Yah Lah But

Last weekend, the organizers of a TEDx talk at S’pore Poly (SP) advised one of the speakers, local DJ Joshua Simon, to edit out references to LGBT themes which “might be sensitive”. He ended up cancelling his talk, pointing his fingers at SP, who pointed at MOE, who pointed at...SP. Sheesh. Who was wrong? Who was right? Elsewhere, a Korean ice cream ad for Baskin-Robbins that showed an 11-year-old...

If you’re born after 1982, YOU ARE SOFT. Or at least that’s how a bunch of Facebook comments responded to a recent commentary published by TODAY newspaper on today’s youth and their anxieties over job prospects and the value of degrees, if any. But are millennials really “soft” or are older generations the deluded ones? Elsewhere, Kim Kardashian is getting tons of backlash for calling her new line...

If you care more about the NOTRE DAME collapse than the current crisis in SUDAN, are you an ASSHOLE? A recent post about “selective empathy” by Naralle Kheng (from The Sam Willows) made us curious. Speaking of curious incidents, the third gay sex video apparently involving a politician leaks from Malaysia. In the age of DeepFakes and Face Swap filters, do our neighbours think this is still a good...

A Singaporean teacher has sexual relations with her 15-year male student and some netizens ridiculously celebrate the boy’s “conquest”. We discuss why that’s nothing but a f***ed symptom of “toxic masculinity” that could screw him up for life. We also try to understand the Malaysian singer who was caught keeping a sun bear cub in her house illegally after mistaking it for puppy (yes, a “dog”). Oh,...

The “Anti-Chope-ing Movement” was in the news lately and a recent poll showed Singaporeans to be split 50-50 on the topic. We debate the whole thing and come up with a brilliant way to stop it. We also cover the “bogus” SMU Professor who gave all 169 of his students “A” grades after becoming sick of grading them on a curve. Our "One Shiok Things" for this week! Chernobyl (2019) | Official Trailer...

What would YOU pay to keep your mum & dad alive when old, plus SG's first drive-by “shooting”. We cover a much-debated study on the costs for elderly Singaporeans to have a "basic standard of living" (which includes "needs" like bluetooth speaker, annual holidays, etc.) and a local man who made headlines around the world after he got fined SGD300 for "littering" when he shot 2 rubber bands int...

We cover Tosh Zhang's dramatic week and whether he needed to cry on video, before checking out Maybe.sg, a dodgy (and horribly-designed) website that offers 2-hour "dates" with Influencer-esque people for $60-$200 per date. Our "One Shiok Things" for this week! DJI's New "GoPro Killer"? https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/15/18622976/dji-osmo-action-hands-on-gopro-hero-7-black-camera Epic Charles Corn...

We wrap our heads around not just 2 but FOUR recent happenings - the latest initiative to stop the onslaught of "Peeping Toms" at NUS, Bubble Tea lovers and their (apparent) insecurities, an evil genius who tried to use his ex-gf's Instagram to get laid AND the unexpected item seen at the bottom of the ocean during deepest sea dive ever done. Say hello to MOF!

We discuss the recent OOPSIE by Michelle Chong and our dear K Shanmugam about a ridiculously important issue, and why slurping in Japan is under threat.

We discuss (read: freak out) Facebook's new dating app called Secret Crush that could be yet another way they're gonna take over our lives, and why Lionel Messi could be more like the Devil of Football instead of it's God.

We discuss the state of sexual harassment in Singapore, the case of Monica Baey vs. Nicholas Lim and NUS, and why dog owners are OK with being licked by their dogs but not-so-OK being licked by people. Or at least some people. Say hello to us!
