“Terdampar”? I was Thinking More of “TERDAMPRAT” or “TERTAMPAR”

Remember when I said that Indonesia won’t beat any country anytime soon in creativity? Apparently my statement clarifies itself after I saw what appears to be the Indonesian copy of the hit TV-show “LOST”. Yes, we should’ve seen it coming.

As I said in Twitter earlier this evening, the “creators” of this TV series is a bunch of fags. Worthless fags. What else do you want to copy next, huh? Heroes? 30 Rock? Fringe? 24? What did you say? You guys have no brains? Well of course you don’t.

Why do stupid assholes keep on copying movies and TV shows like this? It’s simple, stupid TV programs lead to stupid audience, stupid audience lead to stupid, crappy and fake movies and TV shows. And the circle repeats itself.

So let’s see, what is the dumbest animal on Earth? Worms? Goldfish? Insects? Lemmings? WRONG! The answer is these dumbfucks who thought that copying people’s ideas is such a wonderful thing. I’m not going to ask them to be ashamed of themselves, because apparently shame is something that they do not have or born with.

Between Plagiarism and Faith

I stumbled across this image that appears to be a promotional poster of an event held by a church’s youth service. Seeing this, I am truly embarrassed, especially as a Christian. This is an example on why we seem to hold this “double standard” on how we treat stealing as a sin. Didn’t we all agree that the seventh commandment is “You shall not steal”?

When I see this picture, all I can think of is that it’s a direct rip-off of Michael Jackson’s “This is It”. No matter how you see it, how you think that you can get away because you did this for a religious cause whatsoever, it’s still a blatant plagiarism. And no, this is not a parody. At all.

So if you think that this is a parody, then you must’ve got it all wrong, as a parody is created to mock, comment, or poke fun on the original version. If you call this a tribute, what tribute? Does God want you to steal other people’s work? Do you even think that He will have this slightest pride upon you for doing this? Does he give you such little and puny creativity that you must steal an idea? That is preposterous. I believe completely that even if it’s only an ugly text in a photocopied piece of paper, God would appreciate that so much more because you didn’t include stealing as a part of the process.

Hey, creator (or should I say copycat?) of this “He is It” poster, you think you’re more religious than I am? Because I mocked you down for your religious and faithful effort to please God? Please, don’t be such a hypocrite when all you can do is stealing people’s work. You should be ashamed of calling yourself faithful to God. Yes, God inspires the praise, but He certainly did not inspire you to steal. This has got to stop, one way or another.

WHY CAN’T YOU JUST WRITE IT NORMALLY?!?!

Sunday, February 14, 2010

Yesterday, I text messaged Andreas under the assumption that his Esia number is, in fact, still his. I was wrong. It turned out to be an alay who replied me with:

Ni Cp4

At that point, I thought Andreas mistyped something and sent it to me, so I replied:

Hahaha loe salah ngetik ya?

And it replied back:

mgkn

And that was when it hit me. Shit. It is not Andreas, it’s some kind of… thing, which sole purpose is to create confusion in your normal life! Apparently “Ni Cp4″ means “Ini siapa?” Okay, you alay, how the fuck people would know what you’re writing, you idiot?

And You Really Thought You Could Fool Me with This Dumb Shit?

There is a good reason why unlike this dude with the number +62 878 41613739 (you might want to put this into your ignore list), we have actual and functional brains in our heads.

Dear number +62 878 41613739, if you want to actually do a scam, why not for the love of God, write things properly and professionally? You jackass.

Sorry, ANZ, Your Trick Won’t Work on Me

Monday, January 25, 2010

Yes, it’s still about ANZ. Not only that they mistyped my name on the credit card, they are apparently sleazy enough (or at least they thought they are) to pull some tricks to get me to pay the annual credit card fee up front and get away with it.

So here’s the story, some time ago, a sales called me if I wanted a gold credit card, and I asked him back if the first annual fee is free or not. He said yes, so okay, fine, sign me up for that. Then, that stupid name mistype fiasco came up. Now, they are sending me the first bill, with a 300k charge printed on it for the annual fee. This is not what I signed up for, so I called them.

They said, there is this promo that if I spend 100k before the end of this month, I will get a “dana belanja” that is worth 300k to be credited to my credit card next month. The customer support said, their policy is to charge the annual fee up front, and this so-called “dana belanja” can be used to cover up my bills. Yes, just as long as I spend another 100k with the card. She said that I should just make the payment for this annual fee, it’s going to be free anyway in a sense, according to them.

So what if I don’t want to use the card next month, or in fact for the entire year? That means, that 300k worth of “dana belanja” is stuck in the card right? And that I have to actually SPEND another 300k to be able to enjoy that friggin “dana belanja”.

I told the officer to cancel the card, but she wanted me to call back tomorrow at office hours. I told her this:

“SAYA NGGA MAU TAHU, MBAK BIKIN LAPORANNYA DAN SAYA MAU MEREKA YANG TELEPON! KALO BESOK SAYA NGGA DITELEPON, AWAS AJA.”

And so she made that report. Nice try, ANZ, better luck next time, I’m canceling the card. And oh, a piece of advice. If you want to trick someone, try someone that’s actually dumber than you, it might just actually work out. Going through things like this with me, seriously, it’ll just make you even dumber than you already are.
