This is not journalism, this is bullshit

I find it incredible that RazorTV tried to pass this off as journalism or some bastardised form of it. I am not surprised that the fatal stabbing of a teen at Downtown East is news, however, the only newsworthy part of it is the stabbing. His subsequent funeral is NOT news.

I find it really disgusting and warped that the editor of RazorTV, apparently a useless scumbag with a half-assed sense of news values and lacking in human decency, decided to send his video crew to take videos of a funeral procession, demonstrating an utter lack of sensitivity to a family that has just endured a really tragic loss. On top of that, he even tried to paint it off as "the friends of the murdered teen getting aggressive".

He should be thankful that his crew was not seriously assaulted, because in other countries, I can so totally imagine that happening. At least in Singapore, people are still civilised. These people have just endured a loss of a close friend, a loss that can be described as nothing less than traumatic, and nobody in that frame of mind will be rational.

This is NOT journalism. This is nothing but disgusting. And it does nothing for the already abysmal credibility of RazorTV. You may be the media, but it does not give you the right to demonstrate the social skills of a prehistoric ape. You are a journalist because you want to help humanity, not degrade its moral fibre.

I don't mean to get all preachy and idealistic here, but this is just an affront to everything that journalism stands for. If there is a reason why people hate reporters, this is it.

J.P Morgan's reply to a Pretty Girl

Don't ask me why I put a gossipgirl picture here, I just thought it suited the post somehow.

This is for all the young and pretty girls out there who want to hook a rich guy just because they are young and pretty. I don't buy it for a moment that the actual CEO of JP Morgan replied, but the impostor puts up a very good argument nonetheless.

Note: I edited the original post for grammar because I couldn't stand the grammar proficiency of bimbos.

Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?

I'm going to be honest about what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only middle class in New York. My requirements are not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you?

Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden, $250k annual income is not enough.

I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why are most wives of the rich only average-looking? I've met a few girls who don't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)

Awesome reply:
Dear Ms. Pretty,

I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.

From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of "beauty" and "money": Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year.

Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later. By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a "trading position".

If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or "leased".

Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.

Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in "leasing" services, do contact me...

Uke got talent

I went to a ukulele open mic session called Uke Got Talent where some of my friends were performing today, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was organised by these guys as seen above, and held at the 15 minute cafe at the Lasalle College of the Arts.

There were good performances, some not so good, but I was amazed at the ingenuity of the players, who managed to improvise their own covers of songs and rock them out. I was particularly impressed by one group that did a ukulele rock cover of "Papa Don't Preach", which was cool as hell not least because it had a ukulele bass. Like who even knew that there was a bass version of the ukulele. They got the whole cafe clapping together to their song, no easy feat considering that the patrons were spread over two levels. But the nature of good performers is, they draw you in, and before you know it you're part of the performance.

I totally regret not bringing my camera, and I want an ukulele for Christmas.
