It isn’t very relevant to the more pressing issues facing Singaporeans at the moment. In fact, it’s way too nonsensical. And all the more disappointing. Your podcasts seem to lack precision.

well done brown, if only those people can see that it is not about the nonsensical ideals but more so about the ideals behind the sarcasm.

@welldone!
The recent fracas indicates the problems with using metaphor, nonsense, sarcasm and parody in commentary. It doesn’t matter in politicians do it, they are called politicians for a reason.
I applaud mrbrown for his persistent commentary and ideals, but there are limits to what a lampooning podcast can do in terms of delivering the ideals behind sarcasm. The only way to prove one’s credibility is to stand up as worthy, examinable candidates to the majority vote.
It saddens me that the use of metaphor is regarded as contentious in this climate(will the creative drought ever cease?), but in a hypersensitive arena, facts remain unassailable. Facts and precision are still lacking(or poorly publicised) in alternative ideologies and media outlets.
I am all for critiquing the alternative until it is able to stand up as a viable choice against the mainstream, instead of delivering yet another pat on their back for their brilliant wit and prize insults.

Overheard:
“And don’t let them wear any protection.
If you are not skilful enough…”
And with that, an accidental channel cross-over into sexuality education…?!

Facts are subject to interpretation, and when emotions run high, or authority weighs in, one side loses, the other wins.
Consider the half-empty/half-full glass.
Are the optimists having a field day, or are the pessimists dominant?
Of course, society is more complex and many-sided than that!

This is not your best, but still okay, I guess. Nonetheless, you still make up some amusing ways to “improve” YOG.
Personally, I really like the horse-rchery” thing. I quickly think of old Chinese movies at once. So cool! They should totally make it into an Olympic sport, you know!
P.S. At first, I really thoguht you kena censored…but thank goodness lah!

Combine mario kart with world cup! with powerups!

uurrggghhh…ahem! There are some humorous parts so I don’t see this as a poor production from you guys. Not one of your better productions but pretty hilarious for some of the suggestions you guys gave! eg. the swimming costumes…that’s a good idea.
