Leave your guns at home, Bill
Taken straight from The Star:
SHAH ALAM: Female students in higher-learning institutes here are being persuaded not to wear panties on Valentine’s Day as an expression of true love for their boyfriends.
Looks like going bareback (barebottom?) is the way to go this Valentines. But hold on to your panties, no one’s going to pull a Britney if JAIS (State Islamic Affairs Department) has a say in things,
Datuk Mohammed Khusrin Munawi said: “We will not allow Muslim students to be taken in by such celebrations that deviate from the teachings of Islam.”
How are they gonna check, though? I’d suggest this:
You Rais me up
To anyone not Malaysian, the #yorais tag must be pretty confusing. What with more important news at hand, like Cadbury’s handover to Kraft.
It started with this news article, where Malaysia’s Information Communication and Culture Minister (aka Censorship goon), Rais Yatim, basically said Malaysians shouldn’t get too into the whole internet business, especially in regards to twitter and facebook. ‘Cause it’s shady western stuff.
He also tells Malaysians not to make fun of non-net savvy people. Which we blatantly ignore.
Two tweets that best summed up the Rais issue:
When Prometheus stole fire from gods to give it to mortals, #yorais said to give it back. It’s evil. We don’t use dat kind of technology.
-akukelabu
Rais provides an unfounded & silly reason for people to turn their backs on something potentially useful/fun. This tweet also keeps to the “Yo mama’s so old” format.
OMG! I think the fire last night was Rais Yatim trying to send a message to his friends! kantoi! #yorais
- @leviasher
Not only suggesting that Rais has other clueless old-fogie friends, but it also references the fire in Tun Sambanthan. The fire in which the news thanks social media for the headsup. Flying in the face of Rais’ Amishness. Kantoi!
And one last tweet that’s tumblr related:
He so ancient he think Tumblr is how his kids bring water to school. #yorais
-@altimet
For more silliness, just search the #yorais hashtag or Spinzer’s blog.
