Hash Browns with A LITTLE Dog Poo...

DEFINITELY
I would NOT eat that!
I would rather eat a whole bitter gourd fresh with garlic and onions as condiments...
(it's healthy you know!=p)



Thinking again,
I have probably eaten a lot of hash browns with dog poo,
sometimes it is with A LOT of dog poo.

Okay, this post is not an exposé
on the production of hash browns.
IT IS A REAL STORY=)

There were two teenager girls who begged their dad
to watch a movie with their friends.
"IT'S TOTALLY AWESOME," they said
"AND WE JUST GOT TO WATCH IT!
PLEASEeeeeee!"

The dad replied,
"Wait for 30 minutes to get a permission!"

Dad then went into the kitchen and busied himself.
After 30 minutes of desperate anticipation,
Dad came out of the kitchen and something smelled really delicious....

"Okay, children, you know that movie you wanted to watch
has some bad stuff in it..."
Immediately, the teenagers reassuringly replied,
"We two are big enough to handle those stuff,"
and saying with a twinkle in the eye,
"Dad, you taught us the good values, we'll keep it.
Don't WORRY!"

"Okay fine, I understand."
Then, the BUT came in,
"Well, you can go for the movie on one condition.
You have to finish these hash browns."

The girls were overjoyed.
That's like the easiest way of getting a permission!

Just then, before their joy were complete, Dad added,
"But I added some dog poo into the hash brown.
No worries though,
it's so LITTLE 
than you won't even taste it!"

The strange thing is this:
I would be so disgusted by
Hash Browns with A LITTLE Dog Poo...
yet I was so willingly eating movie hash browns
with occasional dog poo of profanity, nudity and vulgarity.

Movies nowadays are so commercialised,
willing to keep on pushing the borders of decency,
making sensations out of these things.
Movies that are supposed to be about cool robotics
tried to be more appealing to the humorous crowd
added jokes like "We are under enemy's scrotum".
In addition to that, focused much of the camera on the
Fox-y sexy body which wouldn't add any incentive for Transformers.

We are like supposed to be more "open" 
by watching some japanese story(ies)
to understand multiculturalism and clash of cultures
via sex scenes under the scorching Pilbara desert sun.
Taught to be more open,
I was like to suppose to watch the underlying nuances of meaning
in sex scenes where the female character wears the male's pants
during the international course?
Produce that during your English exam as well, thank you.

Aroused by curiosity towards
the award-nominated movies like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,
I watched it thinking it'll be a really good movie of exploring human aging.
FINALLY A GOOD FILM!
Oh, how I regretted watching it!

Okay, at first a visit to the brothel when he's a "teenager".
No big deal. Plus it's a funny sex scene!
Then, affairs with an married woman...
Okay, maybe it's about the issues of 
husbands neglecting wives' sexual and emotional needs?
Then, it turned into a continuous carefree life 
of wonderful, unadulterated sex with a childhood lover 
in the "youth" of their days.
I was hooked all the way through the movie,
refusing to off the laptop.
It was a terrible day when I realised 
Brad was in the Pit of sex.
He even said it, 
"I'm just your sex player."

Yes, there are stuff to learn from Mr Button,
but all I remembered was the sex scenes,
CARBON BURNT onto my brain, indelible.
Just like "I'm under enemy's scrotum"...
totally can't recall the cool robot fights.
Even if there are good lessons to be learnt,
sifting through all the bad chaff,
the bad far outweighs the good stuff.

It's hash browns with  A LITTLE Dog Poo...

All I wanted from movies is good entertainment
and if possibly good messages that benefit my life.
Moviemakers make movies that we demand.
We demanded new stuff, new sensations,
so they sensationalise all this stuff.

Today, I make a stand to demand for good movies.
I want good stuff like Wall-E.
I want robots and not Fox-es or scrotums.

I've eaten enough dog poo
and I believe I can learn good messages
like multiculturalism, sex, human rights
without the dog poo.

I DEMAND FOR GOOD MOVIES
Would you?
Or you won't mind eating
Hash Browns with A LITTLE Dog Poo?
And now, dear brother and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

  1. good post! never saw it that way before. definitely agree that we all could do with a little less 'dog poo' on our movie hash browns. they're brainwashing us unconsciously, convincing us that what they show in movies is what society considers its 'norm', when it clearly doesn't. if not, they say that its pure entertainment with a little harmless fun.

    I want more good movies too! :)
