Oh...So, do you think those Facebookers going to swap back their profile pics and covers from black to color?

Well, I think this is the right time.

(cheers and applause)

It really is the right time to do it! Now anyway, have you guys heard the news? There was a car crash somewhere in Jalan Haji Ahmad 1 in the city of Kuantan in the direction of Semambu...

Which was in Malaysia, right?

Yes. And I've just heard that this accidents involved two Nissan GT-Rs, which Edaran Tan Chong never brought one, must have bought it somewhere in Singapore, or must have been smuggled by a Malaysian...

(audience laughing)

..anyway, about four people were killed and the two of the four dead people on that kind of car accident in Malaysia were...and if you're sitting down (laughing)...GT-R owners!

(huh?)

Who are they?

Let's see...hmmm...they were...the driver of the Dark Grey Nissan GT-R, Tan Kah Yong (24 years old), passenger Bao Shanshan sitting in the front (26 years old from Liaoning, China), the driver of the White Nissan GT-R Go Haw Wei (20 years old) and passenger Koay Khor Liang (21 years old), also passenger in the front.

Sounds a bit Chinese as described but I felt pity for those who smuggled a car not available in Malaysia and this is what they get. That's a golden rule. Don't smuggle a car not available at your country or you might wind up in such a serious trouble...

(audience laughing)

That's a top tip! (laughing)

Okay okay...enough laughing now because time now for the sad news. We just heard that famed director Marilou Diaz Abaya has passed away last night at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Taguig at the age of 57 after a long battle with breast cancer.

Who was she?

She's a director of such famed Filipino films such as Jose Rizal, Muro Ami, Sa Pusod ng Dagat, Brutal, and Moral.

Wait...She made Muro Ami? The one with the kids have gone fishing?

Yep...in an illegal way. They were...reef-hunters. True to its name. That film portrays young kids, well they were on an illegal child labor (which is a crime), doing illegal fishing practice. I think you should watch that film and you'll see why did the poor kids lost their future by ruining the environment. You should see that...

Uh...where do I find that film?

It's up to you...

(audience laughing)

Anyway, an anime and video game magazine called NewType held this year's Newtype Anime Awards and hey, you may never guess who'd made it on that award.

So, you're saying is that such titles like THE IDOLM@STER, Fate/Zero, the K-ON! movie, and others were on the list?

Yes. And no wonder THE IDOLM@STER snagged a lot of awards from NewType. That really is a bombshell!

Right and on that bombshell, that's the news. Tomorrow, we'll check out the demo for the upcoming Forza Horizon video game. It's Forza, only even more of a free roaming racing game for the party animals.
