now we bloggers are grumblestiltskin
Post on Mar.14, 2007
oh great! after being labeled as liars and one who dislike national unity, now we have another not so famous person (but still a famous name) person heaping labels on us.
"The local blogosphere is the domain of life-challenged grumblestiltskins and disenfranchised pundits whose asinine maunderings only show why they should never have had day jobs in the first place.
"Rumour, inuendo, half-truths and damned lies are their stock-in-trade, and previously sacrosanct standards, principles and ethics are now laughable."Are they not entitled to their opinion? Of course they are, as much as everyone is entitled to ignore them. I would venture, however, that everyone has an opinion and a rectum, and not that many seem capable of telling one from the other."
this came from journalist, rehman rashid. you can read his full article in the NST online. no, i did not came across his article from NST (i don’t read that new shit times, see) but came to know of it via rocky’s bru blog.
oh well, since he is not a minister in the government, his opinion doesn’t really matter, as after all, yes, rehman rashid has a rectum too. i’m bringing this up because i was amused by his reference of bloggers. the ‘powderful’ engrish, the names… oh the rectum.
susan loone had taken upon herself to translate rehman’s powderful engrish for us here.

Don’t forget that the blogosphere includes their blog as well. And they have rectums too.
lucia: oh you mean the monsters.

Wait, I don’t get it…is he also condemning Monsterbloggers as well? Because that is their pet project too. Its nice to know that paradoxes and contradictions have their air of amusement.
lucia: yep, so it seems so.

Too bad rehman rashid’s rectum was not struck by lightning last weekend. Must remember to send an email to God upstairs to be more accurate with His lightning bolts the next time around. A fried rectum could do wonders to rehman rashid’s brain.

Another NST-hasbeen being revitalised, or isit re-incarnated?
My, mine — what huge ego — to match his bloating rectum which is oxygen-deprived to te extent that he’s abusing the English folklore as a fork-toingued uses anal orifice to braethe as if Global warming has heated up his grey cells they don’t work no more? Pethaps a brain transplantation from one of the local universities’ med students is in order, crumbledredorblackskin?

I guess the guy’s just a media prostitute, not a real journalist – he writes whatever his paymasters instruct him to write. Who’s he calling "life-challenged grumblestiltskins and disenfranchised pundits".
I’m a well-educated professional person with a family and a successful career. I visit blogosphere because its the only place I can read news and opinions on this country which hasn’t been spun and sanitized 10x to meet the authorities version of events.
Its the National Slander Times which is full of half-truths and filtered stories.
lucia: yeah… and don’t forget the NST has a blog too… so are they also slandering their own bloggers?

my humble thoughts here.

Rehman Rashid has shown to the citizen at large that he can never be trusted now as he had sold his soul and integrity for fame and fortune.
As a Muslim, he should be ashamed of himself as he had failed to abide by the teaching of the prophet.

Bloggers always get a bad wrap. So every blogger is labeled as being a pajama writer. Haiz…

you know jokers like him are never very original … I do wonder whether he read my A Malaysian Fairy Tale (2) – Rumpelstiltskin http://ktemoc.blogspot.com/2007/01/malaysian-fairy-tale-2-rumpelstiltskin.html and …

lucia: oh you mean like he had no choice to please his bosses so had to write something critical thus made it sound humorous so that bloggers won’t feel so bad?
