so Senegal lost. while it is always sad to see the defeated team gather in a tight circle looking woe-begone, you can't help but feel happy for the euphoric team that won. alot of bouncing around and smooching i see. indeed excitement makes people do funny things =) *boing boing* did alot of jumping myself hehehe *boing*

what struck me as funny was that during the half-time break the english channel (on which the soccer match was showing) had so many advertisements asking .. wait.. BEGGING people to watch the mandarin channel during half-time =D heheh personally, i would want to have nothing to do with the mandarin channel... or the english channel for that matter. simply because the local programs (be it variety shows or dramas) are awfully brainless. and it's not only the fobbish language i am talking about here (that's ok, cuz it's part of the culture) but the content alone would be sufficiently brainless to cause a 40 point (or more, if you are more susceptible to changes in your environment) drop in the IQ. It seems as though they cannot go beyond 'slapstick comedy'.

here's an excerpt:

girl: i don't see what you guys see in football (soccer). It is merely a group of guys kicking a stupid ball around.
guy: no, it is a group of guys kicking a stupid ball around into a net.

hardly a contender in the 'America's Funniest Home Video'. call me a cynic but .. mmm i really have something against the quality of national TV. =/ It just isn't .. healthy to watch all those programs!

Comments anyone?
