da vinci

watch da vinci yesterday
for those whu had read the bk, dun go watch the movie la
a waste of time
me n kiat read the bk liaoz so throughout the show we were damn bored, keep turning to each other and commenting wat a sianz show
in fact, we juz feel like turning behind and tell keeyang him all the spoilers,, etc whu the real teacher wat gona happen next...
obviously the director didn't follow the bk all the way
and he was probably trying to pacify the christian audenice when he has tom hanks muttering something bout asserting his faith
wat a relief when the show was over
better off reading the bk

media responsibility

i know bad news sell but sometimes , i juz feel that the media went abit too far in thier reporting.Like the murder trial for the china woman liu something and her lover.I dun understand why the media have to report everything about what the killer motives are and what happen...i mean after recounting all these details ,does it serve any purpose other than generating readership. well, yea i'm contradicting myself here for the point of these reporting is to sell news.It is a money-making industry after all. but there should be some kind of social responsibility when reporting.

Revealing unnecessary details and throwing excessive limelight on a case serve onli to aggrieve the relatives of both the deceased and the defendant further.Take the chinese male murderer's family for example.With all these uproar, how are they supposed to face up to everyone..think of the emotional stress they go through when they noe that her husband or thier father or thier relative is a murder.thhink of how ashamed the wife is at her husband's betrayal, all made worse by the media as the latter recount all the story of how the love affair goes...

N if that is not enough, take the case of tammy of nyp...i do not understand y the reporter for this tammmy affair has to go as far as revealing where she study and other personal details of her.it's suspiciously obvious the reporter wanted everyone to know her personally.the public notoriety tammy has gained , the shame she has to endure was too high a price to pay for the mistake she make..n all thnks to the dear bastard reporter and his editor for tt
