What the hell is wrong with the Bintang?



OK... Just like millions and millions of Malaysians out there, I depend on the Bintang daily to know what's happening in the country and also the world, as I feel that they are way better compared to other dailies around.

News articles were informative, straight to the point, had credibility, and the news were actually relevant; the kind of news you and me would give a fuck about.

However, I don't know what the fuck went wrong along the way... the amount of crappy news is slowly, but surely increasing. Not like there are no issues or relevant events to be covered. At least blow up some pictures and fill up the pages la... that seems to be the secret of success for many world class tabloids out there now.

Why am I saying that they're getting crappier?

These are some of the mindblowing stories that appeared in the duration of four days:

Bintang says:

"Kidnapped businessman 'Bangsar Shan' who happens to be an extortionist himself, is believed to be dead".

Swami-Ji says:

Who the fuck is Bangsar Shan? and Who the fuck cares?

Bintang says:

"Tug-of-love son not coming back for Raya"

"X's" hopes of seeing her six-year-old son, who was whisked away by his father six months ago, during Hari Raya were dashed when her husband expressed that there was “no way” he would return him.The 34-year-old teacher said she was very upset that computer programmer "Y", was adamant on not bringing back "Z" to Malaysia even when told he had defied a court order.

Swami Ji says:

Do I look like I give a shit? I have my own family to worry about la...

Bintang says:

"A KINDERGARTEN teacher who took her feverish pet squirrel to the veterinary clinic had her breasts allegedly groped by the veterinarian instead, reported another world class press. According to the world class daily, the veterinarian had asked the 27-year old woman to place the squirrel inside her blouse to keep it warm given its “erratic body temperature”.

The veterinarian, the report said, saw the woman’s breasts while helping her remove the squirrel and started praising her figure. He then allegedly told the victim to take care of her body and “beautiful breasts”.

The squirrel died shortly after returning home.

Swami Ji says:

VERY FUCKING IMPORTANT LA NOW
