Could this be our very own, Baghdad Bob/Comical Ah Lee?


Thanks to Youtube



It is sad that this person holds such views and if you listen to the latter part of the interview, he seems to be completely out of touch with the reality. The column is a humour column. If MITA thinks that the rag stepped out of their play pen, the editors and management should be taken to task not the columnist.

It has been described many a times that the so called "main stream media" is a government mouthpiece. I think it is wrong. They are actually finger puppets. They do not have a body and all they have is a painted face with a non moving mouth (hey at least they have a mouth, Hello Kitty does not have it!). Every so often, these marionettes show an independent thought only to have the supporting finger withdrawn!

I am wondering what constitutes "main stream media"? If a publication is not supportive of the government script, will it be deems alternative and therefore non-main stream? So, if the Edge carried mrbrown's column, this turn of events would not have happened? My sense is that the "main stream media" is a red herring. mrbrown was being targeted because of the bak chor mee satire and this was an easy 1-2 punch. Could Mr TalkingCock.Com be next?
