“Like That Also Can Ah?!!”

Here’s a Good Way to Get Mentioned in the Newspapers

Published by simon on May 26, 2005

Dress up as Darth Vader and flash yourself (yes, as in expose yourself naked) at a group of ladies waiting at the bus-stop. Better yet, flash yourself at a newspaper reporter and photographer.

Here’s another tip. Choose a slow news day. You don’t want to go to all that trouble to dress up and risk being arrested, hoping to make the front page of the Star, only to be pushed to page 3 by the Perodua Myvi launch.

And make sure you choose your victims. The last thing you want to hear when you flash at them is:

  • “Oh dear, what a *tiny* ‘lightsabre’!”

  • “OK girls, remember what I taught you in KARATE class, let’s take down this PERVERT!!!”

  • “Woohoo! The male stripper for my bridal shower is finally here! Shake that moneymaker!!!”

  • “Finally, Lord Vader, I have been waiting for you all these years…WHOOSH (sound of blue lightsabre shooting up)”

(If you still don’t understand, read today’s Star…)

    HOHOHO, Simon, this morning when I was browsing through the paper and saw that piece of news, the first thing that came to my mind is :
    Hey, Simon just blogged about Malaysians having too much Star Wars fever and this takes the cake!

    Sure enough, you got some funny ideas - again.

  6. Simon Said,

    anjali - just watch out for this Darth Pervert.

    shan - tried to switch to herbal tea last week, didn’t work!

    keng - ah yes, congrats to all red fans…

    fahruddin - not a good idea to be nekkid in front of luke with a lightsabre!

    5xmom - ok, ok i promise i will slow down on the SW blogs…
